Self-Guided Kayaking Manatee and Dolphin Tour

4.Self-Guided Kayaking Manatee and Dolphin Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 13 reviews · 1 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $55

Set out from Cocoa Beach with a kayak and paddling gear delivered to the launch area, then explore calm inshore waters around mangrove islands on your own. The experience suits people who already know how to paddle on flat water: no on-water guide or lessons are included. Allow up to about three hours, and keep an eye out for manatees, dolphins, and mangrove tunnels.

“Really good kayaking! Unique experience going through three mangrove tunnels and got to see the manatees up close! Followed a family for a while. Navigating can be a little tricky but using GPS definitely helped.”

The e-bikes were in excellent condition. Riding it was easy, and exploring the area became effortless, covering more ground than possible on a traditional bike.
