It’s a marriage of physical activity and sightseeing: The nature and kayak tour.
It’ll become a must-do activity after one trip. The Intracoastal Waterway is a unique ecosystem of beauty and intrigue. There’s only one thing better than appreciating it from the shore.
And that’s getting into it in a kayak.
Humans have ridden in kayaks for 5,000 years, the first made of animal skins, bones, and wood. Today’s models are less organic, and way more fun.
Never venture out solo. On tours, stay with the group for safety.
Sit in your kayak on dry land to adjust the backband and footrest. (Some kayaks have many footrests and won’t need a change.)
This includes non-cotton, non-binding swimwear or shorts, non-cotton rashguard top, and neoprene footwear. Wear a hat, lightweight fleece jacket or vest, or spray and rain jacket and pants.
Take in the breathtaking views of the Intracoastal Waterway in a kayak. These outfits will take you out and about for an unforgettable experience.
Experienced kayakers who don’t have a vessel can rent and ride. They have friendly folks who rent bikes, paddle boards, canoes, chairs, and umbrellas. Ask about kayak delivery, too.
