Cocoa Kayaking, Cocoa Beach FL

My family and I went on the sunset tour. Marcus was an excellent guide. Everyone in our group had a fantastic time! We saw both dolphins and manatees while we were kayaking. I highly recommend Cocoa Kayaking.

Marcus was the man, whatever your paying that guy he deserves it and more! We went on a comb jelly kayaking tour and had a blast. Such beautiful sights, nature's nuts. Decided we liked it so much we would go and do haulover canal and switch it up and do the paddle boarding. I watched Marcus float over an unseen full grown manatee and it let out a ton of air at once. This dude was on a paddle board and it looked like he was riding a wave He continued the tour like nothing had happened. He knew everything that was in the sky, the water, and on the shore. Guy couldn't be stumped! He picked tons of trash out of the water I was trying to figure out where he put it all! At the end of the day I wished I had a six pack to sit down and just enjoy the beautiful weather and the good company. I felt compelled to write a review we had such a wonderful experience!

Me and Wife took the night bioluminescence tour. At first we were disappointed when we heard that we had actually missed the "bloom", but our guide was super friendly, and we lucked out to find a patch of bioluminescent "cone" jellyfish. Non stinging, and very bright lightning-like lights. Can hold them in your hand for an incredible experience. The reserve area is fill of wildlife, and fish are abundant. Awesome kayaks were newer, and clean. They sit up taller, so there was excellent viewing. Nets we're provided for the possibility of catching and holding the jellyfish. Schedule a full moon night for another incredible layer. A+ guys

James our Tour Guide was awesome! We saw Manatee's, Dolphin's, Crabs, lots of Birds! It was epic! Thanks for the great tour!

Perfect morning for kayaking. There was a great breeze and it was so peaceful. James was awesome and very knowledgeable. Going through the mangroves was a very cool experience. We saw tons of birds and dolphins. Would definitely recommend this tour!

We had an ABSOLUTE blast with the Cocoa Kayaking staff. We did two tours on the same day in two different locations; one with Marcus and another with James, our tour guides, and it's been one of the best experiences we've had out in the water. We are locals and love hitting the water with our boards and kayaks, but working with Cocoa Kayaking: their professionalism, their knowledge of the area along with their obvious respect and appreciation for our beautiful wildlife has left us wanting to work with them even more. You can NEVER go wrong when you book with them!

Hey Central Fl Locals (and all friends visiting), if you're looking for a fun weekend activity, different work out for the day or activity to do while on vacation check out Cocoa Kayaking! Family friendly and so much fun. Guides are knowledgeable on the loacal eco system and its so peaceful out on the water. I took my daughter on the Bioluminescence tour and we loved it! Definitely wear long sleeves and take lots of big spray but totally worth watching the water change colors as you kayak around or watch fish jumping in the water. Cocoa Kayaking makes it extra fun by providing glowsticks and water shooters, so prepare to get a little wet. Well definitely be back soon as we had so much fun!

James was a great guide. We saw dolphins, manatees and enjoyed the bioluminescent comb jelly tour. Thank you for a wonderful evening paddling.

This was a wonderful experience! First off our tour guide James was fantastic and knew lots about the animals and birds, was very patient and helpful when my friend and I tried to navigate (and get stuck) going through the mangroves. We took the 9 AM tour and the sights we saw were beautiful. We saw lots of dolphins and mullets! Would love to do another tour!

They saved my phone when I fell into the water and for that they deserve all the stars. Kayaking experience was a whole lot of fun!

Marc was an awesome tour guide, so nice and funny! We went on a nighttime tour to see the bioluminescence water and it was so bright and completely topped my expectation (if you haven’t seen it before you need to). We even got to catch jelly fish and saw lots of fish light up the water as they swam by. I would definitely go again and highly recommend! Great even for first timers.

James was an awesome guide! Such an incredible experience, we even got to see a dolphin takeoff through the water! Already planning our next trip back

Amazing experience with a top notch guide. Thank you Genevieve for pointing us in the direction of the Mangrove Tunnel, Sunset and Bioluminescent Tour. You were a fantastic guide and made the tour so exciting. We loved the Mangrove Tunnels at dark and the Bioluminescence was outrageous. We are still talking about holding the Cone Jellyfish and our time on the water with you. Everyone in our family agreed that it was exceptional. We will be back to do another tour with your company. Wishing you the best of luck as you continue to grow Cocoa Kayaking.

My daughter and I went out for the bioluminesce tour, and James was our guide. The whole trip was magical! James was a lot of fun, extremely knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife and he was so wonderful with my daughter. We can't wait to go back!

We had a blast! Genevieve was our guide and she was knowledge and laid-back! It was exactly what we needed to start out our vacation! Relaxing and peaceful. Don’t forget your bug spray!

We had a wonderful trip with our kids (4&2), they especially loved the mangroves. We saw dolphins, crabs, and spiders as well as some fish! Really fun and exciting! James was a great guide and was very knowledgeable.

I’ve traveled the world and had some awesome experiences as not only tour guide but also as a guest! However, the Merritt Island Wildlife refuge Haulover Canal kayaking experience is hands down one of my favorite places in the world! As a Wildlife guide for Cocoakayaking.com i will get you up close and personal with wildlife like you’ve never experienced. Haulover Canal is an amazing experience where you will kayak with the manatee, dolphins, and many other animals the call Haulover Canal and the Wildlife refuge home. As a kayak tour guide I’ll make sure you have everything you need to have an absolute unforgettable experience! Visit cocoakayaking.com and book a tour for the Merrit Island Wildlife Refuge located on Kennedy Space Center in Titusville Florida! It’s so good! Come kayak with me!

Super friendly and responsive from the get go (thanks Genevieve!) and our guide was awesome as well! We had an AMAZING time and the bioluminescent tour was absolutely wonderful! We were lucky with very still waters and we loved every second of our time there! 10/10 recommend!

We had a great time kayaking in the morning with James. Everything was very organized and safe and he did a great job letting people go at their own pace and putting us in a position to see dolphins and all different kinds of bird species. It was really neat to be that close to dolphins and dive bombing pelicans. Going through the mangroves was pretty cool as well. Highly recommend!
