Surrounded by mangroves, oyster beds, and rock shoals, this stunning tour route provides a safe and beautiful experience with breathtaking views of Tampa Bay. As you paddle along, you’ll enjoy the glowing backdrop of 8-story cruise ships illuminated in the distance, along with glimpses of the downtown Tampa skyline.

DISCOVER MARINE LIFE UP CLOSE

This guided tour takes you through vibrant shallow waters teeming with sea life. Guests often spot crabs, shrimp, conchs, and hermit crabs crawling along the seafloor. Schools of mullet—known for their sudden jumps—create exciting moments as they dart around the kayaks. You may also encounter redfish (channel bass) cruising the oyster shoals, and snook, Florida’s prized state fish, hunting along the mangrove-lined edges. With the help of our underwater LED lights, you’ll get a front-row view of this diverse marine ecosystem.

A ONE-OF-A-KIND NIGHTTIME KAYAK EXPERIENCE

One of the highlights of the tour is our unique fish feeding experience. As we paddle, mangrove snapper, menhaden, and catfish are drawn to the lights beneath your kayak—often following alongside you throughout the tour. Keep an eye out for herons or pelicans wading in the shallows as well. This fully guided, 75-minute tour is perfect for families, couples, and nature lovers looking to explore Tampa’s waterways in a peaceful and unforgettable way.
