3.Guided Clear Kayak Eco-Tour of Jupiter

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 601 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $89

Paddle a transparent kayak through Jupiter’s mangroves, the Indian River Lagoon, and calm waters near the Jupiter Lighthouse. Guides such as Adam, Dustin, Toni, and Mark point out manatees, turtles, starfish, conchs, stingrays, and birds while explaining the local ecosystem. Groups are capped at 10, and the tour lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours.

“Mark was personable, friendly and knowledgeable. However we expected the experience to be guided and more structured. We went out into the beautiful water, crossed the channel, stopped on the shore for a bit then came back. The boats were nice, the area was lovely, and we understood that there’s no control of what wildlife would be seen. Ultimately we could have rented kayaks and gone out on our own for far less money.”

“Nothing but great things to say about our kayak tour with Todd. The kayaks were easy to maneuver but it was the Todd’s narrative and wit that made the tour special. Even though we didn’t see a lot of wildlife, Todd pointed out many interesting specimens. He explained so much about the mangroves and their value to the environment. Fabulous couple of hours - Get Up and Go!”
