Itinerary and highlights

Come join us as we explore Biscayne Bay. During the Spring and Summer months enjoy the birds and aquatic sea life that proliferate in the area. Between November and April, large peaceful manatees migrate into Biscayne Bay making it highly likely to spot them while riding paddleboards and kayaks in the bay and it's surrounding waters.

Currents and wind permitting we can also paddle along the Atlantic Coast or paddle into the bay to see the picturesque Miami skyline -- the perfect mix of the city's urban and natural environments.

Each guided activity is lead by an experienced paddle expert, is up to two hours long and includes rental of a kayak or standup paddle board, paddles and safety equipment.
