Adventure Kayaking to Bio Bay or Central Wetlands

Activity/Tour

Our kayak tours appeal to many people for many reasons. The tours are small group with personalized services and visit areas of Grand Cayman that most people will never see. During the Mangrove Adventure Kayak tours, we explore the unique habitat of our Central Wetlands. The Central Wetlands are vital to our diving and snorkeling industry as they serve as a giant nursery for the marine life. This is only one of their many important functions. While in the wetlands we will be observing some unique creatures to the area- mangrove whelks, oysters, crabs, and upside jelly fish. There is a plethora of algae on the roots and sea floor and the clear calm waters of the wetlands will allow for easy observation. We keep a keen watch for young turtles and lobster too.On our Sunset Tour, a condensed version of the Mangrove Tour is taken, followed by a relaxing paddle down the sheltered coast to an ideal spot to watch the sun set on the horizon. We consider this tour to be ideal for first time paddlers, or people who enjoy the warmth and peacefulness of being on the Caribbean Sea at sun set. In the summer months, we will also observe the juvenile and adult turtles who utilize the area for their feeding and breeding grounds. Finally, in the evening on our Bio Cove Kayak Adeventure we offer a trip to see one of nature's little secrets. A longer, more vigorous paddle, this tour would not be considered for the first time kayaker or someone not comfortable on the sea. We go out on the darkest nights, as it makes for ideal star gazing, and perfect for interaction with the bioluminescence in the sea. While in the Cove, our paddles will stir the algae, creating an incredibly strong light below. The tour is informative and educational introducing you to a relatively unknown underwater secret. The cove is also feeding grounds for various fish and eagle rays so during the tour you may get to view them in action under you while they light up as they swim.
