Join us for a special sunrise paddle departing from Bay Preserve! As wading birds fly through cotton candy skies and mullet splash in calm morning water, we'll make our way along the mangrove shorelines of Little Sarasota Bay to Palmer Point Park. If the skies are clear, we may observe the full moon setting over the Gulf as the sun rises in the east.
This program is suitable for individuals ages 16 and older. Children under 16 years old may attend with a parent or guardian in a tandem kayak. This is an intermediate, 2-mile roundtrip paddle across open water - prior paddling experience is strongly recommended.
Single and tandem kayaks, paddles, and life jackets are available to borrow for $25 per person. If you would like to borrow a kayak, please choose the "borrow a kayak" ticket type. Otherwise, participants must provide their own canoe, kayak, or SUP and safety gear, including a life jacket, whistle, and headlamp or flashlight.
