Cancelled due to weather.

Weather caused the outing to be cancelled by the tour group. I'm currently waiting for a refund that I was told could take a few more day. I gave 3 stars because there was no N/A.

Ok tour, ok guide

We didn’t see any manatees, but we were aware of that. The kayak ride was simply in a cove, then out a little ways on the Indian River. There wasn’t anything special about this tour.

Operator response

Some days are more memorable than others. This day was a slow day for viewing wildlife.

We expected more.....

We were a bit disappointed, 9/2/2025......no manatee, no dolphin sightings all for $188......what more can I say? When we did get back to the ship, we watched 3 dolphins play from our balcony.

Amazing experience

An amazing experience! Our guide’s , Adrena, knowledge about the animals, mammals, and all the creatures that live in the causeway was extensive. So many manatees, a few dolphins, pelicans, egrets, just an amazing, personalized experience! Definitely recommend. 4/25.

Incredible trip!!

We had an amazing time on this trip! We saw lots of manatees and dolphins and we loved every minute of our trip. Our guide was very easy going and let us follow where the dolphins and wasn’t in a hurry. He was also very knowledgeable and showed us spider crabs, horseshoe crabs, puffer fish and sting rays! We would absolutely do this trip again next time we are in FL. I 100% recommend taking this trip!!!

Awesome experience

We did this as part of a Royal Caribbean cruise and it was awesome. The manatee's were right there with us. Seeing all the other wildlife was awesome. Our guide, "Typical Florida Man" was awesome. Would highly recommend them!

Highly Recommend!

Adrena was our guide and she was lovely! Very knowledgeable, friendly and patient (we were late, sorry Adrena!). She showed us so much more wildlife than expected and explained it all in detail. She was also very respectful of the wildlife and their ecosystem. Thanks Adrena and Calypso!
