Kayak & Stand Up Paddleboard Tours & Rentals.

  We had a terrific tour with Calypso Kayak Tours tonight. Our guides, Alex and Adrena were helpful and knowledgeable. We saw lots of bioluminescence and bioluminescent jellies. It... read more was a wonderful evening.

  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!

  Erin was great and showed us the local animal life. No manatees today but we did see a gator and a dolphin.

We had only made the reservation a... read more few hours in advance, so we're grateful they were able to accommodate us.

  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

  This was a great tour! Loved the bioluminescence. It was really cool and Alex, our guide was great. Loved the flying mullet. Two landed in our kayak.... read more Definitely a must do!

  The Bioluminescence kayak guided tour was truly an amazing experience. ALEX was brilliant. He explained the "science",as well as making sure we all had a great night seeing the... read more outstanding effects. Well worth the late evening trip. Will come back again.

  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. …

  Fabulous! Met us at Manatee Lagoon Park and we were in the water in minutes. Great communication about where to go and what to do. Thanks!

  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!!

  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.

  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.

  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
