Highlights
  • 5215 NE 7th Ave - I’ll give you a brief introduction on the basics of paddle boarding and kayaking before we head out onto the water to explore a lush mangrove jungle. As we wind our way through narrow canals, we’ll be on the lookout for all different types of wildlife including; manatees, iguanas, birds, crabs, fish, raccoons even possibly dolphins. We’ll explore the natural wonders of the area for a little while before stopping to relax, swim and enjoy a delicious fresh fruit snack and drinks . Including; watermelon, cantaloupe, banana.

Please keep in mind the manatees and dolphins we are spotting are wild animals roaming a large area. They are seen less often in the summer months. Don’t worry there will still be many beautiful plants and animals to see and learn about.

Additional Information

I’m going to provide a succinct tutorial on the fundamentals of paddleboarding and kayaking, after which we’ll venture onto the water to uncover a verdant mangrove jungle. We’ll navigate through slim channels, keeping an eye out for a variety of wildlife such as; manatees, iguanas, birds, crabs, fish, raccoons, and perhaps even dolphins. We’ll discover the area’s natural beauty for a few hours before heading into some mangrove tunnels to chill, swim, and partake in a tasty snack of fresh fruit and beverages. The fruit selection will include; watermelon, cantaloupe, and bananas. The drinks are all-inclusive and unlimited; you can enjoy beer, hard seltzers, and water. Once we’ve had our fill and everyone is set, we will make our way back to the shore. There’s never a rush. Be cognizant that the manatees and dolphins we are hoping to spot are free-ranging wild creatures. They tend to be less visible during the summer months. However, rest assured that there will still be an abundance of stunning flora and fauna to appreciate and learn about.

  • There is no bathroom available during the tour as we will be on a kayak/SUP. Bathrooms are available before and after tour.
  • The tour will go ahead whether or not there is rain, you will be notified if the tour is actually canceled by the time the tour begins.

Five stars for Sean! - 5 stars for Sean! He made our Nature & Island Exploration (found on Viator) on stand up paddle boards so easy going and more importantly, fun! I always appreciate when tour guides are more on the chill side, but still incredibly knowledgeable about the area and natural surroundings. The pace of our tour was perfect: a couple stops at small islands for rest, walking around or a quick dip. The highlight was seeing the mangroves because it’s such a cool, distinct natural area that’s a little cooler temp as well. July in Miami is so hot it’s not the month to see larger wildlife (manatees), which we knew to expect in advance, but we did see some iguanas, variety of crabs, starfish, and local birds. Sean brought a cooler of drinks and watermelon as a nice treat. This trip is a great activity that’s the perfect mix of relaxing, some exercise, nice views, and some learning about local wildlife.

Fun kayaking experience - Alejandra was wonderful... super informative. We saw lots of iguanas and birds.. unfortunately not the season for manatees. But watching the iguanas swim next to us while kayaking was an interesting experience. Thank you!
