Explore Bermuda's diverse marine ecosystem on a kayaking eco-tour! Enjoy a fully narrated tour along the island's shoreline and keep an eye out for the diverse flora and fauna that inhabits the area. You'll also have time to relax on a quiet beach and go for a refreshing swim before the end of the tour.
After meeting your tour guide at the dockyard, set off on a scenic sightseeing cruise that will take you to the kayaking site. After disembarking, receive a brief overview and safety instruction from your guide, and then hop in your ocean kayak and begin your eco-tour!
Start with an easy introduction with a short practice session. Then, follow your expert guide out into the open water. Pass through Paradise Lakes, a breathtaking sheltered waterway surrounded by small coves and many islands. Learn about the eco-reserve area, Daniel Head, as you kayak close to shoreline. Keep an eye out for native plants and marine life as you admire Bermuda's rocky coastline.
Then enjoy a refreshing swim and relax on the beach with complimentary beverages before making your way back to your starting point.
Tour guides Jade, Allie, and Jono were fantastic! They told some great historical stories while we rode out to the beach, and while we stopped at a few rest points along the trip. Would give this tour more than 5 stars if I could!

Boat ride to kayaking spot was fun. Got to see lots of sea turtles and learned a little history about Bermuda while kayaking. Scenery was beautiful, kayaking not too strenuous. Guides were knowledgeable and friendly, a great trip.

Could have been better. Strong wind. Large group. One paddle was too short and there wasn't time to adjust the seat back before we left. Got to beach too late to hear kayaking instructions. We were usually among the last kayaks and missed most of the eco talks. No time to photograph rock formations as we were paddling. But the boat capt. was humorous and so were the staff. Took a 45 cab ride to get there in time to leave. This was mostly oriented toward cruise passengers and not those of us staying on land.

Enjoyed the kayaking. The leader was very informative and entertaining. The beach area that was mentioned in the initial ad was a little disappointing---they may want to pick up some of the litter. My husband and I are both 65 and found the activity not difficult. We had never used a kayak where you sit on top, but it was easy and the excursion leader helped us adjust the seat backs which made the ride very comfortable.

We haven't done a group kayak tour so wasn't expecting much. We were met on time by Dean and taken to the pontoon boat. It was a full boat from cruise ships. We sailed to the beach, past ship wreck and reefs with commentary on where we were and general area and history of Bermuda. Once at beach, we were given paddles, vests and there was a shed in which to lock up personal items. It's a nice little beach. The kayaks are sit-on-tops, tandems with small viewing windows between each paddler's legs. They are not comfortable, especially if you have lower back problems, but they are very stable. Dean lead us out and along the coast line, stopping in shaded areas to tell us about locals and point out houses, etc. He's a very good guide. There is little boat traffic so there were very few wakes, quite flat. We paddled to where the sea turtles congregate and saw a lot of them, which is near the smallest draw bridge. The paddle back was non-stop. We had a little time to swim before reboarding the pontoon where we were given soft drinks and sailed back the way we came. We enjoyed the paddle which was about an hour and a half. We are experienced kayakers so it was an easy paddle. Those with little or no experience struggled a little but we did not have to wait for them, we could paddle at our own speeds. For a group tour, it really couldn't have been better. That said, if you have transport, there are plenty of places to rent a kayak and paddle on your own safely.

The trip itself was very good. However, the tour leader gave the impression he was just doing the job and it was not something he was really enjoying. The day was windy and overcast but the place we went was very protected so it was not a problem. We could not hear what the tour leader was saying a lot of the time - he did not make an effort to ensure that people could hear him. There was a disabled man on the tour and he was not given any special consideration. the tour leader went on ahead but the other tour guide did not stay at the rear of the group to ensure that no one needed assistance. Luckily, everyone coped OK.

The journey from the Royal Naval Dockyards was entertaining and educational, and the fun banter between Dean and Stephan (sic) was lighthearted and fun. They were personable and engaging, and made the kayak ride thoroughly enjoyable. We made it back in time to enjoy the warm crystal clear waters of Tobacco Bay Beach. I would definitely recommend this tour if you have a few hours to spare, and want to enjoy the gorgeous weather in Bermuda.

wonderful Dean was great
Review by: Benjamin B, August 2013
Dean was very knowledgeable about Bermuda. The little boat ride at the beginning gave us some history of the island as well as a chance for our kids to steer the boat. They thought that was awesome. Then we got to kayaking and did a good amount (maybe 2.5 hours) of it along the coast. We got to try to go thru rocks since it was high tide and look for sea turtles. We docked at a little beach and got to swim and explore on our own for a little and it was just the right amount. This was an awesome excursion and FYI to those on the cruise ships, you can book this tour online and avoid paying extra the ships charge. Same excursion, same great time.

WOW! This was one of the highlights of our visit to Bermuda! Guide was awesome, fun in getting out in the water and seeing the sea life up close! Everything taken care of for you, so felt very comfortable in having an ocean kayak adventure! - Gale Wayman, N.J.
