This is A Day Away’s “Have it Your Way” tour. On a Private Refuge Tour you have up to three hours to do exactly what you want enabling moments like the photos above that you, your friends and family will remember forever.
We offer itinerary ideas but you call the shots. If you like the idea of…
… then a private tour is just the thing for you.
The kayaking adventure continues with a search for playful dolphins, often fishing actively nearby. As if beholding these majestic mammals in their element isn’t enough, you’ll likely enjoy many other Florida natives including pelicans, osprey, roseate spoonbills, horseshoe crabs, and even the occasional gator.
As visitors in the manatee’s natural habitat, you can expect to observe and study the famed Sea Cows. Keep in mind that we seek not to disturb, overwhelm, or disrupt the manatee’s natural behaviors, but rather let you experience them on their terms. Your voice may reach a new octave as you ooh and ahh, but you can be sure they’ll just keep doing their adorable and friendly (but curious) thing.
Although shared tours are fun, a private kayak tour gives you the freedom to tailor your adventure to your preferences. Whether you’d like to linger with manatees under the glow of bioluminescence or focus more on sightseeing, a private tour ensures you make the most of your experience. Paddling in clear kayaks enhances the magic, allowing you to see the sparkling bioluminescence not only around you but also beneath you, creating an unforgettable experience. You can adjust the activities to suit your interests, skipping anything that doesn’t appeal to you or spending extra time on what you enjoy most.
We recommend private tours if you prefer to have a more personalized experience or when you have children with you. Experienced guides are with you the entire time, helping you better maneuver your kayak and sharing exciting information about the area. You can paddle through the water slowly for groups with kids and not worry about the other participants. Most importantly, a private tour gives you an exclusive adventure — it’s always more fun when it’s just you and your loved ones. Our team also ensures you don’t miss anything exciting or fun during the tour. Our experience and skills help you make the most of your adventure.
