About this Event

Please refrain from registering for multiple dates to ensure there is enough space to accommodate everyone interested.

Due to popular demand for free guided tours, registrations are accepted only four weeks in advance.

Where to Meet: Please go to The Bay’s ADA-accessible kayak and paddle launch located at the south-east edge of the bayou near the corner of Van Wezel Way and Blvd of the Arts.
