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.

Awesome day. Jay was very personable and helpful. You could tell he was happy to be there. We were the only ones to brave the chill in the morning but it was great. Manatees were everywhere. If you’re in the area I highly suggest you get out and take the tour.

Wife and I enjoyed the outing and getting to see multiple manatees in a beautiful water way surrounded by homes that some were built in the 1800's. Great day, great guide and helpful staff. Highly recommend especially for couples.
