About This Adventure

Experience the enchanting beauty of the Florida/Georgia Coast with our Sunrise, Sunset, and Full-Moon Kayak Tours. Glide through tranquil waters as vibrant colors paint the sky, or bask in the moonlight's glow. This unique adventure offers serene moments with nature and unforgettable memories shared with friends and family.

Sunrise and Sunset Tours are a guest favorite. One of the best things to do on the Florida/Georgia Coast is to relax and take in the vibrant hues at the start and end of the day, and there’s no better way to do that then from the vantage point of a kayak. In the cool of the evening and in the early morning, when the winds are still and the water is calm, there is a certain magic to things. Everything is a bit more tranquil and wildlife abounds. The serenity will stay with you for days!

Full-Moon Tour Navigating your kayak by moonlight is a magical experience you won't soon forget. This unique kayak tour allows for a grand view of the moon as it illuminates the night sky. The atmosphere is peaceful and calming, yet spectacular. We head out shortly before sunset to enjoy both the beautiful colors of the setting sun and the full-moon experience. We will paddle leisurely while admiring the moon's silvery light reflecting off the water's surface. Bring your friends and family along to enjoy a peaceful paddle under a big, bright moon – listening for the sounds of nocturnal animals and gazing at the night sky.

Sunrise or Early Bird Tours may meet between the hours of 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM Sunset Tours may meet between the hours of 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM Full Moon Tours may meet between the hours of 5:30 PM & 7:30 PM Be sure to check the meet time for the Specialty Tour you've chosen.
