Fin Expeditions content is of high quality, very popular and we fill fast so reservations are a must . Let's talk about our really young explorers. They are so important. Just as or actually more important than the wildlife we see. It really is about the children. Leaving a positive impression relating to environment is so important for their memories. Imagine the impression your child will have when a 2000 lb manatee approaches them to within 6 ". I get a lot of very fair questions regarding if our tours are appropriate for the very young. I have taken infants out, but the expedition then becomes focused on ensuring the ultimate safety of those young explorers. Does the youngster have the capacity to understand what they are seeing ? One thing is we must have 1 adult for any youngster that cannot paddle for themselves. I can paddle a small one. So rather than saying a child must be a certain age to participate, call me 321-698-7233 or Email Fin Expeditions and lets have a discussion and see if what we do is appropriate for the young explorer. So now that we have covered how we get underway, let's cover how we view the stars of the lagoon.
Amazing plants and wild animals. Shy sometimes, inquisitive sometimes. Many different behaviors are seen. Are they Sleeping ? Feeding ? Playing ? Traveling ? Are the babies nursing ? Mating ? Sheltering ? Standing on their head and basically doing something we can't understand ? Our absolute goal is to view without disrupting or changing any of these and other behaviors. We follow the Guide lines of the National Marine Fisheries Service And adhere to the marine mammal Protection act of 1972 Are very, very, mobile. They travel and have specific areas they hunt . These guys cover a lot of ground during their day. When we set out on expeditions we wait for them to come to us. We do not pursue. Thus we do not do a Dolphin specific "tour". It is amazing watching a 300lb+ wild dolphin feeding in 18" of water. Watching a adolescent calf practicing bubble screening is so cool to see. Dolphin Viewing Probability High
This Guy was trying to dislodge a Remora (Shark Sucker). Photo from Pegasus Are very prevalent in our lagoon. However they are seasonal. In the winter usually around the 1st week of December they leave our area for warmer water, By the 1st of March they start filtering back in as the water warms. These guys are quite the enigma. Fin Expeditions goal is to stay completely silent and transparent to the animals, Have you ever wondered what a manatee is thinking ? Check this out... The Brain of the Florida Manatee Manatee Viewing probability Very High (in season).
