Simply Kayaking Trips and Tours

This tour highlights the beautiful wading birds and marine creatures found in the shallow estuaries located around the Bayou. It is the perfect location for first time kayakers and families with children, as the calm waters are fully protected from the conditions of the Gulf, and the average water depth is around 3 feet. This is also our chosen locale for our Youth Camps. Children and the young at heart love to explore the island found just inside St. Joseph's Sound, where hermit crabs and star fish are found at the water's edge. Many of our favorites sights along this tour are tide dependant, so this tour is best scheduled with a high tide, when Dolphin are most often seen.

This tour highlights Spring Bayou and Tarpon Spring's Sponge Docks. Spring Bayou is the home to the Greek Orthodox Church's Epiphany Celebration held each January 6th, and is also a Winter Refuge for Manatee. Though they are often seen on our other trips, they are a constant companion on this trip during the Winter. Paddling to and around the Sponge Docks offers a different perspective than can be had by walking the shops along Dodecanese Boulevard. We put you right along side the one of the area's few remaining working Ports. Here to can be found a wide variety of wading birds in and along the Mangrove Islands within the Bayous.

Our local customers come from places like Tarpons Springs, Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, St Petersburg, Indian Rocks, Largo, Tampa, New Port Richey, Hudson, and other Tampa Bay cities. Others come from places as far away as Germany, England, South Africa, Ireland, and Canada.

We entered our 5th year of operation this May (2010). We still stand by our motto, just keep it simple. Our All Inclusive Guided Eco Tours are a testament to this. We provide the Kayak, Paddle, and PFD. Instruction is held at the beginning of each trip. We also provide boonie hats, sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, bottled water and snacks. You will find a bird and sea critter ID sheet in each kayak, as well as other little bits to make the trip fun and enjoyable. Along the way, we take digital pictures of you and your trip, and burn them to CD at the launch before you leave. This is all included.
