Top 3 Outdoor Activities in Jupiter, FL

1. Kayaking

Jupiter’s location brings a constant flow of tropical, blue Caribbean water to our area via the nearby Gulf Stream. This exceptionally clear, blue water is ideal for adventuring out on the 100% clear kayak tours hosted by top rated, Get Up And Go Kayaking – Jupiter. With small groups and knowledgeable local guides, even inexperienced paddlers can enjoy an ecotour in the clear kayaks to discover local history, see wildlife like manatees, sea turtles, rays, sea stars, conch, pelicans, osprey, herons, egrets and more. The underwater world is your view with every paddle or look above the water for birds, mangroves, mansions and yachts. This experience truly gives you the best of Jupiter in one outing. Get Up And Go Kayaking – Jupiter is located right next to the historic Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse which is another worthwhile stop while you’re in the Jupiter/West Palm Beach area.

2. Swimming

Bring the kids, or just yourself and spend the day at DuBois Park. This lagoon sits next to the Jupiter Inlet and also enjoys the benefits of the clear, blue water being brought in from the Caribbean via the Gulf Stream.
