Get Up and Go Kayaking - Flagler operates guided clear kayak tours based in Palm Coast, Florida. The company offers two primary experiences on the Matanzas River estuary: the Private Flagler Clear Kayak Tour and the Flagler Clear Kayak Tour. Both tours last approximately 2 to 2.5 hours and feature transparent-hull kayaks that allow paddlers to view marine life below the surface.
Tours begin with a short orientation and paddling instruction before launching into winding creeks and lush mangrove channels. The Private Flagler Clear Kayak Tour includes an intermediate upstream paddle followed by a drift back downstream, with opportunities to explore sandy bars. The Flagler Clear Kayak Tour follows a similar 2–2.5 hour route across the Matanzas River and through mangroves while focusing on wildlife viewing.
Wildlife commonly observed from these clear kayaks includes coastal bird species, dolphins, and vibrant marine life visible through the kayak hulls. Trips combine moderate physical activity with nature observation, suitable for participants seeking an active outdoor excursion.
Get Up and Go Kayaking - Flagler is featured on The Adventure Collective, providing an external reference for travelers researching kayaking options in the area. The business advertises both private and standard guided clear kayak options, making it possible to choose a private tour or join a regular scheduled tour. All advertising and trip summaries specify locations, durations, and the clear kayak format so visitors can choose the tour that fits their preferences. Bookings are available for private groups and individual paddlers through the operator online reservation.
