Lamar Lake is Miami's #1 location for manatee sightings during the region's manatee season between November and April each year. Outside of manatee season there are a number of other wildlife sightings common on our tours including dolphins, spotted eagle rays, great blue herons and a plethora of other local flora and fauna. The experience takes in Miami's unique mix of natural and urban scenes including, weather permitting, Downtown Miami's iconic skyline as seen from Biscayne Bay.

Thinking of gifting the Manatee Paddle Tour, anyone done it?

I’m considering this guided paddle tour for my partner’s birthday! We love wildlife, especially manatees. I’ve heard great things about Lamar Lake and how you can see dolphins too. Is it really as amazing as it sounds? What should I know before booking?

Just came back from the Manatee Paddle Tour - WOW!

I just did the guided paddle tour last weekend and it was incredible! We saw so many manatees, and the view of downtown Miami from the bay is beautiful. It was a bit windy, but the guides were awesome and made it easy for us. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a gift option!
