- One adult must attend for every child under 15. Children under 15 cannot paddle without an adult in the kayak with them. Minors are not allowed without an adult present. For those kayaking with children we recommend a moderate level of fitness, as the adult will be doing the majority of the work.
- While welcome paddlers of all skill levels, kayaking can be a physically demanding activity. Winds, tides and weather can all impact the difficulty of the paddle. Please reach out to us to discuss further if you have questions.
- During peak season from April- September traffic in the Destin Ft. Walton Beach area can cause major slow downs. Please leave ample time to make it to our launch before the start of the tour. We cannot hold the tour for late arrivals.
- Water recreation is the highest midday. For those looking for wildlife or a quieter experience we recommend morning and evening tours.

First time kayaking! - The place is a little hard to find. more like easy to miss -- use your map app as we drove by it twice.
We had a group of 5 adults and 4 of us were newbies. There were also 3 other guests.
After a little bit of a rough start with some of us getting stuck on sandbars due to low water levels, we made it out to the open water. Lots of birds to see, and loved the hermit crabs. It was a beautiful day, and Erin showed us a lot of the area.
Would have liked a little more quiet time to enjoy nature's beauty and sounds, but we definitely covered a lot of water!
Tip - my partner and I didn't start out the best because of our difference in weight - I got in with a solo kayaker close to my size and we did fine, and so did by partner as a solo kayaker! Something to keep in mind.

Dylan’s the best!! - Wow! What a cool kayaking tour! Our guide Dylan made it so fun & educational, 20/10 will definitely go back. Best guide I’ve ever had. Offered to take photos & gave us options on where we wanted to go. Ask for Dylan if you are thinking about going. He made sure we were safe & happy.

Fun and Learning Experience - Dylan was excellent with us and very knowledgeable with the wildlife and surroundings. Most of all, he made us feel comfortable with his friendliness personality. We are very appreciative with Dylan pointing out the natural habitats while kayaking across the intercostal waterways.

Fun Family Activity - We are a family of 5 with 3 older teen girls. It's hard to find an activity we all agree on so this was perfect. Adventurous but at a slower pace where we could enjoy the outdoors. It's a good workout but if you don't want to go very far, the guide will accommodate whatever the group wants to do. They also provide dry bags to keep your phone and keys in. We wanted to paddle a lot and see all the coves so we did the full experience. So fun to stop at the sandbar to wade in the water and look for fish and crabs. Was hoping to see more wildlife than we did but we saw a big hermit crab and a few cool fish. The water is more brackish than clear so I was a little disappointed about that but we had a great time and an excellent guide. Elizabeth was very knowledgable and kind, conscious about boat traffic and keeping us safe and very accommodating. We had a great time and would do it again!

Must do for nature lovers! - My husband and I had a great time kayaking across the intercoastal waterway! It was a good time, sights were beautiful, got to see some cute sea creatures and our guide Elise was great! She has a background in zoology and had lots of great info to give. She also was amazing and went and retrieved my kayak after it floated away while no one noticed. It got pretty far, but she got it and towed it back! Great day, definitely recommend giving this activity a try!

Clear water kayak experience - It was a perfect day with moderate cloud coverage and no boat traffic. We saw a sting ray and a jelly fish and a few different bird species. The marine life was quiet we didn’t really see much but overall it was a great peaceful experience. Our guide Erin was very nice and extremely educated in marine biology and seemed to be extremely passionate about all of the animals.
