NCLs kayaking at Port Canaveral

[Monica887]

Has anyone done the manatee kayaking in PC? The reviews are poor but doesn't say why. I am looking for something that combines active and wildlife, and that sounded like fun. Any feedback?

We did this excursion.  Sadly, we did not see a single manatee.  It was a bit chilly in March and we kayaked around the mangroves in search of them.  There were a few times in which the group got spread out and we had to wait for everyone to gather.  There was a sign saying manatee zone, so I’m sure we were in the right place.  Unfortunately, the weather didn’t support the conditions for us to meet with the manatees.  Good luck if you go on this excursion!

Thanks! Was it at least well organized and scenic, even without a sighting?

It was organized and the crew was nice.  To not put a damper on the lack of manatees, I focused on enjoying the kayaking.  You will hug the mangroves and land.  There were a couple of homes where we peered into the yards with cool design.  Unlike a river, the other side of your view was wide open waters that you could not venture over.  As experienced kayakers, we were expecting a bit more.

 

Oh, and all of the the kayaks are tandems.  I was not expecting that when we showed up.
