Paddle Board Adventure - Kevin lead my parents and I around the Indian River Lagoon on the search for all kinds of wildlife. We saw huge birds and plenty of dolphins. The wind had the manatees hiding beneath the water, but we saw plenty of other animal friends. The weather was wonderful and is a fun paddle boarding/kayaking experience overall. Kevin was a wonderful guide. Really cool and informative.

Great time, great views, worth the cost - This was an awesome experience. Captain Bundow is a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We got to see a manatee, dolphins, and other wildlife. We also learned a lot about Merritt Island and the neighboring communities. The tour ran for 2 hours as advertised. The cost to do this is reasonable.

Quite a GREAT morning tour! - Prior to leaving this morning we received our text from Jack, making sure we knew where to meet and also that all our waivers were signed! Once arriving at MM48 on 520W, he was preparing our kayaks. Once everyone arrived we set off. First thing we saw were manatees frolicking around, as it is mating season! These wonderful creatures were everywhere today! Next we saw a few dolphin feeding, evident by all the birds flying near them. The Indian River Lagoon contains several critical, protected bird islands, and we kayaked over to one of them! I finally sae a few Spoonbills, which I have wanted to see in the wild forever! So cool! We looped the party island and sandbar area, taking a brief break due to increased winds. This area is used highly on the weekends with boaters! Lastly we toured the other side of Bird Island (where we saw so many different species) prior to heading back in! Jack even pointed out a huge Manta Ray to us! Thanks Jack for a wonderful, wildlife filled morning! It was quite an amazing tour!! was an amazing guide this morning!
