Paddle Lake Powell in a clear tandem kayak, spot wildlife, and swim where the coastal dune lake meets the Gulf of Mexico.

About this tour

Paddle into the quiet beauty of Lake Powell, North America’s largest coastal dune lake, on a Panama City Beach Clear Kayak Tour. From a transparent tandem kayak, watch fish move beneath the surface and scan the shoreline for coastal birds, turtles, and crabs. Your guide shares stories about the lake’s unusual ecology, plants, wildlife, and shifting waters.

Follow dune-fringed shores and marshy flats before stopping at the beach where Lake Powell meets the Gulf of Mexico. Take time to swim where fresh and salt water converge, and enjoy a close-up look at a rare coastal landscape. Water clarity and color can change with natural tannins, sediment, and tides, so each outing reveals a different side of the lake. Small groups of around 10–12 make it easier to hear your guide and enjoy the scenery at an unhurried pace.

Your kayak, safety gear, dry bag, and sunscreen are provided. Arrive early, bring water and swimwear, and get ready to experience Panama City Beach Clear Kayak Tour on Lake Powell from a fresh perspective. Reserve your paddle and discover this distinctive stretch of the Emerald Coast.
