Embark on a captivating journey and discover the best activities in Cocoa Beach with our unique Manatee, Sunset and Bioluminescence Tour. This unforgettable three-hour experience allows you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty and diverse wildlife of Florida's Space Coast. Get ready to launch your kayak and encounter gentle manatees, spectacular sunsets, and magical bioluminescence all in one incredible adventure along the water.
Experience everything the wildlife refuge has to offer with three distinct experiences packed into one three-hour tour! Launch your kayak in the daylight and surround yourself with Florida’s most-loved endangered species, West Indian Manatees! Sit back while the gentle giants roll, sniff, and nuzzle all around you. Dolphins are also active this time of day as they wrangle their dinner in the adjacent cove.
Next, head out to Bird Island, a federally protected rookery, to watch hundreds of birds soar in overhead. Ibis, herons, egrets, pelicans, cormorants, and roseate spoonbills and more all glide in their flocks to nest for the night. Be lulled into serenity by the gently rocking kayak as the sun descends for the night in the pinks, oranges, and reds of sunset.
Finally, the tour culminates in the season’s bioluminescent experience, whether it be summer bioluminescence, winter comb jelly bioluminescence, or a star-studded moonlit sky.
