Paddle through Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge on a guided kayak tour in search of manatees, dolphins, and native Florida wildlife.

About this tour

Paddle into the quiet waters of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, where manatees gather in their natural habitat. This two-hour Titusville Manatee and Dolphin Kayak Tour offers a close look at Florida wildlife from the water, with a professional guide leading the way.

Glide through the manatees’ favorite resting areas and watch these gentle sea cows on their own terms. They may approach kayaks, but the experience is designed around observing without disturbing their natural behavior. Keep an eye out for dolphins fishing nearby, along with pelicans, osprey, roseate spoonbills, horseshoe crabs, and, occasionally, an alligator. Your kayak, paddle, and PFD are provided, so you can focus on the scenery and wildlife.

Bring clothes that can get wet, water-friendly footwear, and drinking water; a towel and change of clothes can wait in your car. Choose the Titusville Manatee and Dolphin Kayak Tour for a guided wildlife outing that trades busy attractions for a peaceful view of Florida’s refuge waterways.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.92 from 231 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Cocoa Beach
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.5. Top 18% in Cocoa Beach means it ranks in the top 18% of tours in Cocoa Beach by this score.
