About this experience

Ages 11 and younger are free!

For outdoor water sports enthusiasts! Embark on this full-day kayaking journey that checks all the boxes! Our 10-mile journey combines the best of both worlds: 5 miles of paddling, 5 miles of smooth motorized propulsion.

Experience the beauty of nature as you launch from a prehistoric archaeological and aquatic preserve into a tropical mangrove jungle and six hours later, arrive at the beaches of the modern Fort Pierce ocean inlet. Navigate through enchanting narrow, dense canopied mangrove tunnels, winding trails and watery passages that transport you through a world untouched by time.

Glide over sandbars and shallow flats, explore the lagoon teeming with tropical plants, diverse marine and avian wildlife.

Stop at a historic waterside restaurant, a perfect time to recharge with a lunch and drinks (available to purchase).

Swim at the ocean inlet getting ready for the return trip and enjoy the return with our efficient motorized propulsion system.
