What To Expect
Skip the crowded group tours and experience Clearwater from the water at your own pace.
This 2.5-hour private guided kayak adventure is reserved exclusively for you and your group. We’ll paddle from North Clearwater Beach through the calm Intracoastal Waterway, passing beautiful waterfront homes, tropical scenery and local wildlife on our way to a secluded spoil island.
And this isn’t 2.5 hours of nonstop paddling. Once we reach the island, you’ll have about an hour to swim, explore, relax on the beach, play games, or simply enjoy being out on the water before we make our way back.
Never kayaked before? No problem. Our comfortable, stable kayaks are beginner-friendly, and because every tour is private, we can adjust the pace to your group. Whether you want a relaxing paddle, a fun family adventure, a unique date, or simply a different way to experience Clearwater Beach, the trip is yours to enjoy.
We take care everything! Your experience includes towels, cold bottled water and snacks, a Bluetooth speaker for music, beach games and a cooler—so you can show up ready to have fun.
Book your private kayak tour and come experience a side of Clearwater most visitors never get to see.

The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.
Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding.

And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
