Explore the natural “old Florida” beauty of Stump Pass Beach State Park, Peterson Island and Whidden Key by stand up paddle board or kayak with a certified instructor. Dolphin, manatee, starfish, sponges, crab, seahorses, and hundreds of fish species are abundant in this area and the water is usually crystal clear, making spotting all these marine animals super easy. Our Coastal Florida Master Naturalist guides are full of marine and local knowledge and love to teach so expect to come back feeling like a local!
This is a once in a lifetime experience and a memory you will treasure forever. Use a kayak or stand up paddle board (SUP) to paddle a pristine mangrove tunnel with starfish, upside down jellyfish, soft coral, sponges, and seahorses. This amazing tunnel leads to a hidden lagoon where the only sound you will hear is the gulf breeze blowing through the mangroves. Then we will continue on to Don Pedro Island State Park Beach which is only accessible by boat, kayak, or paddle board so it is one of the most unspoiled and private islands in Florida. Here you will have a chance to rest and explore the beautiful beach and swim in the warm clear water. We will provide a light snack lunch of a small sandwich, chips, and water. This is also a great beach for shelling so remember to bring a bag for your treasures! On our paddle back you should keep your eyes peeled for the West Indian Manatee and dolphin pods that frequent these waters. One of the things often exclaimed by our paddlers is “This is way better than Sea World!”

Light up and paddle out and see what’s under the water in a whole new light! Have you ever been to an aquarium and stood in awe at all the creatures great and small and thought to yourself how much you wish you could be inside that aquarium? Well this tour will take you there… It’s like floating across the top of a huge saltwater aquarium and you will see magical things that are just impossible to see during the day! Your paddle board or kayak will be lighted from underneath while you float above in the dark, giving you a whole new perspective and ability to see sea creatures in a way you’ve never seen them before. We will float in shallow water and across grass flats and sandbars revealing starfish, live shells, sponges, and tons of fish species. This is an unequaled experience on the water and seats are limited and fill up quickly each week.
Important Information About This Tour
The world’s first international weekly cleanup, Ocean Hour leverages social media and technology to crowdsource cleanups around the globe on a weekly basis. The first Saturday, each month, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., no matter where you are on this planet, the Ocean Hour community will head to local beaches, rivers, lakes, and waterways around the globe to clean up trash and marine debris. We realize you can’t make it to every cleanup, but with social media and our ability to mobilize the masses, our impact is powerful even if only 10% of our community shows up on any given month. As our network continues to grow, our influence will thrive exponentially with larger turnouts each month. Whether you can make it once a month, or once a year, we invite you to join us in this movement. Every single one of us can make a difference; start the month off right and spend an hour giving back to the ocean and the waterways we love to paddle! Call for reservations.
