Description
This trip combines two of our most popular trips, The Dolphin Eco Tour and The Guided Kayak Tour, in an over the top remote location. A favorite of locals and visitors alike, this four and half hour trip is sure to be a memorable experience for your group or family.
Your Outback adventure begins with a scenic boat excursion through the backcountry creeks and rivers near Palmetto Bluff, stopping for dolphins and other wildlife along the way. Our destination is Outside Palmetto Bluff's private island, called Page Island. This remote location is only accessible by boat, and is most often compared to the set of a ‘Survivor’ show, the perfect outpost to begin this distinctive kayak tour. After briefly exploring the island, your guide will lead a paddling clinic to get everyone up to speed. Then your guide will launch you in your kayak from our state-of-the-art kayak launch dock. Both single and double kayaks are available, and all boats are safe and comfortable.
