Spring In Clam Bayou

Welcome to Kayak Nature Adventures!

Throughout the year come out and see nature’s inhabitants go about their daily activities. The majestic American Egret glides effortlessly over the mangroves… In the distance and Osprey calls… a dolphin chases his dinner through the shallows… the Otter scoots to the top of the shell mound and gazes intently at the world around him… the Night Heron gazes intently as you glide silently by…

For the photographer, sightseer, bird watcher and nature lover, or if you just like to paddle around, look and listen, KAYAK NATURE ADVENTURES will open up new avenues of enjoyment for you and all who would come to enjoy its treasures!

 Our mobile outpost allows us to offer kayak & paddleboard rental, eco & birding tours 7 days a week!

Our website has lots of stories to tell with pictures and videos too. Take some time and look around. Feel free to send us an email or comments

CLAM BAYOU TOUR… A NEW BEGINNING

Kurt Zuelsdorf of Kayak Nature Adventures invites you all to come out and take a kayak and  paddleboard trip to see the new lagoons in Clam Bayou!

“Every day is like a brand new mission to us, because the rovers move. And so we are in different locations, there is different terrain, there is different geology, there is something new to explore. We’re like Lewis and Clark going upriver and every day there’s new phenomena to see.”  – Callas

CLAM BAYOU DIVERTERS

THE BAYOU PADDLE.  Our most popular shuttle trip! Launch  a kayak from Clam Bayou Nature park and follow the map through the 160 acre mangrove estuary to see a bounty of birds, fish and marine life. Then just a short 30 minute paddle along the natural shoreline -through the fish and over the grass lies the Gulfport Waterfront district. Pull the kayak or paddleboard onto the beach and leave your shoes behind for the steps into Omaddy’s Beachfront Grille for lunch, dinner, or refreshments! (see menu here http://omaddys.com/01-2010_Menu.pdf )   * PADDLE TIME  = 2hrs

BEACH PADDLE = Launch right off Gulfport Beach and head into the rising sun and Summer breeze. Jumping mullet, soaring rays, and occasional dolphin or manatee encounters occur on this 30 minute paddle into Clam Bayou Nature Park where birds, fish, flora & fauna flourish!  Landing at the designated kayak launch site is a breeze and within yards of the Gulfport City Marina’s ship store and bath area.  * PADDLE TIME  2hrs.

EGAN PARK ISLAND HOPPER.  Egan Park on St Pete Beach is a great place to start an adventure with us!
