    Cocoa Kayaking delivers consistently exceptional mangrove tunnel tours with guides who clearly love what they do. The booking process is remarkably smooth, with online waivers and helpful staff like Genevieve making everything easy from the start. Once you're on the water, you'll understand why people keep coming back—the mangrove tunnels themselves are stunning, and wildlife encounters with manatees and dolphins are incredibly common, often happening just feet from your kayak. The guides are the real stars here. James (also known as "Turtle"), Ian, Captain Mike, Emily, and Noah each get glowing praise for being knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely engaged with their groups. They're skilled at spotting wildlife that you'd miss on your own, from comb jellies to manatees surfacing right beside kayaks. Even experienced kayakers mention that going with a guide made all the difference in experiencing the Banana River Lagoon. They take photos during the tour and send them afterward, handle all the logistics, and adjust the pace to suit everyone from three-year-olds to seasoned paddlers. Whether you're visiting from a cruise ship or planning a family outing, this operation has the experience and local knowledge to make it memorable.

    I booked the Thousand Islands Mangrove Tunnel Kayak Tour online and the process of booking from start to finish went smoothly. I was able to sign the waiver immediately after my online payment, which made the check-in at the time of the tour easy. James and Jake were the perfect tour guide pairing. They were friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. They made sure our group had an awesome experience. The weather was great. The mangrove tunnel was exquisite. I thoroughly enjoyed my time out on the water today and highly recommend Cocoa Kayaking.
