Highlights

When you arrive at the meeting point, your guide will greet you with a quick, easy introduction to kayaking. We’ll take time to get everyone comfortable in their kayak, so you’re ready to paddle with ease. Then we’ll head out on a peaceful 4.5-mile journey, weaving through a maze of calm channels and winding waterways. This tour is different from your Pensacola Beach adventure, here it’s all about serenity. No boat engines or busy beaches, just the soothing sounds of nature all around you. If we’re quiet enough, we might spot turtles basking in the sun, hear birds calling, and on rare occasions a shy alligator slipping through the water. About halfway through, we’ll pause for snacks and water while you take in views. By the time we circle back to the launch, you’ll feel refreshed, recharged, and a little more connected to the wild side of Florida.

About Destin

Destin is a Florida Panhandle resort town on the Emerald Coast, known for white sand, green Gulf water, a fishing fleet and a sandbar called Crab Island.

Destin lies on a narrow neck of land between the Gulf and Choctawhatchee Bay on the Florida Panhandle, in an area called the Emerald Coast for its green water. The beaches are made of fine white quartz sand that squeaks underfoot, and low dunes are covered in sea oats. The town was founded by Leonard Destin, a fisherman who settled here in the 1840s, and it still calls itself the world's luckiest fishing village.

Top-ranked sights in Destin: HarborWalk Village, Destin Harbor Boardwalk.
