2026 7 1: Okay, so we didn't see any dolphins or manatees, but I still give this trip a 5/5 stars!…read more We booked a 7:30pm to 9:30pm bio and mangrove tour. The funnest part was going through the mangrove tunnels! That was a barrel of laughs as we moved through "Tarzan style", that is, grabbing the branches and pulling yourself and your kayak through! My son was in the back of the kayak doing the work, while I was taking pics or videotaping, so I had to be careful of the rogue branch to the head! But it wasn't a problem, and I enjoyed myself immensely. When it got dark, we each put our nets (given to us to borrow) in the water, and the bottom of my net was glowing! It was a bio jellyfish or something, clear, and the size of a golf ball! While my son paddled, I would just hold the handle, with the net in the water, and I would catch 2 or 3 or 4 glowing, squishy balls! Wow, that was cool! It was a full moon, but we still got to experience some of the bio, with our net and our paddles pushing through the water. There were mosquitos, but Cocoa Kayaking supplies you with a lot of repellent to put on at the start, along with a life jacket. When you arrive, there's this building with a restaurant/bar inside, that's the only bathrooms there are, but Cocoa Kayaking will meet you not in a building, but way across the parking lot toward the water, you'll see a big truck and trailer with lots of kayaks on it. Our guide was super cool, very friendly, and always a bunch of interesting stories to tell, he was one of the best parts of the trip! And in general, I really just love to kayak, and the waters were calm, and the weather was perfect, so everything went great and I would def do it again! Oh, don't worry if you can't swim, a bunch of the trip, if you fell out, the water would only go to your knees. But you can't tell while you are kayaking, it feels like it could be 10 feet deep throughout most of the trip. But it wasn't. We also saw a stingray our guide picked up for us. So neat!! Oh, they also give you bags to put your stuff in the boat with you, so your stuff doesn't get wet. We brought water bottles but didn't stop to drink them, tho it was 80 degrees out. Never even thought of it. Don't forget your deet! (I was the only one who got bit - there were 5 of us--after putting on their stuff and my deet spray, and it was only 1 mosquito, with 2 + hours on the water. But it was on my knee, after I rolled up my jeans past my knees and never put any spray or lotion there.) Also, you can pay a little extra to have the guide to yourself (up to 10 people), or you can pay a little less, but they might add some strangers to your trip, also, up to 10 people. In our group there were us 5, another couple, and a single guy. Plenty of room for everyone, except for those in the back might not have heard everything the guide was saying, which was interesting and funny.

I'm a big paddleboard person, so I figured kayaking couldn't be that different... and honestly, it was such a good call. I signed up for the morning paddle and Ian was our guide super friendly, easy to talk to, and actually knew a ton about the area without making it feel like a lecture. I was really hoping to see a manatee (still a little salty about that lol), but we did see a bunch of beautiful birds, tons of stingrays, and even a random little dolphin which totally made my day. The weather was perfect, the water was calm, and the whole experience was just really relaxing and fun. 10/10 would recommend if you're into paddling, kayaking, or just want a chill little water adventure.

My family went on an evening airboat tour with Seth. It was an awesome experience that I would…read morerecommend to friends and family. The tour included an hour long transit through waterways and swampy areas. We saw tons of alligators of all sizes. There was also a lot of other cool wildlife to see. At $65/50 per adults/kids, the price seemed fair and was a good value for what you got. Seth was friendly and knowledgeable. I especially liked that he is the owner/ operator rather than going through a separate tour organization company. They take credit cards.

We saw plenty of wildlife, cypress forest, baby gators and learned plenty about the area. Seth does like to talk about growing up there but we all enjoyed hearing it. Forget the theme parks. This was a real Florida experience. I would recommend this outfit for an airboat ride. We almost did the dinner tour. Glad we didn't. We went to the restaurant they were going to take us to before our ride, Lone Cabbage Fish Camp. The food was not good but the beer was cold. Enjoy!

Most charter boats don't take more than 6 people, so being able to take our party of 7 was great…read more What a trip it was. The captain (Ian) is very knowledgeable and able to tell us exactly what we can and can't keep and has been doing this kind of stuff pretty much his whole life. He found us some great spots, and went above and beyond during the trip. Highlight of the trip was when he helped us snag a large bull shark! They were great about telling us what we needed to do, but letting us actually do it. We actually hooked a second one, but it ended up snapping the line on that one. They filleted what we caught as soon as we got back to the pier and we were able to get it cooked right away at the restaurant at the pier, and took home the rest of what we weren't going to eat. This was my first experience deep sea fishing. This was, by far, the best fishing trip I could have asked for and set a VERY high bar for any future fishing trips to follow in the future.

Our tour guide was very informative and it was great to hear about the area and learn things I had never heard of before. The staff was friendly and great with the small children in the group. They also had a cooler with water and Gatorade for passengers. We saw sea turtles, dolphins, red fish, and many native birds. They also had a fish tank and woukd let the children interact with them. I would recommend this to anybody from out of town or any local resident. Lots of information for any age group. They were also very helpful to a group member who got sea sick. A+ in my book! Looking forward to going on the fishing charter they have!

It was kind of tough though as there were issues with the boat that almost canceled the tour and then it ended 45 minutes early due to weather. Regardless we were totally satisfied. CJ COMMUNICATED VERY WELL AND TIMELY ABOUT THE BOAT ISSUES. We hung in and just went along. No biggie. Tour started on time. The experience was awesome as the blue is for real! It was like the movie avatar but we weren't blue - the water was and we got to let it run over our hands. Could have played with that jellyfish longer or gone for another. It was all around fun and interesting. I'd do it again!

We had an absolutely incredible time with Steve and Lana on this eco tour! From start to finish,…read morethe experience was relaxed, informative, and genuinely enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see several manatees and plenty of dolphins, all while enjoying a slow, peaceful cruise on a beautiful day with an amazing sea breeze. Steve and Lana were exceptional hosts. They were warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, and it was obvious how deeply they care about the local wildlife and ecosystem. One thing that really stood out was the respect they showed for the animals. Steve operated the boat with such care and intention, always assuming there could be a manatee nearby or even directly beneath us. It was clear that protecting the wildlife comes before everything else, and that made the experience even more meaningful. We walked away not only with wonderful memories (and photos/videos) but with a much greater understanding of manatees, their habitat, and how we can all help protect them. It's rare to find a tour that is both entertaining and educational, but Steve and Lana have mastered that balance. They also have water and other soft drinks for purchase at what seemed to be almost cost, which was a thoughtful touch on a warm Florida day. If you're considering this tour, don't hesitate. We would absolutely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, ethical, and unforgettable wildlife experience. Thank you, Steve and Lana, for such a fantastic day!

What made the trip even more special was Captain Steve taking his time and letting us soak up every moment. He didn't rush us along but made sure we had plenty of time to watch the dolphins hunt and enjoy the experience! Captain Steve and Jacob were fantastic, and they made our adventure one to remember! Great vibes, beautiful sights, and dolphins galore! What more could you ask for?! If you're looking for a fun, unforgettable time on the water, Captain Steve and Jacob are your guys!

They ran out of bacon and sausage and it was supposed to be a brunch which they closed up rather quickly instead of leaving it open for the duration of the trip, but it was it took a really long time to get a frozen drink where the bartender continue to serve everyone else that was in line 1st, so she could reduce the length of the line versus stopping and making a piña colada which mind me I was first in line. The captain was extremely rude, screaming at a boat that was passing us on the wrong side when he was getting ready to dock, he could've handled that better, and he also screamed at a 97-year-old woman that was in the front of the boat world to move because she was in his way. Luckily, the lady was hard of hearing so a family member was able to ask her politely to move over which is something the captain should've done, but he was extremely rude. Thank goodness it was not my mother or he would've gotten an earful. There's a lot of things that they could do to improve this cruise and they should because it's a really nice event to hold for a special occasion or a midnight cruise. They just need to listen to the people that have input and change some things for the better.
