Clear Kayak Tour of Tarpon Springs | Manatee Season

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. You’ll launch from the Tarpon Springs Yacht Club, kayak through the bayous, see Victorian-style mansions, and pass by the picturesque Craig Park. You’ll then paddle into Spring Bayou, a warm water area with frequent manatee sightings!

Look for manatees while you take in the scenery. Manatees use the warmer water of Spring Bayou as a sanctuary during the winter months. Along the way, your guide will keep an eye out for other wildlife including dolphins and a variety of birds. Chances are that you’ll see a variety of wildlife, but sightings are random and not guaranteed.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time viewing manatees and learning about the area while kayaking with our group. Our tour guide was Hannah and she was super informative and had a real love for being out on the water and close to nature. Great way to enjoy the day and get out of the house!

Incredible trip in the spring bayou of Tarpon Springs with Hannah, a fantastic guide. We saw manatees playing and swimming all around us for at least 30 minutes. What a treat! The clear kayaks were new and in great condition. A very fun outing that I’d recommend!
