  Can’t go wrong here with Phil and a couple of kayaks at Manatee Cove. Phil delivered us two single person kayaks and sent us on our way. Two hours, several... read more manatees later, he met us and picked up the kayaks. Easy peasy! Great location, free parking, excellent kayaking and yes there were manatees! Thanks Phil! FIVE STARS FOR SURE. (Sorry no pix, who takes a cell phone out kayaking?)

  This was a family trip- ages 8-72! Pollyanna was our guide and she was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the animals. We saw many manatee, dolphins and birds. I... read more would have like a little more time in the cove with the manatee but overall it was a favorite adventure of our trip!

  Great Florida experience - We didnt get in the water for the sunset tour as weather moved in quickly and we had to be rescheduled. Our rescheduled tour was during the afternoon as late... read more afternoon showers were in the forecast. Guide was knowledgeable and gave us a lot of great information. We did get to see a couple of dolphins outside of the cove, along with other wildlife and sea creatures. We got to see the manatees inside the cove. We all enjoyed ourselves.

  We had so much fun on our tour! We saw comb jellyfish, dolphins, beautiful spoonbills, egrets, herons, osprey, and pelicans catching fish!
The launch spot was great, and Alex had... read more a great tone, and we learned so much about horseshoe crabs and all the mangroves, and shells, like the welt, the crown, and the tulip! I don't know how he saw these under the water to show us, but he has an eagle eye!

  When we asked the guide what are the chances of seeing a manatee and he said 100%, we were dubious. But the inlet was teeming with these gentle giants! Wonderful... read more to paddle (carefully!) in the water with them and see them up close. We also sighted a couple of dolphins. We will definitely do this again;-)

  Alex our guide was absolutely great! Thee calmest even in unexpected situations lol The bioluminescent part of it was a disappointment. You could kind of see jellies but barely. As... read more far as anything else no luck. Was told it’s too late in the season... Had a little surprise, my daughter was paddling in front of me and flung a pufferfish right into the kayak and it landed right between my legs! Being dark and not being able to see what it was yes I almost went straight into the water, Alex and my daughter found quite comedy in it while I was having a slight panic attack haha once we got over the fear of being on the water after dark we were able to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature, all the animals that live amongst the forest around us and get to know our guide a bit. Was definitely an experience that’s for sure! Never a dull moment with us! Lol

  Great thanks to our guide, Erin, for bringing us out onto the lagoon for a wonderful tour. Erin is patient and knowledgeable on the wildlife and nature environment. It was... read more a pleasure watching a group of dolphins swimming in the glorious sunset, or a rare pink heron flying across the sky. Children had fun kayaking and said it was like exploring "uncharted" waters. This was an unforgettable experience for everyone to treasure and remember.

  Super fun trip! Mark was our guide. He was knowledgeable and funny! We saw manatees, jumping mullet, and plenty of glowing jellyfish.

  My husband and I took our daughter and her friend on this kayaking trip. I called Phil with questions ahead of time as the girls are beginner kayakers, and... read more he was very responsive and honest. We had an amazing time. We kayaked right next to one manatee, and three dolphins. We also saw many horseshoe crab, many beautiful birds and so many fish jumping. It was a day we won’t forget. So worth the money!

  First time kayakers - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, experienced, and patient with us. First time kayakers, it was a great experience. We saw dolphins, but experienced manatees up close and personal.
