You are going to get wet. Wear water shoes. Wear a hat and sunscreen and sunglasses. Have an interest in the local wildlife. Enjoy Kayaking.

I was expecting to see Clearwater and wild life like Dolphins. Was disappointed because water was not clear, no wildlife except birds ☹️

Very pleasant experience, you should know that you will be paddling for two and half hours so if you are in good shape and up for that, it’s pretty cool! The guide takes you out to a bird mangrove island. It is hard to hear anything she says about the area unless you are kayaking next to her.

Guide was fun and knowledgeable and gave excellent directions. Small group experience was perfect. Would do it again for sunset.

You need to be strong and know how to double paddle with your partner. It was a lot of with you paddle across the ocean.

Sunset kayak - I’ve been kayaking multiple times and wouldn’t say this was the best in terms of equipment, professionalism or what we expected. We had bad luck with it being a sunny but very chilly winter day once the sun set, and we did not see a single water animal, just birds which is nobody’s fault. But we hoped to see the ocean and wildlife through the see through plastic kayaks but you end up kayaking in a channel that is rather murky and has boat traffic, which defeats the point of a glass kayak. The kayak seat was very uncomfortable about halfway in, we kept having to shift our bodies, and the tour is 2.5hrs - roughly 3.5 miles - which is quite a lot especially on a cold day and with wind it was taxing having to row back. Our guide was knowledgeable in his bird and water species, and well versed in water rescue if needed which was great, but he talked so low with the wind we missed half of what he said and often had to ask to confirm directions so we knew where to steer (we were the only kayak on the tour…). At times his directions were confusing and seemed spontaneous. He seemed to not read the room well, we repeatedly towards the end mentioned how cold and soaked we are (my toes were numb) and he kept storytelling instead of steering us back the fastest way. I’m not sure if this was his first tour for this company but it kinda seemed like it. At the end it took him a minute to know in the dark where our ramp was, and despite shivering I ended up having to help him carry and mount the kayak on his trailer as he worked alone. I’ve never experienced that. Also - there’s no office, they use a public ramp. He took plenty of photos of us which was nice, but I wouldn’t book this exact tour again.

Justin was an amazing guide! We had an awesome time at the 8am tour. The tide was low and we kayaked alongside a curious dolphin for about 30 minutes. It was AWESOME. Then we went to a sand bar island and found horse conchs and tons of shells. It was an amazing time.
Caitlyn_S, Sep 2025
Our guide was fantastic, knew the area well and had a cool spot for us to check out, where we found multiple shells and sandbars. We spotted lots of crabs and the bird wildlife. Was a 10/10 experience and worth the trip !
Gannon_F, Aug 2025
Great, was about 3hrs. Braeleigh was great and very knowledgeable. Not a tourist trap, I’d argue it’s the opposite. Can’t see much in clear kayak but open your eyes and look around.
Megan_V, Aug 2025
We received a text at 12:15pm from our tour guide confirming the meeting point & wavers to sign. We arrived at 1:30pm for our 2pm tour unbeknownst to us there was a cancellation email sent at 1:22pm (with no explanation for the cancellation) so we sat & waited until 2:30pm very disappointed, had we known sooner we would have booked something else, we only had a day & a half in Clearwater as I was here for work.
Thanh_D, Aug 2025
So fun. I would definitely recommend it. Our tour guide was super helpful and friendly. She taught us how to paddle. How to deal with waves
Deborah_S, Aug 2025
Guide was extremely knowledgeable pointing out local landmarks and animals during the trip. I would definitely recommend this activity to everyone.
Maohao_h, Jul 2025
It was a good experience。 The water is very calm。 The guide is very knowledgeable and friendly。 We went to a small island in the bay with large number of birds。 We got to swim and see some dolphins jump out of water。 Our boat took in too much water and the guide saved us by dragging us back to shore. She took some picture for us and sent the pictures next day. Very fun and memorable。

We didn’t see much sealife, but it was still a beautiful and amazing experience. Our guide, Sage, was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to! He knew a lot about the area and gave us recs for food and other places to visit! 10/10 experience!
Henry_S, Apr 2025
What a great opportunity to observe plants and animals under the water while paddling through different areas.
Tom_S, Apr 2025
Was hoping to see more swimming marine life but the mollusk area was cool. Alicia was a very good guide
Chelsea_A, Apr 2025
This was a great experience. Definitely a workout 😂. But still fun. Me and my partner had a nice time learning how to kayak together. Our tour guide was also just as amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly and cool. Definitely would recommend this experience.
Cristina_H, Jan 2025
Braeleigh was the best guide! So fun and full of knowledge regarding the area and birds… we would definitely do this again.
Andy_F, Aug 2024
This was our first time to the Clearwater area. We had an amazing time at Kayaking Clear through Clearwater. Alicia was there to greet us and was our guide on the tour. She’s very knowledgeable and would highly recommend to anyone. Hope to come back and do it again someday.

Bridget was a great tour guide and very informative. However, some of the seats on the kayaks need to be fixed.
Jay_C, Feb 2024
Tour guide was excellent. Clear bottom kayaks were great. My family had a great time and got a nice workout.
Meredith_B, Dec 2023
Abraham was an awesome tour guide. Docking a star because our kayak had a broken rudder and we were forced to row on only one side to be able to move forward. To say we were tired and sore would be an understatement 😂 Also we didn’t see any marine life, just a bunch of birds.
Megan_H, Oct 2023
Have been on a kayak tour before and loved it, so was looking forward to this but wasn't really enjoyable for us. Seats were flat on bottom of kayak and kept sliding around making it hard to paddle effectively. My mom was so uncomfortable and kept getting leg cramps. We ended up not even finishing the tour. Got dropped off on a mucky beach area to get picked up and my mom slipped and fell in the mud. Also felt like the group was too far ahead so couldn't really enjoy ourselves trying to play catch up with everyone. Overall not worth it for us.
Steve_P, Sep 2023
Great experience overall, our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Get ready for a workout!
Concetta_L, Jul 2023
Tom was very knowledgable! He took his time and explained to us beginners the safe way to Kayak. He made sure we were safe once out in the water! Highly recommend!
Karen_L, Jun 2023
We had a great time! Tommy was a well informed guide. So knowledgeable about the area. He took us to a tiny island where you could go in the water, take photos and just hang out.. I would definitely recommend taking the tour !
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're delighted to hear that you had a fantastic time on the tour with our knowledgeable guide, Tommy. The visit to the tiny island for water activities, photos, and relaxation sounds like a highlight. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on another tour!
