Dolphin & Manatee Kayaking Tour in Orlando Area

Highlights

  • See the scenic Indian River estuary

  • Great chance to photograph the manatees

  • Visit the manatees’ hangout spots to observe their natural behavior

Summary

Make your way to a launch site near the Indian River, where you’ll meet the kayak guide for a short safety briefing. Push off into the gentle current, watching for some of the manatees that are native to Florida’s Atlantic Coast. The tour is designed to prevent any harm to the manatees, with no touching allowed, but you’ll have plenty of time to shoot memorable photos of the slow-moving mammals. Keep an eye out for a splash or spray as the manatees come up for air, and learn about the lives and habits of Florida’s remarkable manatees before returning to shore.
