What To Expect
Our paddle guides are well versed with all of the ins and outs of the "Kings Bay National Wildlife Refuge" They will guide you throughout the bay pointing out wildlife and narrating as you go along to look for the wild manatees of Kings Bay. Although manatees are the star of the show, there are many other species of wildlife you could see on your paddle. You will be able to explore inlets and springs and many of the “nooks and crannies” of the Bay area. Don’t be surprised if you come across river otters frolicking near shore, or if a flock of birds floats right by you. You’ll also get a chance to see some beautiful tarpon or other fish (no fishing is allowed, however).
All you need to bring is a dry bag to put anything in that you do not wish to get wet and a dry shirt/pants, just in case. We sell dry bags and under-water cell phone bags if you do not have them. Layered clothes also are a great idea, as the air will warm up throughout the day.

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.
