Overview

Discover the wonders of Don Pedro Island! Dive into adventure on a kayaking eco tour with the areas most experienced tour guides. Your tour guide will lead you into hidden parts of the island. Explore the real Florida while kayaking through narrow mangrove forests. Delve into the hidden coastal lagoon and the wonders it holds. View rookery islands, coastal birds, and small marine life. Explore some of the manatee’s and dolphin’s favorite hang-outs. Learn about their food sources and day-to-day activities.

Kayaking over the seagrass flats is where you may find the smaller marine creatures. Such as sea stars, sea urchins, whelks, conchs, and hermit crabs. Each trip is unique and led by a certified Florida Master Naturalist. It’s one thing to see wildlife but another to learn how each creature and tree is all connected. Every day is a new adventure.

Q: Do I need kayaking experience or will you teach me?
A:

No experience is necessary! Beginners are welcome on all of our kayak tours. Most of our guests have never been in a sea kayak before. Anyone in average physical condition may join a kayak tour. If you can hike or bike, you can paddle our sea kayaks. You do not need any swimming skills either.

The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.

Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
