Manatee Cove is a hidden treasure, Manatees migrate to this little cove in the summer. It is normal to see 10 to 15 manatees on your adventure. Dolphin sightings are always a joy and are seen on most rentals. It is always a treat to watch dolphins in the wild chase their food (fish). The thing I hear the most from folks after their return is, amazing, Beautiful and fun. You will be surprised at how much wildlife you encounter on your rental.

The owner was super personable and friendly. Our brand new spray sun block was defective, and he gave us a sun block packet to use. We saw everything that was advertised, Manatee, dolphin, and an island.

Showed up for 3pm reservation. No one was there. Had to call like 10 times to even get a hold of the owner. Finally called back a hour after our reservation. He said he was not even aware of the reservation. Got the code to unlock the kayak and had to get it ourselves.
No guide to lead us. Had no idea where to go. Didn't really see any manatees, or much wildlife at all. Rather disappointing.

The equipment was fine. Check-in was easy and very casual as the attendance left after they gave us instructions how to get the kayak and lifejackets ready for lunch. Little instruction on where to go, what to avoid, you just hit the water and go. We took a tandem, and like I said the equipment was acceptable. Nothing fancy about this place. There were no restrooms, you had to go down to the park facility. No place to lock up car keys, etc. so if you go come prepared with a dry bag.

We were told there would be a guide, not true. You’re only renting out the kayaks and you figure out the rest. We were also told there’s not alligators. Wrong again! While trying to take cover from a storm, we encountered a Gator while stranded in strong winds and open water.
The experience was beat, but not knowing what to do in the middle of the storm she’s seeing gator, was scary!

Phil was great at giving advice where to see the manatees & dolphins. Kayaking out to the island.
We had a blast and plan on doing it again before we go home.

Kayaks were comfortable and it good shape. We saw lots of manatees up close and even caught a glimpse of a few dolphins. Very relaxing time out in the water.

This was a family trip- ages 8-72! Pollyanna was our guide and she was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the animals. We saw many manatee, dolphins and birds. I would have like a little more time in the cove with the manatee but overall it was a favorite adventure of our trip!

When we asked the guide what are the chances of seeing a manatee and he said 100%, we were dubious. But the inlet was teeming with these gentle giants! Wonderful to paddle (carefully!) in the water with them and see them up close. We also sighted a couple of dolphins. We will definitely do this again;-)
