Kayak & Stand Up Paddleboard Tours & Rentals.

  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?)

  Great family experience - Donovan was a great tour guide. We enjoyed getting out of the kayak to explore. It was very interesting to watch the fish swim through the plankton. ... read more We could see their path. We went with a group of nine ages 13-54 and we all enjoyed it.

  Great experience, the guides were so full of knowledge and truly pleasant, made the experience very unique! Not much to see Manatee or Dolphin wise but we understand that is... read more totally hit or miss.

****I also wanted to leave feedback for our Bioluminescent night tour (which we did the night before, but can't seem to sign in to) sooooo awe inspiring! Would recommend doing it first, enjoy the stars and peaceful setting 🙂

  We rented kayaks for a full day and launched from Manatee Bay. Had a great day. We saw dolphins and lots of birds, including Roseate Spoonbills up in... read more Pine Island. Highly recommend renting from Calypso, he was very accommodating and willing to meet us anywhere local to launch the kayaks. We had planned to see the rocket launch but it got scrubbed so we kayaked out of manatee bay instead.

  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 showed up at 8:30 like it says on the confirmation. Nobody from Calypso. Finally two people show up. One is the owner. We can hear... read more him yelling at his phone at an employee. Then he tells us the time is changed and we are an hour early. He says that tripadvisor has wrong time. He then let's a group pay cash for only $40 each. We paid $55. I asked why. He tells me trip advisor adds 25percent to his fees and no taxes. Seems very shady. When asked he gets very defensive. Does not offer anything and blames on TripAdvisor. Staff seems scared of owner. He was by his truck smoking when I approached. Basically was not interested in helping me because he already had my $$. Did not even apologize. Just blamed tripadvisor. Tour was disorganized and our guide did not give great communication. Half way thru the trip a woman and her son couldn't keep up. They left the group and went back. The leader told the other members of that party in front of us. Almost talking down to the husband of the wife. Very unprofessional. There are a lot of other companies offering this excursion. Alot are cheaper. You are better off trying them for the same experience. …

  The equipment was fine. Check-in was easy and very casual as the attendance left after they gave us instructions how to get the kayak and lifejackets ready for lunch. Little... read more instruction on where to go, what to avoid, you just hit the water and go. We took a tandem, and like I said the equipment was acceptable. Nothing fancy about this place. There were no restrooms, you had to go down to the park facility. No place to lock up car keys, etc. so if you go come prepared with a dry bag.

  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! …

  We did the two hour sunset kayaking tour with Adrena and had a wonderful time! We saw a large variety of birds and many dolphins. Adrena is very... read more knowledgeable and experienced and made the tour very enjoyable. We have been on many kayaking eco tours and this was by far the best! We HIGHLY recommend Adrena and Calypso Kayaking Tours!!!

  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!

  We were staying at new Smyrna beach but really wanted to explore the area, so we booked the bioluminescent tour. We met Jared for the 9pm tour and were out... read more for 90 glorious minutes in the beautiful night and warm waters complete with jumping fish and distant lightning (it was a long way away but was spectacular!) Jared knew exactly where to go and was super knowledgeable about the area and the natural features, obviously including the amazing glowing plankton. Would highly recommend this tour and we will also be back in September with friends!!
