About

You'll receive a brief introduction to the basics of paddle boarding and kayaking before we head out onto the water to explore islands covered in lush mangrove jungle. As we paddle through, we’ll be on the lookout for all types of wildlife, including manatees, birds, crabs, fish, and possibly even a dolphin. We’ll explore the natural wonders of the area for about 2.5 hours. Our naturalist guides will teach you about South Florida's unique ecosystem. There is plenty to see in and out of the water. Once we reach our halfway point, we'll stop to enjoy a nice fresh fruit snack and drinks. including watermelon, cantaloupe, or bananas. Drinks are included and totally free; all you can responsibly drink is beer, hard seltzers, and water. There is never a rush for time. Other things to note: You have the option to choose a kayak or a stand-up paddleboard. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a towel, a bathing suit, a camera, a waterproof bag or case for your phone, and a positive attitude. Anything you do not want to get wet can be stored in our car while we are on the water.

Note: Children who sit on your lap are free!

What to bring

You should be ideally dressed in a bathing suit because you will get wet no matter how careful you are. If you do not want to get tan lines, it is better to wear a long-sleeved shirt underneath your swimsuit. We will also suggest you wear a hat so that you don't feel the heat of the sun when we get into the middle of the ocean. Sunscreen with an SPF of a minimum of 30 is recommended to protect your face and body from tan lines and heat rashes. We will suggest you wear your comfy aqua shoes during the tour, and if you don't have them, you can wear your sports sandals. If you are coming to Miami during winter, you should carry a windbreaker and a sweater to beat the chilly breeze of the ocean.

Adventure Tips

Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Protect both your skin and the fragile water ecosystem by applying reef-safe sunscreen before heading out.

Bring a Dry Bag

Keep your phone, snacks, and extra layers dry by storing them in a waterproof dry bag.

Wear Water Shoes

Mangrove roots and shallow waters can be rocky or muddy—water shoes provide better protection and grip.

Start Early or Late

Avoid midday heat and catch the best light by paddling early morning or late afternoon.
