Canoeing and Kayaking in Miami


Miami-Dade Parks offers a variety of EcoAdventure Tours, including canoeing and kayaking on Biscayne Bay. The Deering Estate offers naturalist-guided canoe trips on Sunday mornings. On the trip, you will canoe to Chicken Key, a seven-acre mangrove island and restored bird rookery, which is located one mile offshore from the Deering Estate. Keep a look out for the manatees and sea turtles, as well as other marine wildlife along the way. The canoe trip is from 8:00 am to 11:00 am and is $25 for adults and $15 for children ages 9-14.

Interested is trying something different? Then checkout the Moonlight Canoe Tour also at the Deering Estate. You will canoe to Chicken Key under the light of the full moon. This night-time adventure includes a camp-fire and light snacks on the island. The moonlight canoe trip is from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm and is $35. You must be 18 years and older for this trip. Helpful hint: reserve your space early because this trip is sold out months in advance.

Kayak rentals are available on weekends from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Deering Estate. The cost for adults is $10 per hour plus regular park admission. The cost for children, ages 9-15, is $8 per hour plus regular park admission.

Some of the best, safest, and most accessible kayaking is off of Rickenbacker Causeway, just South of Downtown Miami. Check out kayakingmiami.com, the company is Sailboards Miami Windsurf School & Kayak Center. They are licensed by Miami Dade and have been there forever. Good prices, friendly staff, and fun. Hang on a sandbar, paddle around Vizcaya--all great places.

Accessible outdoors make it a preferred spot for a vacation. Choose activities you would love to do or have some long island used boats to cruise around.
