Ages 11 and younger are free! 
For outdoor water sports enthusiasts! Embark on this full-day kayaking journey that checks all the boxes! Our 10-mile journey combines the best of both worlds: 5 miles of paddling, 5 miles of smooth motorized propulsion. 

Experience the beauty of nature as you launch from a prehistoric archaeological and aquatic preserve into a tropical mangrove jungle and six hours later, arrive at the beaches of the modern Fort Pierce ocean inlet. Navigate through enchanting narrow, dense canopied mangrove tunnels, winding trails and watery passages that transport you through a world untouched by time. 

Glide over sandbars and shallow flats, explore the lagoon teeming with tropical plants, diverse marine and avian wildlife.

Stop at a historic waterside restaurant, a perfect time to recharge with a lunch and drinks (available to purchase).

Secluded Jungle: Embark on this adventure starting from a prehistoric archaeological and aquatic preserve launch site and venture into the untouched mangrove jungle. Glide through the calm, shaded waters surrounded by tree crabs and avian life. 
Explore the Lagoon: Exiting the jungle, you will navigate a winding waterway, offering chances to wade at sandbars along the journey during low tide. Observe fascinating marine life like stingrays, puffer fish, and crabs, as well as various bird species. Your guide will lead you along the vibrant lagoon that leads to a vast and beautiful shallow water sandbar.

Recharge: Take a well-deserved break at the sandbar, where you can swim, wade, or sit on the side of your kayak with your toes in the water. Keep an eye out for manatees, dolphins, and stingrays in their natural habitat (weather and tide permitting). 

Lunch: Midway through the journey, we will stop for a break at an iconic waterfront restaurant (lunch and drinks available to purchase).

Ocean Inlet: Paddle your way to the ocean inlet, a secluded swim spot accessible only by boat. While you enjoy the beach, your guide will install the electric motor for your relaxing return trip.
