Our kind of classroom

There’s a lot going on below your kayak.

Manatees surfacing. Dolphins moving through the lagoon. Mangroves full of life. And, in season, tiny organisms that make a night paddle something special.

Manatee Cove is our home base and a place we love sharing. These guides help you get to know the water before you get on it.
