Highlights
  • Haulover Canal Kayak Launch - Paddle through the canals and keep your eyes open for playful dolphins and gentle manatees who call these waters home. Manatees are known as the gentle giants of the sea, and they are curious creatures who love to come up to kayakers for a closer look! You may even be able to pet one. Dolphins are equally playful and often swim right by your kayak. You might even get the chance to witness the Bottlenose Dolphin in the act of predation.

Our tour guides are wildlife experts and can point out each creature and teach you a little something along the way. Florida-Adventurer is a locally owned and operated company that offers multiple launch times, once in a lifetime experiences, and small group intimate excursions.

See nature up close with our Manatee and Dolphin Kayaking Tour. Our guides know the right places to watch dolphins preying on baitfish, and it’s not uncommon to witness these resident dolphins breach the water’s surface. This incredible sight is a true testament to the natural beauty and wonder of the Florida Space coast.

This area is one of the most bio diverse ecosystems in the northern hemisphere! Paddle your way through beauty and wonder.

Amazing family experience amongst so many manatees! - We had a great time on a mid-morning kayak with our 2 teenage boys. Clint was an excellent guide, with deep knowledge of the different animals and vegetation in the area. Much to our surprise, we were able to get up close to A LOT of manatees! 👌 We also saw dolphins and lots of different birds. Would highly recommend as a remedy to days out at the theme parks.

Immersed in nature! - Beautiful and peaceful day on the water. Our guide, Clint, was quick to point out lots of wildlife from birds soaring overhead to manatees and dolphin swimming next to you. He was very knowledgeable and informative of the animals we saw. I highly recommend this experience of seeing what “old Florida” was like. Go early in the morning, wear sunscreen and bug repellent. It will help you enjoy the adventure. Would do it again!
