Description
Why wear goggles when you can paddle a 100% clear kayak in these crystal clear waters? Grab your window seat to a view like no other + see Santa Rosa Sound from a whole new perspective with this guided eco-tour! Our clear kayaks have the benefit of greater visibility of the underwater world so be on the lookout for a variety of wildlife! Our tour takes us to the area less traveled outside of Destin so we don't have to worry about all the boat traffic. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to view + enjoy nature! So be on the lookout for dolphins, birds, turtles, crabs, fish + so much more! We take our time exploring uninhabited spoil island where we will have the chance to take a dip or explore the beaches!

This kayak tour was difficult. We all had experience kayaking, but the kayaks were heavy plastic and tandem. My son and I paddled together in a tandem and did pretty well for awhile, but paddling against a current is a lot of work. Advanced kayakers only. My friend kayaked alone and had a hard time keeping up with the group. The break at the sandbar was nice and much needed. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgable about aquatic life.
We had an amazing time kayaking and would absolutely do it again! Our guide, Jayme, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating information about the local wildlife. As nature enthusiasts, this experience was exactly the kind of adventure we were hoping for. Thank you for such a memorable outing!
We enjoyed kayaking. We were disappointed that we didnt really see any wildlife. We really couldnt see anything in our clear kayaks. Water wasnt clear at all. We thought where we launched from could definately be improved. Bathroom was neglected. Our guide was great!
Jayme was the best! She was friendly, had a chill vibe and shared fun facts about the area. She was quick to point out stingrays, jumping fish and even caught a hermit crab for us to look at up close! Highly recommend her as your guide!
Jayme was a very awesome tour guide! First dual kayak experience, got to see some crabs, stingrays, and got a work out. lol Thank you so much!
Tour was an amazing experience! Definitely was skeptical at first but our tour guide jack made us feel comfortable! Definitely an experience! We also saw Dolphins!
Our tour guide Jamyee was awesome. We enjoyed our tour. Even though we were badly sunburnt. Lol. We didn't get to see much marine life but it was so pretty. Highly recommend
Lyric was a great guide who focused on safety and the beauty of our environment. Nice pace and fun perspective to exploring this beautiful area.
Lots of fun. Bring sunscreen to apply before going. Bring a wayer bottle. There are bathrooms to use before and after the tour.
Lyric was a great tour guide me and my family had a great time. We saw some really cool wildlife and had a great time exploring the sound.
