Manatee Discovery Anna Maria Island

Fun couple of hours kayaking the bay and walking the beach/shoreline looking for manatees and dolphins. Kinsey was a great guide, very informative and easy going. We spotted a baby dolphin learning to hunt with its mother as well as a few manatees. Even without the wildlife, the kayaking alone was worth the money. 10/10 would recommend.

Andrew and Allie were fantastic tour guides. We saw a manatee, several dolphins, and cool sea creatures. Both were really knowledgeable about the ecosystem. The best part was swimming at the sandbar. My whole family really enjoyed this, and would love to do it again.

I made the best decision to go with this tour! Easy to navigate, very clear instructions, and Kinsey is an amazing tour guide. I learned so much about the wildlife and you can tell Kinsey loves the community in Anna Maria Island. We saw so many manatees and got to take some good breaks to rest and relax. If I’m back here again I know who I’m calling to book with for a tour.

Great experience. Easy access, quality kayaks and paddles, knowledge guide, and great site. We saw 17 Manatee and had an excellent time. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our active adventure on the water with Kinsey and Kai. Kinsey has great energy, a love for nature and is passionate about his island. He was welcoming and informative and guided us to the marine life. We had great luck with dolphins but the manatee were not as present that morn. Still a nice experience on the water.

Amazing!!! What an awesome experience for our family. The kayaking was a little more difficult than we expected but being able to see the manatees so close was all worth it. My 11 year old was able to do it in her own kayak as well. We would definitely recommend this to any family looking for a fun adventure!! The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire experience!

We had an amazing time on the Manatee Discovery tour with Andrew and Jackson! They were friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and made the entire experience fun from start to finish. We were lucky enough to see multiple manatees (and they were absolutely adorable!), dolphins, a bonnethead shark, a snail, and several spider crabs. We also enjoyed a stop at the beautiful sandbar, which was a highlight of the trip. One especially memorable moment was watching Andrew and Jackson help rescue a bird that had become tangled in fishing line. It was clear how much they care about the local wildlife and environment. To top it all off, they shared great videos and photos from the tour, which allowed us to relive the experience afterward. The tour was fun, educational, and full of unforgettable wildlife encounters. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Andrew and Jackson, for a fantastic experience!

The trip was super fun! We saw manatees and dolphins, which is great luck! I liked how I got a little exercise in. The tour guides, Andrew and Jackson, were so nice and helpful. They gave me lots of information about a few things, like manatees and the surroundings. They also helped me when I didn’t know how to really work the paddle, since i’m honestly just starting out. I think it was super cool to see all the animals. One of the manatees swam right up to my boat, and it was so cute! The fee wasn’t too bad either. Only around two hundred for my family of four. It’s definitely a great experience to go through with your family! The trip was only around three hours, something I can definitely do with. Spends about my entire morning unless I wake up early, and then when we’re done, I can go straight to lunch! On top of everything, you’re almost guaranteed to see a manatee, it’s awesome! My trip was amazing overall, and I definitely recommend it.

Kinsey was fantastic. Knowledgeable, fun, witty , and all around great guide.
