Manatee & Dolphin Encounter Kayak Tour

Highlights / General details

We regularly have Manatee and Dolphin sightings throughout much of the year, but especially from April through October for manatees. This two hour tour is on the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, east of Titusville, Florida. The Indian River Lagoon is very beautiful and is on one of the most diverse estuaries in North America. Make contact with Florida's most endangered species, the West Indian Manatee. We also regularly see bottle nosed dolphin, alligator (from a distance) and many wading birds.
