Top Cocoa Beach Stand Up Paddleboarding

We are the top-rated activity to do in Cocoa Beach for good reason. At Fin Expeditions, our goal is to treat everyone like they are family. Our tours are run by local guides that know the area in and out. They will take you deep into the lagoon to places you would not normally find on your own. Come experience the magical mangrove tunnels and bioluminescence or kick back and enjoy a dolphin swimming by. We set ourselves apart when it comes to kayak tours in Cocoa Beach. Many Kayak Tour agencies put 40 or more people in a group to maximize the money they will take in. We love our kayak tours to have a more intimate experience for every guest so we limit the size of our tours to 11 guests. We are here to help you and guide you on a magical tour of a lifetime through our beautiful lagoon. Our staff has been running kayak tours for many years and love what they do.

Go paddling with the manatees on Merritt Island with a 2-hour manatee tour in the Banana River Aquatic Preserve. Choose a stand-up paddleboard or a kayak, both of which offer a low-impact, environmentally-friendly way to spot Florida wildlife, such as manatees, dolphins, fish, and a diverse population of birds. Expert instructors will guide you through the preserve, and this tour is well suited to paddlers of all experience levels.

Let out friendly guides lead you on an amazing evening paddle adventure that begins on-shore at the Indian River Lagoon. After a lesson on paddling, we'll head into a gorgeous sunset to Horseshoe Crab Island. We'll search for horseshoe crabs and other marine life such as dolphins and manatees as the sun sets. Our guides will take photos of your group to share with you. After sunset, we'll paddle into the night and view the stars overhead and and look for bioluminescent comb jellyfish below us. Choose the Glow Lights option and light up the water below you. Our powerful LED lighting systems give a unique glimpse into the Indian River Lagoon. Turn the lights off and experience the bioluminescent Comb Jellyfish that light up the water naturally. We highly recommend enjoying this adventure on one of our sturdy paddleboards. It gives you an amazing vantage point for seeing what is going on underneath you. You can also sit if you like and enjoy the water from a closer vantage point.

Our friendly and knowledgable guides and super stable paddleboards will have you feeling like a pro in no time. We also have kayaks if you prefer. Even if you've never paddled before, you will leave with a new skill you can take when exploring other places. This is an amazing eco-system to learn on. There is so much to see. We love spotting the marine life in this amazing eco-system. We regularly see dolphins, manatees, rays, horseshoe crabs and more!
