Sunset / bioluminescence Tour - We started off getting to see some manatees right away! A momma and her baby 🩵 once we went out to the river it was the perfect time to watch the sun go down and dolphins were fishing right in front of us! As it got darker we caught a few jellies that glow and when it got all the way dark the waters beneath us begun to glow! It looked like little stars in our hands. Splashing around with our paddles was amazing! Would definitely do it again! Thank you Calypso kayaking and Jason thank you for giving a trip we will always remember!

Manatees, dolphins and a Space X Launch! - Kenny was such a great tour guide!! We got to see so much wildlife, manatees, dolphins, birds, jelly fish, the beautiful sunset and secluded beach! We also were lucky enough to witness a space X launch 🚀! So so cool! I would highly recommend booking with calypso when deciding to do a kayak tour. I can’t wait to come back and do this again!

Beautiful kayak trip! - So glad we did this while in Florida! Our tour guide was Jason and he was so knowledgeable about the waters and the wildlife in and around. We got to see a manatee as well as some dolphins, a stingray, and plenty of birds. The views of the sunset from the island Jason took us to were stunning. Definitely would recommend this stop on your trip :)

10/10 recommend! - We spent quality time in Manatee cove and it did not disappoint! - so many manatee that we could observe, it was incredible! We learned a lot about the animal life and the mangrove tree “islands” saw several species of birds - watched a pelican dive bomb into the water, multitudes of jumping fish, a sea Ray when we stopped of at the island - along with other aquatic brackish creatures and dolphins on the way back. Oh yes - we also watched a glorious sunset!! 10/10 recommend!!

Highly recommended - Great thanks to our guide, Erin, for bringing us out onto the lagoon for a wonderful tour. Erin is patient and knowledgeable on the wildlife and nature environment. It was a pleasure watching a group of dolphins swimming in the glorious sunset, or a rare pink heron flying across the sky. Children had fun kayaking and said it was like exploring "uncharted" waters. This was an unforgettable experience for everyone to treasure and remember.

Amazing Sunset Dolphin Kayaking Tour!!! - We did the two hour sunset kayaking tour with Adrena and had a wonderful time! We saw a large variety of birds and many dolphins. Adrena is very knowledgeable and experienced and made the tour very enjoyable. We have been on many kayaking eco tours and this was by far the best! We HIGHLY recommend Adrena and Calypso Kayaking Tours!!!
