  • 5Manatees, Dolphins, Mangroves while the sun sets

    Our guide Jonathan did a great finding manatees and dolphins. He was knowledgeable of the area and continuously conversed with us about the surroundings and environment. Lots of fun kayaking through the mangrove tunnels. Also kept us safe by monitoring the weather online. Great exercise too.

  • 5Manatees and dolphins up close!

    This was a wonderful two hour trip. Joe was incredibly knowledgeable, pointing out wildlife along the way and advising us on how to navigate the mangrove tunnels. We didn't feel rushed and he followed our lead - allowing us plenty of time to wait and watch for the manatees to pop back up. He even tried to catch some fish at the end to share with our girls. We would highly recommend this trip, especially with Joe.

  • 5Worth it tour - combine sunset with bioluminescent for best results

    We went on a sunset plus bioluminescence tour with Fin expeditions in Cocoa Beach. Our guide, Ian, was fantastic. My son said it was his favorite tour guide he's ever met. He truly took the time to talk with us for two hours explain everything about the mangroves, the manatees, the dolphins the snake birds, the different type of birds, the jumping fish, what makes the water light up with bioluminescence. So thank you Ian for a great time! 5 stars!

About Cocoa Beach

Cocoa Beach is a surf town on Florida's Space Coast, a barrier-island strip between the Atlantic and the Banana River, close to Kennedy Space Center.

Cocoa Beach occupies a barrier island on Florida's Atlantic coast, with the ocean on one side and the Banana River lagoon on the other, east of Orlando. Its long beach is among the best surf breaks on the east coast, and the Cocoa Beach Pier reaches out over the waves. The surfer Kelly Slater, an eleven-time world champion, grew up here.
