2018-2019 Bay Wise Kayak Tours

Two Kayaks on Jewfish Key January 2018

Thanks for joining us for ten years of Bay Wise Kayak Tours! The mission of the Bay Wise Kayak Tours program is to introduce people to unique perspectives of Sarasota Bay and to encourage stewardship and understanding of the Bay's natural resources.

This year, we're excited to sponsor several new trips to different Bay hotspots and backwaters. Registration for these dates will open one month in advance of the tour.

Bay Wise Kayak Tours are free, but participants must bring their own kayaks, paddles, PFDs, and gear.
