Sunrise Paddle - Guided Tour

A sunrise kayak trip paddling one mile upstream then floating back along Rock Springs Run with swimming opportunities

Free cancellation available
Up to 24 hours before the start time

This Sunrise Kayak Adventure on Rock Springs Run takes place in the world‑famous Emerald Cut at one of the most peaceful times of day. Before the day paddlers arrive, you will set out on a quiet sunrise paddle through the cut. The reduced crowding provides an opportunity to see more wildlife and to enjoy a more personal experience on the water.

You will paddle upstream for one mile and then enjoy a leisurely float back along the most scenic stretch of Rock Springs Run. Along the way there will be opportunities to get out of your kayak and swim. Both single kayaks (300 lb maximum) and double kayaks (450 lb maximum) are available. Children aged 2–12 must be accompanied by an adult in a double kayak. It is recommended that you bring some water and small snacks.
