Enjoy blue water paddling, snorkeling time at the Bay Reef Lagoon, birdwatching, and beachcombing, and don’t miss stopping to explore hidden tide pools along the way. The tour includes all necessary gear (kayak, paddles, life jackets, snorkeling equipment), as well as snacks, bottled water, and a deli-style lunch for morning departures. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult; all guests should be comfortable in the ocean and prepared for roughly 1.5 hours of round-trip driving time to and from the launch location.
