About Us

Wet Rabbit Kayaks is committed to creating a peaceful and fulfilling experience for our guests and staff despite the chaos and competition around us!

Our tours are laid back and custom led to fit the needs, wants and skill level of each group. Because we're not over-crowding our tours, we have the ability to take our time and explore areas others can't! This increases our chances of seeing wildlife that may otherwise be out of reach!

Our equipment's safety and cleanliness are held to the same standard for all tours of the day without any last-minute changes. Guests know what they're getting before they arrive and their equipment is set up and ready for them at check-in. All comfort and safety items are provided by us and cleaned/replaced daily.

Our kayaks are custom built and modified for comfort, efficiency and easy transport. Guests are never asked to carry their boats. We're equipped with extra carrying handles in various places, dry storage for guests' items and wheels for easy pulling to and from the water.

Wildlife manners are taught and practiced during all experiences with us! We provide safe and respectful viewing opportunities without disrupting the wildlife in their natural habitat. Distance, demeanor and energy are displayed and encouraged in ways that provide an up close and personal encounter without harming, frightening or disrespecting the wildlife in any way.

Wet Rabbit Kayaks is not interested in competition or nickel and diming our guests. Our pricing is fair, our equipment is top notch, and our service is unmatched! We truly love what we do and just want to share it with you!
