Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & MuseumPass-by Only
One of the highlights of our Get Up and Go Kayaking tour is the breathtaking view of the historic Jupiter Lighthouse. As you glide through the serene waters of the Intracoastal Waterway, you’ll be treated to a unique perspective of this beloved landmark, perched high on the shore of the Jupiter Inlet. From the water, the lighthouse stands tall, offering a stunning contrast against the blue sky and lush coastal surroundings. Whether you're an avid photographer or simply someone who enjoys nature’s beauty, this picturesque sight is a must-see. Our knowledgeable guides will share fascinating stories about the lighthouse’s history and its role in guiding sailors safely along Florida’s rugged coastline since 1860. It’s a perfect opportunity to capture some unforgettable moments while enjoying the tranquility of the water.
On our kayak tour, you’ll have the chance to paddle through one of the most serene spots in the area: the mangrove-protected lagoon near Cato's Bridge, nestled within the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area. This hidden gem is a paradise for nature lovers, offering calm waters and an up-close look at the diverse ecosystem that thrives within the mangrove forests. As you glide through the shallow, crystal-clear waters of the lagoon, you'll experience the peaceful beauty of this protected area, where mangrove trees create a lush, green canopy overhead. The lagoon is a haven for wildlife, and our expert guides will point out native species like manatees, dolphins, and a variety of shorebirds and marine life that call this unique habitat home.
As part of our kayak tour, you'll paddle through the calm, shallow waters of the Indian River Lagoon, a pristine estuary teeming with wildlife and natural beauty. The lagoon is part of the Intracoastal Waterway and offers a peaceful, scenic route where you can spot dolphins playing, manatees gliding by, and a variety of shorebirds in their natural habitat. While exploring the lagoon, we’ll glide over to a nearby sandbar, where you can take a break, dip your toes in the water, or just soak in the view. The combination of tranquil waters, lush landscapes, and the gentle rhythm of paddling makes this segment of the tour a true highlight of your kayaking adventure.
