A Guided Sunset Paddle From Our Dock
The Sunset Tour is a guided evening paddle from our dock toward Kings Bay. We leave about 1.5 hours before sunset, follow the canal route past the Three Sisters Springs area, and reach the bay as the light begins to change.
Evening water is beautiful, but it is not a time to guess about route or timing. A local guide keeps the group together, reads the conditions, and leads the same-dock return through visible dusk. Beginners are welcome, and kayaks or SUPs are available.
From Our Dock to Sunset on Kings Bay
The route moves through the protected canals, past the Three Sisters Springs area, and into Kings Bay for the sunset view. When Three Sisters is open, entering or stopping there depends on the guide, the group, conditions, sanctuary rules, and evening timing.
For this tour, the evening paddle is the point. The water quiets, reflections stretch across the bay, and the guide keeps the group in the right place at the right time before leading everyone back during visible dusk.

- Launch from our dock about 1.5 hours before sunset
