Florida Manatee Kayak Encounter 3 hr

Paddle into Florida’s Manatee Capital for a chance to see manatees moving through their natural habitat. From a kayak, you can watch these gentle animals rest, feed, and swim just beyond the water’s surface.

The area’s seven rivers and waterways are estimated to host between 1,200 and 1,800 manatees throughout the year, representing more than 25% of Florida’s manatee population. Your 180-minute Manatee Kayak Encounter offers time on the water to look for them in their natural surroundings. Kayaks, paddles, and life jackets are provided, and an English-speaking guide leads the experience.

Meet your guide beside the kayak launch at the boat ramp at the end of County Road 480. Set out for a memorable look at Florida’s waterways and the manatees that call them home. Book your Florida Manatee Kayak Encounter and experience this remarkable wildlife habitat from the water.
