About this paddle

The Guided Fresh Water Creek Lagoon Tour is a two-hour guided kayak trip on the lagoon in Hopkins, Belize — beginner-friendly, on calm, flat water.

This is the water we cross to reach our island, and it's worth slowing down in. Mountains rise behind you on one side; at the other end the lagoon opens into an estuary and then the sea.

Your guide knows what lives here and where to look, and the lagoon is quiet enough that the wildlife doesn't disappear when you arrive.

It's a real paddle and you'll feel it in your arms, but no experience is needed and nobody gets left behind.

Questions guests ask

Planning your paddle

How long is the tour?

About two hours on the water.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes. The lagoon is calm, flat water and no experience is needed. It's a genuine two-hour paddle, so expect to feel it in your arms.

Where do we meet?

On the northern side of Hopkins, at the estuary where the lagoon meets the sea — locals call it Hawaii. If you're staying in Hopkins, we'll pick you up from your hotel for free.

What should I bring?

Sun protection, insect repellent (we also have natural repellent), light clothing, and shoes that can get wet and dry quickly. Bring swimwear if you'd like a swim in the sea at Hawaii afterwards, on your own time.

Can I get there from Placencia, Belize City or San Ignacio?

Yes. Add a round-trip transfer from any of the three when you book.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If we cancel because conditions are unsafe, you'll receive a refund, minus a 10% processing fee for card payments.

Are tips included?
