Paddle the Halifax River near Daytona Beach on a small-group kayak tour with chances to spot dolphins, manatees, birds, and turtles.

“The tour guide was very professional and made the best of the trip. Take the tour for the experience of paddle boarding or kayaking vs. to see wildlife. If you are looking strictly for wildlife, I'd book another tour as there isn't anything to see here, at least not for us and it's a very high boat traffic area”
