Adventure that brings you closer together… and closer to the natural world.

Discover how Get Up and Go Kayaking Robinson Preserve creates adventure that brings you closer together through eco-friendly clear kayak tours, wildlife protection, and conservation-focused experiences in Bradenton, Florida. Paddle with purpose and learn how every guest helps preserve this incredible coastal ecosystem.

At Get Up and Go Kayaking Robinson Preserve, we believe that adventure means more when it brings you closer together — to nature, to your loved ones, and to the places you explore. Robinson Preserve isn’t just a scenic backdrop for a fun day on the water. It’s a thriving ecosystem of mangroves, salt marshes, winding tidal creeks, and unforgettable wildlife found right here in Bradenton, Florida.

Each time we launch a clear kayak, we’re dedicated to protecting these waterways and the wildlife that depend on them.

Every Tour with Purpose

Our clear kayak tours create adventure that brings you closer together by helping everyone understand why this place is so special.

As you paddle, our certified local guides share stories about Robinson Preserve’s ecosystem — from how mangrove roots protect the shoreline to how manatees, rays, and dolphins rely on clean water to survive.

By making these connections, guests begin to see how simple actions — from packing out all trash to choosing reef-safe sunscreen — support the long-term health of Florida’s fragile coastal environments.

Eco-Friendly Clear Kayaking: Designed to Protect

Our transparent kayaks aren’t just a fun way to explore — they’re part of our conservation values. Because they’re human-powered and low-impact, they allow paddlers to get incredibly close to wildlife without disturbing their habitat.

We also cap our tour sizes to minimize environmental impact and ensure each guest has a more personal, educational, and inspiring experience.

It’s immersive, it’s meaningful, and it’s an adventure that brings you closer together — responsibly.

Supporting Local Conservation Efforts

We believe preserving Florida’s wild spaces requires all of us — so we partner with local and statewide conservation groups working to protect our waterways and wildlife. From mangrove restoration efforts to coastal education programs, we give back to the ecosystems that make our tours possible.

A portion of every tour supports manatee conservation and marine science education programs. When you paddle with us, you’re directly contributing to the health of Robinson Preserve and the species that call it home.

Education Through Experience

The most powerful conservation tool is connection.

When guests see a manatee gliding beneath their kayak or watch a yellow-crowned night heron stalking its breakfast along the mangroves, something shifts. They leave with a deeper appreciation of Florida’s wild places — and that appreciation often inspires real change.

For many, this experience becomes the moment that sparks more eco-friendly travel choices, volunteering, or supporting environmental protection laws.

This is an adventure that brings you closer  — not just to nature, but to the shared responsibility of protecting it.

Small Changes, Big Impact

Anyone can help protect Robinson Preserve — and together, small actions add up. Here are a few easy ways our guests make a difference every day:

• Bring reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastics.
• Stay on designated water trails to protect sensitive habitats.
• Use reef-safe sunscreen safe for marine life.
• Take only photos — leave only ripples.

When every paddler does their part, the positive impact reaches far beyond the preserve.

Paddle with Purpose

When you join a clear kayak tour at Robinson Preserve, you’re choosing more than an outdoor activity. You’re choosing adventure that brings you closer — with your family, with nature, and with Florida’s most precious coastal ecosystems.

Thank you for paddling with purpose and being part of the ongoing protection of Robinson Preserve. We’re grateful to share these waters with you — and even more grateful to protect them alongside you.
