About This Tour
Slow down and see Gulf Shores from the water on our Guided Kayak Tour. We launch into the protected, glassy waters of Gulf State Park's lakes — perfect for first-time paddlers, families, and anyone who wants a peaceful, low-impact way to spend an hour outdoors. Your guide points out herons, ospreys, turtles, and the occasional alligator from a safe distance, and shares the story of the watershed that connects this coastline together.
