Paddle the North Indian River Lagoon with a local guide and look for dolphins, sea turtles, stingrays, and other wildlife.

About this tour

Paddle into the North Indian River Lagoon on an Indian River Shores Dolphin and Wildlife Kayak Tour, where calm waters and open skies set the scene for a close look at coastal wildlife. With a local guide leading the way, you may spot dolphins, aquatic birds, stingrays, and sea turtles, with the occasional manatee appearing along the route.

The 90-minute outing covers about 1.5 miles and returns to its starting point. Depending on conditions and the group, the tour may pause at an island, giving you a chance to stretch your legs or play in the water. Bring water shoes if you plan to get in. Kayaks, paddles, life vests, whistles, and dry bags for small essentials are provided. Tours are limited to 6 kayaks and require at least 2 guests, making this a small-group way to explore the lagoon. Tandem kayaks can be requested with two single purchases.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 Daytona 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 7.1.
