We have fished many different places throughout our travels but this was one that will be memorable. Captain Todd moved our location several times and every spot was productive.

We have nothing but good things to say about our experience and look forward to a return visit.

Karen's Kayaks My only disappointment about Karen's Kayaks…read moreis that I didn't find it sooner. We've been visiting Satellite Beach for more than a decade and I never thought to look up Kayak tours until recently. We had a great time with Karen. We choose the Crane Creek tour leaving from historic downtown Melbourne. It ended up being a manatee/dolphin/alligator watching tour that was worth double or triple what we paid ($40/adults and $25/children). This wasn't a private tour, but Karen took care to make sure I was able to keep up since I am a newbie at kayaking and I was doing it with my daughter in the kayak with me. Karen is very knowledgable about the area, great at teaching kayaking skills without making her unskilled guests feel foolish and good at working with all experience levels. We enjoyed our day with her and were sorry when it was over. I can't wait to go back.

I can't recommend her highly enough. I was here on business and had limited schedule flexibility but she readily agreed to a custom evening paddle for me and 3 companions who had never kayaked before. She planned out a route that would be appropriate for their skill level and still have a chance to see as much local wildlife as possible. When 2 of my group backed out after testing out the boats and deciding that kayaking wasn't for them and the 3rd opted to wait, Karen was generous enough to still take me out on my own. She knew the details of the local flora and fauna and every segment along of the route where manatee, alligators, and other wildlife often could be found. She's incredibly personable and very patient and clearly so respectful of the river and surrounding environment. We stayed out for over 2 hours but she will tailor the length of the outing to whatever is right for the group she's dealing with. Her equipment is in excellent condition and well maintained, and the whole experience is feels totally professional, safe, and best of all, loads of fun. Definitely check out her trips if you're looking for a great paddling experience no matter your skill level.

I have done the Nyami-Nyami kayak tour several times. It is an excellent guided tour and costs about $10/person. You sign up for a time (tours seem to go about every half hour), fill out a waiver electronically and come back at your appointed time. At that time you and your party are taken down to the beach, given life vests, a safety brief, situated in the 2-person kayak, and pushed out onto the river. They take about 6 kayaks at a time. The guide paddles backward and provides a running dialogue about the Nyami Nyami River, the animals, and the sights as you follow them around the circular path. I saw water buffaloes, camels, zebras, ring-tailed lemurs, rhinos, and giraffes. They are building the lion enclosure so in the future you should be able to see those too. This was an excellent adventure. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting the zoo that would like a unique experience and a guided kayak tour through the African environment. Enjoy!

In 1991, these 200 acres of wetlands between the Brevard Zoo and the St. Johns River floodplain…read morewere established by the Brevard County Government as a stormwater treatment system for the adjacent South Central Regional Water Reclamation Facility. The treatment wetlands are divided into four cells of approximately 35 acres each, surrounding a central lake. Each cell was designed to maintain a different water depth, creating a variety of wetland habitats. These stormwater treatment wetlands play an important role in protecting the environment by capturing and retaining stormwater runoff, reducing the risk of flooding in surrounding areas. They also filter and store stormwater, helping recharge the aquifer. Wetland plants naturally remove pollutants from the water, improving its quality before it returns to the environment. Without treatment, stormwater runoff can contribute to algal blooms, muck accumulation, fish kills, and other ecological problems. In addition to their environmental benefits, the wetlands provide valuable habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, including many of Florida's wading birds, while offering visitors an opportunity for wildlife viewing and recreation. In December 2007, the wetlands were renamed the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands in honor of Ritch Grissom, a longtime Brevard County employee who worked at the adjacent South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. The memorial recognizes his 16 years of service and his love for wildlife and the nature. In 2008, the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands were added to the East Section of the Great Florida Birding Trail. It was extremely hot on the day I visited, so I recommend planning your visit during the cooler months of the year for the most enjoyment. Even in the heat, I enjoyed exploring the trails. I spotted numerous ospreys, red-winged blackbirds, an alligator, and even a raccoon on the move that I followed for a while. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I looked down that my legs were covered in mosquitoes, so be sure to bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and water. If you enjoy nature and wildlife off the beaten path you can easily spend hours here. The wetlands are open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Follow the wetlands' Facebook page for the latest updates and photos of recently spotted wildlife.

This is a large Park with lots of walking trails around different wetland areas. It seems like it's a man-made Park with Wells constantly feeling lakes and pumps pumping water from one lake to the next lake. There are areas we can ride your bike for bike riding/mountain bike trails and lots of walking trails as well as there's docks you can walk out and look out on benches you can sit on and a few towers you can go up to get a bird's eye view. For wildlife I saw lots of different species of birds and a lot of alligators. These alligators did not seem friendly like the ones at gatorland. I also saw a lot of bunny rabbits and the rabbits were used to people unless you're pretty close to that.
