Best kayak tour we’ve ever been on hands down! Our guide Chris was great! Personable, knowledgable, and great with our kids. Saw dolphin, manatees, and comb jellies. Mangrove tunnels were fun.

This trip was quite nice & relaxing. It was my first time Kayaking. The guide was knowledgeable & helpful. Unfortunately it was too late in the year for algae but we did see/catch & release some. Would recommend. Still fun despite the lack of algae

This was a fun nighttime kayak trip where we saw bioluminescent comb jellies & plankton. Dillon was an awesome guide!

Amazing tour! Our tour guide Logan was awesome! He made the tour so much fun, he was very informative. I would definitely book a tour again with Logan and recommend to friends! BOOK THIS TOUR!!!!!!

We had a great time with our guide Logan. Our 14 and 8 year old loved timing out our visit with the rocket launch and getting to swim off the sandbar. I have already recommended this trip to three families for the long weekend since returning less than 48 hours ago. The bioluminescence in the Indian River is a Florida treasure…go for sure!

What a wonderful time we had with Captain Michael Knecht on our kayaking trip! We booked the 10:30pm time and it was perfect. Cocoa Kayaking was the only outfit that could accommodate our teens, little ones, and the higher weights of some of our adult family. Captain Knecht was very friendly and most of all made the kids comfortable. He had bug lotion to put on, even though we had got some already, had water guns for the kids, glow sticks, and nets. Life jackets fit perfectly and most of all under his guidance we felt very safe and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend booking with this company and asking for Captain Knecht to do your tour. We spent 2 weeks at the beach and all the kids agree this was their favorite thing they did. If in doubt...just book it! You will not be disappointed. Chose the 1030 tour so you get to see the best! What a great experience! Thank you!!

This was an amazing experience. Tom was our guide and was the absolute best. He took time to share his knowledge of the sea life and wildlife. My sons had an experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend this tour. And, more than that, I recommend Cocoa Kayaking. You will definitely not be disappointed!!!!

This was a once in a lifetime activity for us. I have to admit we were a little nervous to start our night tour on the water with sharks, gators and other wildlife around but all my doubts were taken away by Tom. He’s a very enthousiastic, relaxed and interesting guide. He’s very approachable, has a lot of interesting knowledge about the area and encourages your enthusiasm throughout the trip. He knew great spots to see the full on bioluminescence effect which was magical. Don’t skip on this, just go for it, you won’t regret it!

Perfect activity for anyone! Totally worth every penny. We were able to see the sunset, paddle around freely while still having a tour guide giving fun facts and telling us the best places to venture. Randy, our tour guide, was the best!!! When it got dark, the bioluminescent jellyfish were INSANE. Not only was there far more than I expected but much brighter than I imagined as well. Easy paddling for anyone to be able to do, we had all ages there!
