Gulf Shores Kayak Rental

Quick Details

Take this self guided option for a relaxing morning gliding through the lagoon searching for local wildlife at your own pace!

Please note:

All tours and rentals are now done on Little Lagoon in the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, Gulf Shores. Please do not use our online or Google Maps address…instead follow the link in your confirmation emails to the location.

Reservations are required.

This is our dream location with calm, protected, shallow waters, and is perfect for beginners and experienced alike. It is truly a hidden gem in Gulf Shores Alabama and located just a short drive from the Gulf State Park. We are the ONLY company legally permitted for commercial activity at this location.

We do not take walkups or have a shop to visit. Must be booked no later than 5pm the evening before but we recommend at least a week in advance to secure your prefered day. We split our time (based on a first come first served basis) between our 2 locations in Gulf Shores and Pensacola so last minute bookings will be hard to accommodate.

Please note: rentals must be booked by 5pm the evening prior but the sooner the better as we may cancel any dates at any time if no one is signed up. This also helps us look ahead and make sure you are booked on a good wind and weather day! We do not offer full day rentals due to the unpredictable wind and weather along the Gulf Coast. We also do not recommend this activity mid day or afternoon as the winds and heat index can be very high and unsafe. We care about your safety and do our best to make sure each guest is well taken care of and can have a safe and fun time on the water! This means that some days and times will not be available.
