Loads of Manatees / small group - Very professional guide (Brian) that helped us navigate some weather to start. Very close to area with several manatees and other wildlife. Small personal feel (was only wife and I so personal tour). Good equipment and experience. Very good value and overall tour.

Beautiful area; great guide; you won't regret booking! - What a wonderful tour & wildlife experience! Brian was a fabulous guide - his appreciation of FL wildlife and natural areas was clear, and we appreciated how generously he shared his knowledge with us and our two kiddos (10 & 12). His knowledge combined with a bit of good 'ole luck resulted in us seeing flamingos, roseate spoonbills, manatees, an alligator, dolphins, comb jellies, and more! This was probably the best guided nature tour I've been on. Thank you to Brian for the memories it created for our family.

Great tour with Brian - We had the best morning with tour guide Brian. Our group had 6 kids in it and he was amazing with the kids and made it such a special and unique experience for them- never rushing them and answer all their questions. We saw so many manatees and 2 gators and Brain taught them so much about them. He also gave the kids nets and they caught jellyfish and hermit crabs. The kids loved it. My 9yr old said “this was totally worth getting up at 6:30am for!”. There’s not a better endorsement than that.

Excellent experience with knowledgeable and professional guide - Family of four, including two older teens/young adult children, all had an amazing time on the water with Brian as our guide. Saw lots of manatees, dolphins, birds, alligators, crab, and so much more. We were the only family in his group so we were able to spend a little more time in different areas seeing and learning about so much of the area wildlife. Tour lasted about two hours. Kayak, life jacket and paddle all in good condition and easy to use. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Fun, informative kayak guided trip to view manatees - My friend and I had a fun and informative kayak trip yesterday with our guide, Brian from Florida Adventurer Inc. Brian was friendly, professional and engaging. He answered my many questions about manatees and even forwarded photos to us that he took of some of the wildlife we saw on the trip (yes, we saw manatees!). He also shared information about the history of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge area which is a beautiful pristine natural habitat area where one can view manatees, alligators and dolphins, as well as many different species of birds. This was our third time with Florida Adventurer and we will no doubt book with them again next year. I highly recommend this trip for a safe, fun and informative kayak tour on the water.

Not the way to run a business - We were late because the GPS link provided did not work despite trying several ways on the recommended search engine. In the end the water was too choppy to kayak anyway. We were offered a ‘rain check’. We asked for new dates and they refused. We tried to explain that the GPS signal did not work and were basically shut down by the tour operator using capitals saying NO ONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. He was rude, unapologetic and very unprofessional. He took $113 of our money. We weren’t even given the benefit of the doubt. This is not the way to run a business. I will await the expected rude reply now.
