Manatee Discovery Tour
Thereâs something magical about being on the water⊠Whether itâs the heart-pounding excitement of spotting a massive manatee gliding just beneath your kayak, the quiet wonder of watching hundreds gather in the crystal-clear spring, or the pure joy of seeing one surface beside you with a gentle puff of air. With calm, scenic waters and Floridaâs incredible wildlife all around, youâll feel the warmth of the sun on your skin as alligators bask lazily on the banks, hear the distant cry of an osprey soaring overhead, and breathe in the fresh, earthy scent of towering cypress trees. Whether you're here for the thrill of a once-in-a-lifetime manatee encounter or the peaceful escape into natureâs beauty, youâll leave with a deep sense of wonderâand memories to last a lifetime. <p style="margin-top:40px;padding:10px;background-color:#f9f9f9;text-align:center"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:18px;display:block;margin-bottom:5px;">Important...</span>Due to high demand and small group sizes, our tours sell out quickly.

Magic After Dark Bioluminescence Kayak Tour
Get ready to slip into a kayak and leave the buzz of the city behind as you paddle into the stillness of a moonlit lagoon, where every stroke through the water sets off an electric blue-green glow beneath you. The salty air carries the faint scent of warm sea grass and mangroves, while the soft splash of your paddle and the distant calls of night herons create a soundtrack thatâs both peaceful and wild. As fish dart beneath your boat, they leave glowing trails, and if youâre lucky, a manatee or dolphin may stir the water with a burst of light. You'll feel the warm breeze on your face, the cool splash of water on your hands, and an overwhelming sense of wonder and calm as nature puts on a show like no other. It's a truly unforgettable experienceâone that stirs your senses, quiets your mind, and leaves you glowing inside and out. <p style="margin-top:40px;text-align:center;padding:20px;background-color:#e4fbff60;"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:20px;line-height:1.2;display:block;margin-bottom:5px;">đ Bioluminescence Guaranteed â Only with Us.

Emerald Cut Kayak Adventure
This crystal clear run is a paddle into the past, through land still as it was when the Timucuan tribes inhabited the area. Truly emerald in color this section of Rock Springs Run is a breathtaking natural beauty. It winds through lush jungle-like nature, sand pine scrub, and pine flatwoods. The area is rich in wildlife and it is possible to see turtles, alligators, river otters, white-tailed deer, black bears, fish, a variety of birds, and more. This is an out-and-back paddle. The first part your guide will lead you upstream over and under trees and through the twists and turns of the river until you reach the bridge at Kelle Park. At this point, you will have a chance to jump into the crystal clear river to play and/or to refresh yourself. Afterward, we let the current take us back to the launch point. <p style="margin-top:40px;padding:10px;background-color:#f9f9f9;text-align:center"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:18px;display:block;margin-bottom:5px;">Important...</span>Due to high demand and small group sizes, our tours sell out quickly.

TJ was a great guide. He sees everything and points it out. We saw manatees and alligators. Fish and birds and he was able to tell us something about all of them. A really lovely morning!

TJ took us on an amazing adventure this morning! Our tour to find Manatee was a success even though we are out of season, so kudos to TJ for his patience and expertise. The paddle into the spring to see the big hole was spectacular too. All in all a solid 5*, highly recommend the adventure and requesting TJ! We saw alligators, manatee, a plethora of different fish, great blue heron, little heron, osprey, turkey, vultures⊠and a rooster!

This was a great experience. We were lucky to have Astrid all to ourselves and she was very knowledgeable. It wasnât too difficult to get to grips with the kayaking and the lower river was very peaceful. Would recommend
