FAQs
What wildlife can I see at sunset while taking a kayaking tour in Destin?
While the area is home to many species of fish, crabs, rays, pelicans, birds, and dolphins, we can not guarantee they will appear during the tour. It is always a hope but never a guarantee! Even if wildlife does not appear during the tour, our experienced guides will make it fun as they search for wildlife and stop for photo opportunities!
What should I use a DEET-free bug spray on a kayaking tour in Destin?
A DEET-free insect repellent is recommended because it’s generally considered safer for marine environments and wildlife. Traditional repellents containing DEET can be harmful to aquatic ecosystems if they wash off into the water. Since kayaking brings you close to sensitive coastal habitats, many guides encourage environmentally friendly options such as repellents made with picaridin, lemon eucalyptus, or other plant-based ingredients. These products still provide effective protection while helping reduce impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
What level of experience is required?
Overall, tandem kayaking is a multifaceted activity that offers physical, mental, social, and environmental benefits, making it a rewarding pursuit for people of all ages and skill levels.
- We welcome paddlers of all skill levels; however, kayaking can be a physically demanding activity. Winds, tides, and weather can all impact the difficulty of the paddle. Adults paddling with a child and solo paddles require moderate physicality as you will do all the work.
- Beginners are welcome on Paddleboard tours, but moderate physicality is required.

The tours are a great family experience, and we are confident you will capture the perfect family photos of your vacation!
- Our tours are family-friendly, and children ages 5+ are welcome on our daytime, sunset, and glow tours.
- Children 6 and under are legally required to wear a life jacket while on the water. We provide lifejackets for children over 30 pounds.
- We require children 30 pounds or under to bring their own Coast Guard-approved life jackets, as the size is very specific, and safety is paramount.
- One adult must attend for every child aged 14 and under. Children under 15 cannot paddle without an adult. We recommend a moderate fitness level for those kayaking with children, as the adult will do all the work.
- We require one adult per teen, 15-17, to attend the experience and sign waivers. However, there does not have to be a one-to-one adult ratio, as required for children 14 and under.
