Clear Kayak Ecotour Destin Ft. Walton Beach
Overview
Why wear goggles when you can paddle a 100% clear kayak in these crystal clear waters? Grab your window seat to a view like no other + see Santa Rosa Sound from a whole new perspective with this guided eco-tour! Our clear kayaks have the benefit of greater visibility of the underwater world so be on the lookout for a variety of wildlife! Our tour takes us to the area less traveled outside of Destin so we don't have to worry about all the boat traffic. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to view + enjoy nature! So be on the lookout for dolphins, birds, turtles, crabs, fish + so much more! We take our time exploring uninhabited spoil island where we will have the chance to take a dip or explore the beaches!

Nov 2021No experience is necessary! Beginners are welcome on all of our kayak tours. Most of our guests have never been in a sea kayak before.

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. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
