Highlights
-
Manatee Cove Park - During your kayak tour your guide tell you a about area and the plants and wildlife in the area. You might see manatees with an 80 percent chance of dolphin. We like to stop at an island and search for shells ending with Florida sunset. This is a great way to end your day.
Manatee are migrating this time of year, making it hard to find them. Low chance of seeing Manatee. 01/13/2022

Manatees, dolphins and a Space X Launch! - Kenny was such a great tour guide!! We got to see so much wildlife, manatees, dolphins, birds, jelly fish, the beautiful sunset and secluded beach! We also were lucky enough to witness a space X launch 🚀! So so cool! I would highly recommend booking with calypso when deciding to do a kayak tour. I can’t wait to come back and do this again!

Beautiful kayak trip! - So glad we did this while in Florida! Our tour guide was Jason and he was so knowledgeable about the waters and the wildlife in and around. We got to see a manatee as well as some dolphins, a stingray, and plenty of birds. The views of the sunset from the island Jason took us to were stunning. Definitely would recommend this stop on your trip :)

10/10 recommend! - We spent quality time in Manatee cove and it did not disappoint! - so many manatee that we could observe, it was incredible! We learned a lot about the animal life and the mangrove tree “islands” saw several species of birds - watched a pelican dive bomb into the water, multitudes of jumping fish, a sea Ray when we stopped of at the island - along with other aquatic brackish creatures and dolphins on the way back. Oh yes - we also watched a glorious sunset!! 10/10 recommend!!

Highly recommended - Great thanks to our guide, Erin, for bringing us out onto the lagoon for a wonderful tour. Erin is patient and knowledgeable on the wildlife and nature environment. It was a pleasure watching a group of dolphins swimming in the glorious sunset, or a rare pink heron flying across the sky. Children had fun kayaking and said it was like exploring "uncharted" waters. This was an unforgettable experience for everyone to treasure and remember.

Amazing Sunset Dolphin Kayaking Tour!!! - We did the two hour sunset kayaking tour with Adrena and had a wonderful time! We saw a large variety of birds and many dolphins. Adrena is very knowledgeable and experienced and made the tour very enjoyable. We have been on many kayaking eco tours and this was by far the best! We HIGHLY recommend Adrena and Calypso Kayaking Tours!!!

An Experience to Remember! - I went as part of a group of teachers who were at Kennedy Space Center for the week. We booked a 7-10 kayaking tour, and it did not disappoint! Getting into the clear kayaks, we saw manatees and mangroves. After some quick instructions the guide led us out to a small island for an ecotour. We found horseshoe crabs, stingrays, small fish, crabs, snails, and even a comb jellyfish. It was amazing and our guide encouraged us to wander and look at the flora and fauna of the area as he gave info and answered questions. After the sunset, we paddled through a small canal and were able to see the bioluminescence while we paddled. The blue water was beautiful! I would highly recommend this tour.
