Excellent experience with knowledgeable and professional guide - Family of four, including two older teens/young adult children, all had an amazing time on the water with Brian as our guide. Saw lots of manatees, dolphins, birds, alligators, crab, and so much more. We were the only family in his group so we were able to spend a little more time in different areas seeing and learning about so much of the area wildlife. Tour lasted about two hours. Kayak, life jacket and paddle all in good condition and easy to use. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Fun, informative kayak guided trip to view manatees - My friend and I had a fun and informative kayak trip yesterday with our guide, Brian from Florida Adventurer Inc. Brian was friendly, professional and engaging. He answered my many questions about manatees and even forwarded photos to us that he took of some of the wildlife we saw on the trip (yes, we saw manatees!). He also shared information about the history of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge area which is a beautiful pristine natural habitat area where one can view manatees, alligators and dolphins, as well as many different species of birds. This was our third time with Florida Adventurer and we will no doubt book with them again next year. I highly recommend this trip for a safe, fun and informative kayak tour on the water.

Beautiful kayak trip! - Javier was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and a very enthusiastic guide. I would recommend this experience for a family trip. You get to see dolphins, manatees, and maybe sting rays! We also got to see some flamingos.

Great guide and amazing experience - We had so much fun on our manatee and dolphin tour with Brian as our guide. He was so knowledgeable and his passion for nature and conservation really shined through. We saw wildlife at every turn and got to spend a peaceful beautiful day up close enjoying the manatees, dolphins, and various other animals in their natural habitat. We would highly recommend this tour!

Best kayak tour you will go on - We have been on hundreds of kayaking tours around the world, yet by far this was the best. Our guide was knowledgeable and kind. He had the best spots ready to show us. I have never seen so many manatees close up, let alone dolphins.
