Brady Yaks · Merritt Island, Florida
Dolphins, manatees, sunsets, and seasonal bioluminescence. Come paddle the Indian River Lagoon with local guides, near Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral.
A good crew. A few paddles. A day on the lagoon.
Daytime paddles
Look for dolphins, manatees, and the little things you’d miss from shore. Wildlife keeps its own schedule, so sightings vary.
Dolphins & manatees
An easygoing, 2-hour guided paddle around the lagoon. Keep an eye out for a dolphin’s fin, a manatee surfacing, and coastal birds along the way.
A good pick for: families, wildlife lovers, and a daytime outing.
Into the green
Explore leafy waterways with a guide who knows where to look. Take in the mangroves and learn a little about the life tucked along the shoreline.
A good pick for: exploring a different side of the coast.
For the early crew
Get out while the day is still waking up. Enjoy the morning light, a guided paddle, and time to look for wildlife before the day gets busy.
A good pick for: early risers and a quieter start.
Golden hour & after dark
A sunset paddle, seasonal glow, or a bit of both. Choose your pace and let the day wind down.
Evening on the lagoon
Leave a little room in your day for this. Paddle with your guide, enjoy the evening colors, and take in the view from the water.
A good pick for: an evening with friends, family, or your favorite person.
Seasonal night paddle
Join a guided night paddle and look for the lagoon’s seasonal glow. Warmer months can bring glowing plankton; cooler months can offer comb jellies. Brightness varies.
A good pick for: a little after-dark exploring.
Sunset + seasonal glow
Start in golden hour, stay for the night paddle. Watch the sunset, then look for seasonal bioluminescence as the lagoon settles into the dark. Glow varies with nature.
A good pick for: enjoying sunset and a night paddle in one trip.
Something a little different
A guided paddle together, then a picnic by the water. An easy way to turn a date or an afternoon outside into something a little more special.
Check the booking listing for picnic options, what’s included, and available dates.
