COVID-19 Updates

Summer 2020 – Our tours will be small groups of 8 tandem boats with 1 guide.  Kayaks remain at least 6 feet apart (the length of the kayak paddle, plus boat makes this a natural distance).  All equipment has been thoroughly disinfected before each tour. 

Except for rafts. They are 8 people per raft. You may buy all of the seats if you would like to have that to yourself. Or choose a private tour.

We encourage all guests to wear masks. Brevard county does not have a mandatory mask requirement, and as this is an outdoor activity we ask that use best judgment and please be respectful of others. If you choose not to wear a mask, please double distance.

Private Tours Available – We also have private tour options for our bioluminescence night tours. This allows you to have a custom departure time and have a guide that is dedicated to just you and your family. Please give us a call at 407-519-8711 so we can make your custom reservation.

We are ready to open May 1, 2020 or shortly thereafter, as soon as Governor De Santis lifts the Stay-at-home order. For your safety, we have strict sanitation measures in place for all equipment, we will have smaller groups than in the past, and we will be offering private tours for bioluminescence season 2020.

Currently, we are postponing all tours until we can re-open. We ask for your understanding and patience at this time. If you are curious about credits, or refunds for reservations during the Covid-19 mandatory closure, please see below for details.

March 17, 2020 Update

To ensure your safety, we sanitize all kayaking equipment prior to use. In addition, our equipment is almost constantly exposed to UV (sun) light which is a natural sanitizer that kills germs and viruses. Our tours are with small groups of people, and you can still have a great experience out on the water without touching others. Social distancing is definitely possible as kayaking forces a certain distance between participants anyway. Same goes for our biking tours; there is no need to touch anyone and handle bars and seats are sanitized prior to your use. We have sanitizer on-site, so feel free to wipe everything down yourself if extra precaution makes you feel more comfortable.

Having said that, we ask that anyone who feels ill, or has the symptoms of COVID-19 please stay home. The great outdoors and Florida wildlife will be here when you feel better.
