Weeki Fresh Water Adventures

Welcome to our Introduction to Kayaking series, twelve short lessons filmed right here on the Weeki Wachee River to get you ready before you ever touch a paddle. First up: your kayak. Sit-on-top, sit-inside, or a paddleboard, the river doesn't ask you to pick a side, just a ride. Take a minute to figure out which one's yours before you book.

The river has a secret this October, and it involves broomsticks, paddles, and the best kind of Old Florida spooky. We're calling it the Witches Paddle, our first annual Halloween morning on the Weeki Wachee River, October 31st from 7am to 10am.

POV: you finally made it to Buccaneer Bay this weekend.

Slides, splash zones, and a lazy river that does not rush you anywhere. Grab a cabana, claim your shade, and let the day figure itself out from there.

This is what the weekend is supposed to feel like.
