Clear Kayak Tour of Tarpon Springs | Manatee Season

Overview

Adventure through Tarpon Springs in your 100% clear kayak! You’ll enjoy a tranquil paddle through the bayous of Tarpon Springs.

Chances are that you’ll see a variety of wildlife, but sightings are random and not guaranteed.

Beau (Bo) was the best guide! We had such a fun time time kayaking with him. He is a super personable guy and made it an enjoyable time for our family. We highly recommend Get Up and Go Kayaking and Beau!

Had an awesome and peaceful morning kayak in Tarpon Springs! Hannah was a fantastic guide, pointing out all of the wildlife and getting us up close to the manatees. Learning about the city’s history was a lovely bonus. Even on a chilly and gray morning, it was absolutely worth it! Can’t wait to try out the other tours!
