EcoBay Kayaking Adventures offers a 1.5-hour eco paddle that appeals to both beginners and seasoned kayakers.

The paddling route weaves through scenic channels and along beaches, revealing different facets of this intricate estuarine system. The natural geology of the bay features soft, sedimentary deposits and salt marshes that support a vibrant eco-system.

EcoBay Kayaking Adventures stands out not just for its scenic routes but for its commitment to environmentally sustainable practices.
