Manatees

In Florida’s warm waters, manatees (also known as sea cows) glide gracefully. Seeing these gentle giants is a memorable experience.

Dolphins

Playful dolphins often swim alongside boats, leaping out of the water and riding the bow waves.

Sea turtles

Spotting sea turtles surfacing for air or swimming gracefully underwater is a treat.

Native Birds

Coastal areas are havens for seabirds. Look out for the tall birds that turn pink from eating so many shrimp, as well as pelicans, gulls, herons and ospreys and bald eagles soaring overhead or relaxing in their nests along the shorelines.
