Kayak & Stand Up Paddleboard Tours & Rentals.

  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

  Excellent time, daughter, husband, myself, and our parents all had an excellent time! Was not too strenuous and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, weather was the only thing preventing us from... read more going back for a rest tour!!

  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!

  The guide was very knowledgeable. We saw many dolphins and some manatees. The best thing was we weren't rushed as the 2 hours was more than enough time for our tour.

  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;-) …

  First off I woul like to say ALEX is the best tour guide ever! He’s super sweet, and just awesome! It was actually one of the best tours my husband... read more and I have done. He told us about why the water glows and the science behind that. I can say it was a super relaxing night and just an amazing experience.

  Our guide was very friendly. Extremely knowledgeable of all the wildlife and local fauna. Saw Dolphin, Manitee, Blue heron, Green heron, Osprey and Horseshoe crab. Great day on... read more the water. Thank you Calypso Kayaking.

  We booked the bioluminescent tour. We went out at 9 at night and played around in the phosphorescent Plankton and caught a few of the jellyfish that light up. We... read more had an awesome time, and our guide Jared was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We definitely recommend this tour. Remember tip your tour guide not your kayak!

  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!!

  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. …

  What can I say other than spectacular! From the water seeming to stimulate itself to the leaping mullet and the lightning-like streaks from tarpon and a porpoise chasing them, an... read more awesome experience. Our guide was very informative and kept things interesting for our small group of three. Would do this again in a heartbeat! Just wish I had a camera capable of taking low-light pictures. Being something better than a standard cell phone if you want good photos. Arrangements easy to make, with the operator letting us know about conditions (which were excellent, even this late in the year) prior to reserving.

  We have had the most amazing time and have referred all of our friends to Calypso Kayaking!! We ourselves have now taken the kayaking tour twice and have rented... read more kayaks two other times and plan on going this weekend when in town. When we went last month when in town we saw atleast a dozen Manatees and then went out onto the river and had 5 dolphins swimming along with us as we kayaked, it was amazing!! Cannot wait to go again. The owner himself took us out last time and his son had taken us out another time. They are so knowledgeable and respectful of the area and the wildlife that resides there. We have been very impressed every single time!!
