Kayak Fishing
Enjoy the best the Florida kayak fishing scene has to offer right here in Jacksonville!
Kayaking
Ocean, river, and creek kayaking are some the best ways to see Jacksonville and its abundant wildlife. Bring the kayak or rent one here! Guided kayak tours offer a variety of options for fitness, ecotourism, romance, and fishing.
Choose from ocean kayaking, where you can catch a glimpse of dolphins, sea turtles, and cast a reel. Or glide through the exotic wilderness of Jacksonville’s surrounding creeks, rivers, and marshes on an eco-tour. For a different view of Downtown Jax, try an urban kayaking excursion on the St. Johns River with high-rise buildings and bridges as your backdrop.
