Manatees in Jupiter: A Year-Round Delight on the Water

If you’re planning a trip to Jupiter and searching for unforgettable things to do, spotting a manatee in the wild should be at the top of your list—and the best part? You can see them year-round!

Our kayak tours with Get Up and Go Kayaking – Jupiter give you a front-row seat to these gentle giants in their natural habitat. As you paddle through the crystal-clear waters of the Indian River Lagoon, keep your eyes peeled—manatees often cruise by our clear kayaks, especially near seagrass beds and mangrove shorelines.

The calm, shallow waters around the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse create a perfect environment for these peaceful marine mammals to relax, graze, and even interact with each other. Whether you’re visiting in winter (when they gather to stay warm) or summer (when they’re freely exploring the lagoon), manatees are a magical sight year-round.

Our tours are more than just paddling—they’re about making memories. From marine life encounters to postcard-worthy views of the iconic lighthouse, it’s an experience you won’t forget.

Ready to meet a manatee and explore the beauty of Jupiter from a new perspective? Come join us on the water—paradise is just a paddle away.
