GAEA Guides uses tandem kayaks that handle like a single if you are alone in one. We do this to limit the number of kayaks in the environment that may annoy the wildlife. We also do it because there is better communication between the guide and the clients if there are fewer kayaks. We only take a small group on each tour. The kayaks are sit-inside kayaks with comfortable seats and plenty of leg room.

  • Embark on an awe-inspiring Florida adventure with GAEA Guides-Guided Kayak Nature Tours. The Florida west coast has an abundance of scenic landscapes and there is no better way to soak it all in than on a kayak tour down the winding rivers and passes that have come to characterize the land.
  • This is a beautiful estuary area, with mangroves and many birds, dolphins, manatees and other critters.
  • On this Cocohatchee River/Wiggins Pass Estuary Kayak Tour, your guide will offer plenty of insight and leave you feeling like you've been in an exotic, new place.

On this 2 hour kayak tour you will:

  • Get up-close views of the beautiful estuary area
  • Explore mangroves & other breathtaking landscapes
  • See many birds - herons, egrets, pelicans, osprey and many others.
  • Discover dolphins, manatee, and other critters
  • Much more!

Duration

  • 3 hours
  • The entire experience takes about 3 hours, and we'll be on the water for 2 hours. Upon meeting at the appointed time we will sign in, go over some safety information and then get the equipment in the water. This takes approximately ½ hour. At the completion of the tour we allow another ½ hour to get all the equipment put away!

What to Wear

We ask that you dress for the weather:

  • Usually a t-shirt and shorts will do.
  • Shoes that will get wet as you get in and out of your kayak (ideally, not flip flops as they can be very slippery).
  • Sunglasses.
  • Sunscreen.
  • A hat.
  • Bug repellant may also be necessary if we are out in the evening.

What to Bring/What Not to Bring

What to Bring

  • Water, or something, to drink.

What NOT to Bring

Do NOT bring anything that you cannot afford to get wet, unless you have it in a dry bag.
