KAYAKING

Seals pop up and gaze with inquisitive eyes, while an eagle soars overhead. The protected waters of the Southern Gulf Islands are ideal for sea kayaking. Our certified guides possess a wealth of knowledge and expertise. The paddling options are many and are suitable for both beginner and seasoned kayakers.

"I would like to thank you and especially Justin for the tour to Chocolate Beach with my office staff in September.  As residents of Louisiana, we don’t kayak through the bayous too often.  Thus we were novices and old girls too.  But it was our most memorable experience on the island.  Our group photo with the reflection in the water is everyone’s screen saver.  I can’t wait to get back to SSI and more kayaking."  Susan

"I recently went on a tour with Island Escapades (my first time in a kayak) and found the guides to be really knowledgeable about the island's history and marine life, etc. It's a great way to get up close with the coastal surroundings and create some fun memories."
