Aerin provides a great tour - we saw dolphins and many birds - plus a unique paddle through mangrove tunnels! - Aerin was a fantastic guide - exploring was great fun and she contextualized what we saw and experienced… fun, eye opening, and educational at once. Also provided some gear like bug spray that was very useful. She’s funny too! Highly recommend!

Highly recommended - The tour is recommended for everyone. Small or large. What you get here is top. Our guide Cameron (graduated biologist) could be holed with questions about the flora and fauna. We were even lucky enough to see sea bolds.

Manatee heaven - We went on the excursion with our guide Cameron. He was so knowledgeable and had so much care for the wildlife. He was also amazing with our family, from my inability to steer a kayak to our endless questions. We were warned to stay a distance from the manatee to protect them, but three got curious and came to look at the Kayak my husband and I had. It was such an amazing experience. Would 100% do it again.

Learned so much & had a blast! - We had a great experience on our tour with Aerin! She was so knowledgeable and great at sharing fun facts about the animals we saw and the habitat of the mangroves. We learned a ton! My favorite parts of the tour were seeing dolphins and manatees from just feet away, and kayaking through the mangrove tunnel. Would 100% recommend while in Cocoa Beach!!
