The evenings are beautiful in Crystal River.  The sunsets over King’s Bay and the Gulf of Mexico are picture perfect.  Come experience this in a canoe or kayak. 

Our interpretive guide takes you on an unforgettable experience. Learn how the natives of the area fished, hunted and lived during the period before condomiums, seawalls, and golf courses. Learn how nature has changed in our area over the millennia. How does salt water intrusion occur in our drinking water? What can we do to stop it?

Paddle out as the sun is setting. You’ll have a chance to possibly see dolphins hunting and feeding for their dinner, and manatees as they frolic below your kayak. We continue our paddle, viewing nature as it settles in for the night.  As night-time increases and the sun sets, we may watch the moon as it comes up in the horizon.

Certain months we conclude our evening paddle with a wine tasting and cheese hors de vours at a local winery.

When shuttling occurs, there's no need to worry about your car, boat, or time, as we take care of everything.  At the close of the evening you’ll have your vehicle there at the take out spot because we shuttle you at the beginning of the kayak tour.

The sky is full of lights besides the moon.  During the evening phase of the Kayak Moonlight paddle tour, see Saturn as it appears in as a yellowish “star” just below the “Snow Moon.”  Prycyon will shine off to its right. In May come we experienced a “Blue Moon” as it only happens about every 3 years. The “Thunder Moon” was in July and boy did it ever!

The fee for all this is only $40.  Need a boat? No probelem as kayak rentals and canoe rentals are available for $10 per person. 

    There are only a limited number of spots available, so make your reservations early.
