Great experience to get some gentle exercise on the water (we had little wind resistance on our day) and see the wildlife on the river. We saw a great blue heron and many dolphins on our tour. Our guide (Ian) was very informative and patient with us getting through the mangroves.
Great time with family and our guide, JD. He was fun and knowledgeable. Took the time to make sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and safe.
This was an awesome experience. Booked this tour for myself and my teenager and we both loved it. Our guide was James and he was perfect. He pointed out the wildlife and gave interesting info and also let us enjoy the peace and quiet. He told my teenager some jokes at the right times and just had a calming presence. We saw a gator, a dolphin, two manatees, herons and other birds. Piloting through the mangroves was amazing and cool. Highly recommend.
James was very informative. Enjoyed the tour. We had some difficulty in the mangroves & he was very patient. Would highly recommend this tour with James.
This was a great way to spend the morning. James was a great guide. We enjoyed dauphin and manyees and the mangrove tunnels were beautiful
Suzy was a wonderful guide who helped us feel welcomed and safe! We saw so many manatees and their babies. We also saw some dolphins,birds and native groves.
Awesome experience. Our guide was fantastic. Saw Manatee and Dolphins. Mangrove was a wonderful experience as well. Highly recommend for all ages.
I am a novice Kayaker. Susie set me at ease. It was a beautiful experience. Susie was so informative. She sent us a ton of pictures. We did not expect. I can’t wait to return with more friends and family
This was a great tour. Our guide, Susie, was knowledgeable and personable. She connected with each person in our group. Her enthusiasm was contagious as we saw some of her favorite spots. The time spent is just perfect. We left the tour not too tired and never got the “is this almost done?” or “it’s over already?” feelings. I would recommend this tour and guide if you are interested in nature and enjoy being on the water.
Our guide, Ian , was really great! Very knowledgeable and a great communicator! The booking process was very easy. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We saw a lot of amazing birds. We touched jellyfish that do not sting. We saw dolphins in the distance. A lovely time.
Chris was a great guide; knowledgeable of plants and animals in the area, took photos, even led us to a manatee!
15 out of 10 for our guide James. Really cool experience in the lagoon. Kids love it so much we book another trip
We really enjoyed our kayaking tour with James. He was a great guide, witty with his silly jokes and very knowledgeable. James was more than happy to answer all our questions. We saw a glimpse of a manatee mama and baby and a bull shark. No dolphins unfortunately but that’s just how it goes. So much fun…thank you James for that awesome experience!!
We took the 9am kayak trip in Cocoa Beach to view dolphins and manatees. Our guide James was absolutely fantastic. He was relaxed and made you feel at ease, very knowledgeable and glad to answer our questions. This was my favorite experience of our vacation to Cocoa Beach. I would definitely recommend this tour and company and look forward to visiting them again.
Susie was our tour guide. Knowledgeable and educational. Answered everyone's questions too. Loads of fun with Suzie. Will recommend to friends that visit
Great adventure on the water with Ian! He was an awesome guide - patient, helpful, and friendly. As first time kayakers we were nervous and he made it a great experience!
With two teenagers, it can be hard to find an activity they still want to do as a family. This was “forced” family fun and everybody ended up loving it! We all said it was one of our favorite things of our trip. Susie was amazing…super patient, knowledgeable and interesting to listen to! We saw people of all ages doing this trip! I’d definitely recommend it.
We saw dolphins and horseshoe crab. It was a really enjoyable tour. James was our guide and he explained everything to the group.
We took the 10:30 a.m. tour on February 14th. We traveled with Ian and it was a lot of fun. We saw a dolphin and manatees. We can only recommend it, it was worth it. Lari & Bina
I did a tour with Susie earlier this month. I have to say, she is one of the best tour guides I've ever had. Super knowledgeable about the plants & animals, friendly, engaging & always concerned about us having a great time. She offered us wet bags to borrow & took photos throughout our tour so we didn't have to worry about dropping our phones in the water. I would highly recommend a tour with Susie!
Ian was a fantastic guide. He helped us all get in the kayaks. He pointed out things of interest, he was knowledgeable about the wildlife in the area. Really great. He gave lots of tips on safety keeping that the priority of the day. Overall I would highly recommend this trip.
James was an awesome tour guide! We saw dolphins, manatee, tons of pelicans, and jellyfish! Super informative and fun.
We had a great time.it was super fun.Chris was very nice and knowledgeable about the different trees and birds.
Chris was a great tour guide. Very helpful, very laid back. Going through the mangrove tunnels was really a great experience.
James was a very personable young man with a tremendous knowledge of the surrounding area. Highly recommend this experience!
Amazing trip, so much fun even in the rain. 7 & 9 year old loved it! Caught jellyfish and saw dolphins and a bunch of pelicans diving into the water. Mangroves were beautiful and our tour guide James was great!
We had a great time during the tour. Although we didn't get to see any dolphins or manatees, our guide was excited to make the best time for us. The landscape is beautiful too.
The water was calm and beautiful. Only 2 of us with Ian, he was a great guide. Was really hoping to see dolphins and manatees, saw a few fish flipping around, ran through a school of jelly fish and saw alot of birds. But no dolphins or manatees
James was an awesome tour guide. He knew so much about the wildlife. James was kind and polite. He was also very patient with us as we were first time kayakers. At one point he stopped to get some loose fishing line caught in the mangroves. I knew he truly cared about keeping the environment safe for the wildlife.
The tour with James and his crew was a great time. James was very knowledgeable of the ecosystem on the river. It was great to see dolphins and the backside of a manatee. The mangrove tunnels were really interesting. it was a great experience, and I highly recommend It.
IAN was a great guide for us. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. This was our first time kayaking and it was something we’ll remember forever as a family. This is a must do if you’re in the cocoa beach area. Thank you IAN.
James was a great guide! We were able to see manatees up close, and mangrove tunnels were beautiful. Highly recommend this tour!
James was a great guide. We had an amazing time. Beautiful scenery, great equipment, wonderful pictures. James took pictures throughout the tour and airdropped them to us after. So nice!!!
Our guide was very knowledgeable and patient. Even though we didn’t see any manatee, he pointed out several other animals.
James was such an amazing tour guide! He made sure we all got to experience everything this tour had to offer, plus a good amount of laughs. If you’re wanting to look for some wildlife with fun people, I would definitely recommend this tour.
Kayaking Thousand Island’s Mangroves was such a wonderful experience! Spotted so many birds and fish plus manatee, dolphins and jellyfish ! James was so knowledgeable about the biodiversity and kept us entertained! Thank you James and @cocoakayaking for this great experience!
James was an awesome guide and taught us interesting facts about the area. I especially enjoyed going through the mangrove tunnels and seeing dolphins, crabs, fish, and birds!
James was an excellent guide. Very informative and was able to capture every moment. Great wildlife experience. Would highly recommend to friends and family.
Ian was an excellent guide! He answered questions well and was always adding interesting information and sharing the knowledge he has. We really enjoyed our trip! Very convenient and well done.
What a wonderful tour I had with James! He was extremely knowledgeable about the lagoon and all forms of life that live there. I came away with a new appreciation and understanding for the Mangrove habitat. Cocoa Kayaking did an outstanding job making sure I was able able to get on the only tour that would work with my limited availability.
Ian was a friendly incompetent guide, the weather was beautiful and the tunnels were amazingly complex. It was a fun adventure
James was wonderful. Really enjoyed the experience. We booked last minute and I am very glad that we did. I was mostly hoping to see manatees and even though we did not, going through the mangroves may have been my favorite part. 10/10 recommend.
I would rate this tour 5 out of 5. James was very knowledgeable and made our time very fun. We even saw a huge manatee almost on someone back lawn. He was eatting the grass.
James was a great tour guide. Had lots of interesting facts, and was able to show all that was promised. Like his favorite word, James was “Outstanding” !
Title encapsulates our trek. Memories were made as our guides Mark and Cam put us on wildlife. Just do it, you’ll be glad.
