About
This is a family-focused tour with discounts for children ages 6-12. This tour departs daily out of the Frisco Bay Marina. We will paddle through the Giberson Bay Islands heading towards the Meadow Creek Preserve. Here you will expect to see Ospreys, waterfowl, and the occasional Mule deer. Tour distances depend on the speed of the group. As many parents know children can be unpredictable, with that said this trip could be an hour and a half wildlife safari or a 2-hour splash fest.
This tour is designed for families with young children or families with more children than adults! With that in mind, please understand that the speed and distance of this tour is usually dictated by how well the children are doing. This is why groups that don't have children are required to book the Island Tour.
