Clear Kayak Tour of Clearwater Beach
Overview
Experience Clearwater from a new perspective as you paddle across bright turquoise water in a completely see-through kayak.
This tour brings you closer to wildlife encounters that feel authentic. Dolphins often cruise through the harbor, rays move quietly along the shallow flats, and pelicans and herons perch along the water's edge. With a marine wildlife expert leading the way, you'll learn fun facts and discover the ecosystem in a way that feels natural and engaging.
A stop at a boat-only bird preserve island offers space to explore, wade in the shallows, and take in sweeping views of the Intracoastal and Clearwater's signature blue waters.
This tour covers open water and offers a satisfying workout — guests should be comfortable with moderate physical activity and sustained paddling.
With small group sizes and personalized guiding, this experience stays friendly and welcoming for families, couples, and outdoor explorers who are ready to get out and move.
