Delaware’s outer coastal plain is an intricate ecosystem where humans and their environment intertwine. If you’ve ever wondered what secrets our many salt marshes hold, this wildlife kayak tour through the Burton Island area is just the adventure you’re looking for.
The Burton Island ecosystem is a complicated and detailed salt marsh habitat that is home to many animals, from oysters and clams to herons and egrets. Turtles nest in the grasses and on sand bars, and horseshoe crabs come here to feed, too.
Spend almost two hours on this relaxing kayak tour. Whether you head out under the summer sun or after the weather begins to cool off, you'll find yourself enjoying every minute on the water.
The minimum age for paddlers is 7 years old, and kids 12 and up can kayak on their own. Kids between ages 7-11 will need to be in a tandem kayak with an adult, and their tickets are discounted by $10.
The kayak tour launch site is conveinent to Rehoobth Beach, Bethany Beach, Dewey Beach, Fenwick Island, and Ocean City, Maryland, too. If you're looking for something fun to do on the Delaware coast, it's hard to beat.
Make a reservation and head out for an exciting paddle through a marshland that's both serene and bursting with life and you'll truly learn to appreciate our salt marshes and outer coastal planes.
