Ride and Paddle at The Bay (Guided Tour)

Experience The Bay from the water! Explore the restored mangroves and other flora and fauna of The Bay on this free, intermediate-level guided kayak tour led by one of Ride & Paddle’s experienced guides (a $60 value!).

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.

Important Information

• Age Requirements: This ride is only recommended for children 12 years and older. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• Kayaks and life jackets are provided.
• 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.

IF YOUR PLANS CHANGE: Space is very limited and due to popular demand, and there is a growing waitlist. As a courtesy to other park guests, please quickly cancel your Eventbrite reservation if you are no longer able to attend so your spot can be released to someone else.
