Great Experience! - Great experience! Our guide, James, was funny and knowledgeable. He made the trip a lot of fun. We saw 6 manatees and other wild life too. There was a small group, which made it easier to stay close to James and hear him. It was a beautiful area and kayaking was a great way to see it!

A must... - Our guide was super friendly. Could explain and tell us a lot. It was a great experience. We saw dolphins, manatees and alligators. Of course, much more. I highly recommend it. The kids were thrilled.

Great for all ages - Every year that we go to Melbourne, we plan a kayaking trip with Cocoa Kayaking. (We did try another company 1 time, but not even close in comparison). Great for the family, fun and educational - who would'a thought.

Amazing place where you meet the Manatees, tunnel through the mangroves and experience God’s creations all around you. - From booking my tour with Cricket (yes, that’s there name) who is so welcoming to kayaking with Catfish Chris as my tour guide was the best part of my trip to Cocoa Beach. Chris was funny, extremely knowledgeable and so much fun to hang around and you felt like you made a lifelong friends. The group was small which made the tour so personal. We shared our stories, our sense of humor and laughed a lot. At the end, we even took a group picture with all the kayakers. Group included people from Germany, Canada, New York, Washington State and this native Floridian who now lives in Virginia!

Want to do it again! - Such a good kayak trip ! Spotted a manatee and went through the tight mangrove tunnels. When I got out the tunnels I spotted a dolphin and it came right under my kayak. Such a good experience !
