Our Wildlife Tours
Dolphin Encounters
Experience the joy of watching bottlenose dolphins in their natural environment. These intelligent, playful mammals are frequently spotted in the waters of Estero Bay and surrounding areas. Our expert guides know the best locations where dolphins typically feed, play, and socialize.
During your tour, you might witness dolphins:
- Bow Riding: Swimming alongside your kayak, using the pressure wave created by your movement
- Feeding: Using coordinated hunting techniques to catch fish
- Socializing: Interacting with other dolphins in their pod
Our guides are knowledgeable about dolphin behavior and will share fascinating facts about these incredible marine mammals while ensuring we maintain a respectful distance that doesn't disturb their natural activities.
Manatee Viewing
The gentle manatees of Florida are one of our most treasured wildlife encounters. These peaceful herbivores, often called "sea cows," frequent the warm, shallow waters of our region, especially during cooler months when they seek warmer waters.
On our manatee tours, you may observe:
- Feeding: Manatees grazing on seagrass and aquatic plants
- Breathing: Coming to the surface for air every few minutes
- Resting: Quietly floating in protected areas
As a protected species, we maintain strict guidelines when viewing manatees. Our guides are trained to provide exceptional viewing opportunities while ensuring these gentle giants remain undisturbed in their natural habitat.
