Itinerary and highlights
Experience two adventures in one as you paddle and snorkel through the beautiful waters of Biscayne Bay. Launch from PADL Wind Club at Crandon Park on your choice of kayak or paddleboard and head offshore across shallow waters and expansive seagrass beds.
During the first half of the tour, paddle to a shallow offshore sandbar where you’ll have time to get off your board or kayak, swim, cool off, and enjoy the crystal-clear waters surrounding Key Biscayne.
On the return journey, experience the bay from a completely different perspective. Paddle and snorkel your way back toward the beach, stopping along the route to explore healthy seagrass beds, patches of coral, and marine habitats where you may spot tropical fish, rays, lobsters, sea turtles, manatees, and other wildlife.
Rather than following the same route every day, your guides adjust the adventure based on wind, waves, currents, tides, visibility, and group ability. When conditions allow, you may explore farther offshore or visit additional snorkeling areas.
Every tour is different, and what you discover along the way is part of the adventure.
