Discover Tampa in a whole new light and explore our city from the seat of a kayak along the wonderful Hillsborough River and Hillsborough Bay.

There is no better time of year to be out enjoying the great outdoors – the oppressive summer heat is gone, the sun shines down and cool breezes caress the skin. It’s the perfect weather to explore and sightsee while getting some gentle exercise.

Channelside Watersports in downtown Tampa has everything you’ll need to make the most of the beautiful waters of the Bay Area. Cruise Tampa’s River Walk from the water for a change, explore Channelside, or sightsee some of the magnificent architecture along Davis Island’s waterfront. Paddle past Bayshore Blvd. across the upper Hillsborough Bay keeping a lookout for dolphins (a common sighting) or go further up the Hillsborough River and take in the views and spectacular wildlife living there. Seeing the world from a kayak is a magical experience and one you’ll want to do again and again.

We’ve been blessed with an abundance of natural beauty in the Bay Area, so make the most of it and get to know the side of Tampa you’ve never seen before.
