We hired a double kayak (two people in one) for about an hour and had a great time paddling around the bay. It was self-guided, which gave us the freedom to go at our own pace and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We even spotted a turtle’s head pop up — a nice little surprise! The experience was a good mix of light workout and fun. The fresh air and calm water made it really refreshing. The owner was super friendly and easy to chat with :) If you're looking for something active but relaxing, this is a great way to spend an hour on the water. Definitely recommend it!
You don't need a fancy electric motor or set of sails to touch some water and see turtles up close. My wife and I never felt unsafe or 'in too deep' as we're noticeably a bit older and heavier than our 20s. Lovely owner
Seat backs would have been more comfortable. Rubber washes on all of the paddles. Friendly host.
very beautiful experience definitely recommend such a nice way to see airlie beach
