The Canoe Outpost offers a variety of trips on several different waterways. The Little Manatee is where we do most of our paddling and it is also where we live but home, at least for the day, can be anywhere a paddle hits the water.

We welcome all paddlers from the solo kayaker to groups of up to 100. Boat owners needing a simple shuttle service to corporate events needing full service and catering. We also offer some specialty trips like moonlight dinner paddle trips. So, check out our trip and service offerings and come play in the waters today. What ever your paddling needs, we will work with you-and for you-to provide the best experience possible.

Our prices are per boat and not per person. All rental boat rates include service and transportation, life jackets, cushions and paddles appropriate to the boat and the paddlers. We do not charge by time as we want you to relax and enjoy yourselves. Kayaks are singles or doubles only and have limited gear space. We offer both sit in or sit on top style kayaks that are designed to be very stable. Call us if you have specific occupancy or load questions. These rates cover most of our rental fleet. At times we may have specialty or high end boats available at different prices.

Times will vary depending on the trip you choose. Mouse over the “Trips” selection on the home page banner to see all available trips.

Hourly rentals are available, but we encourage you to experience a full trip, one way with the current and take advantage of our services and transportation. For rentals beginning and ending at the Canoe Outpost, the cost is $28 for a 1/2 day of up to 4 hours for a canoe or double kayak, $22 for a half day of up to 4 hours for a single kayak.

We went out on a Saturday (9/9) and it couldn't have been a better time! The weather was perfect, the water was nice and cool, the river was flowing... it was amazing. The staff were super kind and helpful (even after I knocked my daughter's cup out of her hand and spilled it on the floor). They explained everything in a way that was easy to understand - we even remembered the way certain things were discussed in our initial talk before embarking on our trip which was very helpful during the trip. The canoe and kayaks were in great shape. I would highly recommend taking this trip - such a wonderful experience.

Found a group on while searching for kayaking deals and found this gem down the road from me.nnWhat a peaceful and tranquil ride down the river. We left at 9 am. and took our time to navigate through this waterway (and since this was my first kayaking experience). The current takes you gently down the river for the first half....we may have hit a few branches along the way 😄.nnWe finished at about 3 pm, and instead of paddling back upstream, a shuttle service brings you back. It's great! We saw a manatee and many many turtles. Another group saw a gator.nnThis was an amazing first-time experience. It's so pretty. I never knew this place existed so close to me. The staff are super friendly. 👌nnBring bug spray, tanning lotion, waters, and snacks. We brought all but snacks, and there aren't any places to stop along the way to buy them. If you bring a dmall cooler, there is a Pavillion halfway down the water trail where you can stop and eat and a charcoal grill. One restroom is at this stop also.

Rented a couple kayaks just for a fun day on the river. Huge amount of kayaks on hand. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they explain everything clearly in an easy to understand way. If you've never gone before they go out of their way to make sure you're good, so don't be intimidated, it's easier than you probably think. The trip down the river was also fun. Be warned, 6 miles kayaking is a good distance if you're not used to it, bring plenty to drink and food for a small meal. You're going to be pretty tired out by the end, but it's overall very fun.

Absolutely amazing trip! Our concierge Brian was the best and set everything up for us. Would stay there again for sure!!! A+ service! Stayed in both the cabin and the RV, and both were amazing! Also, as a bonus for those dog lovers, there is a pretty sizable dog park on the property as well as other amenities.

Super friendly and helpful staff, especially John! The kayaks are not new but in great shape. The day we went it was not crowded so the trip was peaceful. Definitely will go there again.
