We went to the 9am tour and had a great time. Our guide was very patient and helpful. The pace is easy going so you have a chance to take breaks and let yourself glide rather than paddle all the time. We saw manetees, daulphins, crabs, birds and fish. The part in the mangrove tunnels was very nice. The kids had a lot of fun catching and releasing the bioluminescent jellyfish.

Aloha Emilie! So glad to hear your whole family had a great time on the water! How lucky to have seen manatees, dolphins, crabs, birds, & fish! Awesome! The mangrove tunnels are one of the best features of the Space Coast! The bio comb jellies are definitely fun to catch and see up close! Thank you so much for the positive review! Come back soon for another awesome family adventure!

Ian did a superb job with our tour, keeping us safe from the wind that was coming in. Not much wildlife unfortunately, but still a nice tour.

What a fantastic experience. Our guide James was great, very knowledgable and patient. He took a loads of photos so we didn’t have to a made sure we got the most out of our tour.
The tour itself was a really good length and we saw a big group of manatees, dolphin, jumping fish and a variety of birds. Really good value for money and great for all ages. 10/10 recommend.
