Highlights
With 15+ years of faithful service, A1A Outdoor Center has earned the title, "Most Respected Tour" for a reason. We treat our guests like family. On this tour, you'll receive individual guidance as necessary to get into and out of your vessel, and get help with simple instructions. No experience necessary. And if you are an experienced paddler, we'll only help when asked. We'll enjoy relaxed manatee and dolphin viewing as well as other marine wildlife at your pace, paddling along natural mangrove shorelines, marine islands, and scenic tidal flats. Frequent sightings include manatees, dolphins, jumping fish, otters, shore birds, diving birds, birds of prey (osprey, bald eagles) and occasionally bottom marine life such as crabs, rays, skates, fish and more. No matter what the sightings though, you'll have a great time learning about Florida lagoons and enjoying a tranquil paddle in paradise.

Our fully guided kayak tour is 2 hours of wild exploration along the calm inshore backwaters of the famous Cocoa Beach Thousand Islands Marine Sanctuary. We'll paddle along mangrove shorelines in search of curious manatee and friendly dolphin and surely see a variety of other wildlife including raptors, shorebirds, otters, and shallow water creatures like crabs, stingrays, and jumping fish!
