Quick Details
Fun for the whole family!
Please note: Due to staffing issues, our kayak tours have an extremely limited availability. IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE IN THE WATER, AND EVERYONE IN YOUR PARTY CAN SWIM, YOU DO NOT NEED A GUIDE FOR THIS LOCATION. VISIT OUR KAYAK RENTAL PAGE FOR THE SELF GUIDED OPTION AND EXPLORE THIS BEAUTIFUL NATURE PRESERVE AT YOUR OWN PACE. We recommend this option for most anyway and we tell you exactly where to go and what to do in the pre-paddle safety briefing. We also help you launch the kayaks and give you a mini lesson on kayaking. Self guided rentals available daily!
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.
