Kayaking: Paddle Your Way Through the Seasons

Best Time: Spring to Early Fall (April to September)

Kayaking is a fantastic way to explore the waterways, and the best time to hit the water is from spring to early fall. During these months, the weather is warm, and the water conditions are ideal for a smooth paddle. Early spring offers blooming landscapes, while summer provides long, sunny days perfect for extended trips and cool, spring water to keep you refreshed. Fall brings cooler temperatures and return of the manatees , making it a magical time to kayak.

Snorkeling with Manatees: Dive into King’s Bay

Best Time: Winter (November to February)

For the best snorkeling with manatee experience, aim for the winter months. The water is warm, visibility is at its peak, and marine life is bustling with activity. Manatees visit the springs in large numbers during the coldest weather. Morning snorkel sessions with manatees are particularly magical, with calm waters and schools of fish. Just remember to check the tide charts and weather conditions to ensure a safe and enjoyable dive.

Airboat Tours: Glide Through Nature's Wonderland

Best Time: All Year

Airboat tours are a thrilling way to explore the wetlands, and are enjoyable year round. During this time, the temperatures are comfortable, and wildlife is more active. Winter is perfect for spotting alligators basking in the sun and winter time birds, while warmer weather brings a burst of life with blooming flora and active fauna. Early morning or late afternoon tours offer the best chances to see wildlife in action.
