Take a guided kayak tour led by a professional kayak/naturalist guide and paddle the backwaters of the 74,000 acres that make up the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve (GTM-NERR). Leave behind the trolley trains and building-filled skylines and experience Old Florida the way our ancestors did. Our partnerships with the finest environmental education organizations in the area enable us to create a one-of-a-kind outdoor adventure for you.

No prior kayaking experience is necessary, making our trips perfect for first-time paddlers, age 6 and up. We also offer kayak rentals, enabling you to create your own special adventure, or join us to discover the unique experience of a kayak fishing tour! If paddling isn’t your style, enjoy the ride and the educational experience of an eco-explorer boat tour on Ripple Effect One, the only vegetable powered eco tour boat in Northeast Florida.
