What a great outing! We met owner/operator/naturalist Timmy Chastain on 3/24/08. The weather was cool and windy, but Timmy was able to locate two Manatees that were hanging out together. We got great video of them acting very playful and were able to observe them on and off for about 30 minutes. I felt like I was making my own nature video. We would have liked to have seen some dolphins, but it just wasn't to be. This in no way dampened the experience however. The best part of our tour was watching Timmy interact with our three children (aged 12, 9 & 6). Timmy knows his stuff, and he did a great job of engaging the children and teaching them about the wildlife native to the mangroves. Kayaking through the mangroves was an experience that we will not soon forget. The peacefulness and tranquility of the mangroves was inspiring. This outing was all and more than I wanted it to be. I was looking for something worthwhile to break up the Disney craziness, and found it in Fin Expeditions. My wife and I, and more importantly, my children walked away with an appreciation for Manatees and the other wildlife that make up the area. I would highly recommend this outing to anyone, but especially families. This is definitely an outing that we will be going on again! Thanks Timmy!

This operation is awesome. The perfect family outing.

After spending a week in Disney World, we were ready to experience the real Florida. This was the perfect way to do so.
Captain Tim knows his stuff and loves what he does.

He only takes one family at a time. So you don't have to deal with others who may not be compatable with you. He spends as much time as necessary for you to have a memorable experience.

We saw wild dolphins and manatee and learned tons about the local ecology. He spent lots of time talking with our 11 yo about the boat and the local wildlife and plants.

Then we all went Kayaking. Captain Tim is an excellant teacher - so listen to what he says and you will have an awesome adventure.

And the price is right too.

We had a terrific day with naturalist, Timmy Chastain, aboard his small boat Pegasus. We spent three hours exploring the wonder of the habitats of the intercoastal waterway around Cocoa Beach. We saw many, many dolphins, pelicans and heron. The mangrove forests were amazing. We had hoped to see some manatees, but none were to be found on our tour. Timmy also provides bottled water and small snacks. I highly recommend this tour - we loved it!!
