We had a phenomenal tour of the mangroves. Ian was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and told us all about the animals and the lagoon. We highly recommend this experience!!!
Remarkable and amazing! We were so lucky to see a ton of manatees which were beautiful gentle giants. The mangrove tunnels are gorgeous and so peaceful. Sunset did not disappoint and just made the trip end on a perfect note. Special thanks to Joe who was so knowledgeable and patient with our questions!!! He was a fantastic guide and we would love to join him for a sunrise tour next time!
This is an absolute must do! Our guide, Caleb, was super friendly and knowledgeable. We had an awesome evening!
Caleb was a great guide. He is knowledgeable and there was no pressure to go faster or slow down. We got to stop and just watch the dolphins multiple times on the trip.
Tour wasn’t great. We only spotted 1 dolphin and nothing but birds. This is not the fault of the tour operators or guide, but without interesting things to see, it’s just a 2 hour kayak trip. It was actually quite strenuous and not ideal for first time kayakers, despite what the site advertised. Went as a family and the kids didn’t enjoy it. The mangrove tunnels were very difficult to navigate with the paddle length in tight spaces. Definitely wear bug spray!
Thank you for joining us but we're sorry that you were disappointed in your excursion. The Thousand Islands Conservation area is a diverse, natural ecosystem. While dolphins and manatees can often be the highlight of a tour they sometimes can prove elusive. Still, most of our guests - including first time paddlers of all ages - seem to find the other wonders of the area, including mangroves, other wildlife and gentle waters to be both interesting and relaxing. We hope you'll give our eco tours another chance, perhaps checking out a bioluminescence tour in the summer.
Everything was perfect for this beautiful kayaking experience with the Caleb guide. He provided interesting information about the lagoon. The narrow passages in the mangroves were really cool! I recommend.
What a wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Caleb was absolutely wonderful! He knew so much about the area, and answered all of my silly questions. He made the tour so fun, and relaxing. We did see a few dolphins at the end of the trip, tons of birds (amazing birds I can’t name them all but wow!) no manatees, but I learned that they like warmer water :) so I’ll come back in summer and see them. Definitely recommend. Especially if you’re lucky enough to get Caleb as your guide.
Fabulous, well-organized kayak tour of the mangroves. Our guide Kristin was excellent, knowledgable about the area and wildlife. Her photos were also very much appreciated as a lasting memory of a lovely evening.
The Tour was amazing and our Guide was fantastic too! We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone who comes to cocoa beach! (Or maybe you should even travel there for that experience 😉). It was a very individual tour and seeing the landscape and beeing so close to the animals has been an unique experience. Or guide gave us many interesting information about the landscape and the animals and also took a lot of beautiful pictures and videos of us for free. We loved it. 👍🏼
Guide was very knowledgeable, polite and friendly. Didn’t mind helping us old people up and down. Beautiful tour!
