バージニアキー発のマナティーシーズンガイド付きパドルツアー

Group kayak tour for two people with terrific guide, Andy

It was such a good time! There were 6 people total including our guide! Small enough to ask questions and have a really great time! Bring water and wear lots of sunscreen.

Our tour with Parker was unbelievable - we haven’t stopped talking about it since! Parker was so welcoming and personable, giving us so much information about Miami, the different species and invasive species and even the process of how a mangrove is formed. We were so lucky to see dolphins, manatees and a swimming iguana on our tour. We were even luckier to be the only two people booked onto the tour making it even more special! Definitely a morning to remember and a huge thank you to Parker for making the whole experience peaceful and memorable!

Our family had an absolutely incredible time on the tour "Manatee Season Guided Paddle Tour from Virginia Key". If you are looking for a quiet, authentic interaction with nature, I cannot recommend this tour enough. The highlight was, without a doubt, the manatees. We were lucky enough to see them at a very close distance, including a beautiful mother and calf pair. It was a truly moving experience to see such peaceful creatures in their natural habitat, along with various local bird species. As a parent, I was a bit nervous because it was the first time my two boys (ages 8 and 11) were paddling by themselves. However, the water was perfectly calm with no waves, making it feel very safe for them. Our guide was a true gentleman and a wonderful person. He was incredibly patient and helpful with the kids, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and confident throughout the journey. His expertise and kind demeanor really made the trip special for us. A few tips for future travelers: Perfect for Beginners: Don't worry if your children haven't paddled before; the conditions here are very forgiving. Bring a Waterproof Phone Case: You’ll definitely want to capture photos of the manatees if they come close! Respect the Quiet: The best way to see the wildlife is to stay calm and quiet, which this tour facilitates perfectly. Overall, it was a 5-star experience for our family. We left with great memories and a new appreciation for Miami's local ecosystem.

Our guide, Parker, was nice and knowledgeable. The equipment was fine. We did see two manatees, but due to the clarity of the , we didn’t see them really well. There were other animals that we also saw, like iguanas and a snook. The part that rubbed me a little wrong was that Parker took a bunch of photos. He said that we didn’t need to worry photos because he was taking them. I sort of expected to receive them in our email, but there was nothing. I wish my wife I had taken photos of our own.

Our tour guide Parker gave extensive information about the fauna and flora and took a lot of time for us. Alongside the manatee, he was a highlight of the tour. Thank you very much

I joined because I wanted to see the manatee. The manatee is said to come up to the surface on a clear and warm day. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and chilly, so all I could see was shadows. However, the guide asked me if I wanted to go out to sea or stay in the bay, and I was able to try manatee watching until the end. Thank you for the photo. It is recommended to remove insects when participating. There were quite a few mosquitoes.

First of all I was an hour late and the tour guide caught me up like I never missed anything. The area is beautiful and tour guide was very knowable. I didn’t seem rushed at all, it was a great experience. I felt like a kid when I see the big manatee. Haha. Definitely recommend.

Amazing Tomas our guide was an true expert, he understood nature and that we just wanted to see the manatee in their own surroundings just gentle slow paced enjoying watching these magnificent creatures in their homes

Andy was an incredible guide! We were all kayak amateurs and he was super helpful, patient, friendly, and funny. Had an absolute blast, stunningly beautiful spot on earth and we got a ton of face time with manatees! Don’t miss it
