Kayak & SUP Tours and Rentals on St. Croix

On St. Croix, get your paddle on with a kayak or stand-up paddle (SUP) experience, either with a guide or on your own. Kayaking St. Croix is a wonderful way to explore and get exercise, as is SUP. The most popular area for kayak and SUP tours and rentals on St. Croix is at the Salt River National Park and Ecological Preserve.

In Salt River Park, you can rent a kayak or SUP and visit on your own or take a guided tour. Tours are available during the day, on full moon nights, and to see one of Salt River’s amazing ecological mysteries—its bioluminescent bay with glowing jellyfish, dinoflagellates, and glow worms. While the science of how bioluminescence works is known and not a mystery, it certainly will seem other-worldly as you see the water light up and glow around you. Visiting Bio Bay on St. Croix is one of the islands’ super cool, memorable experiences.

Beach resorts on St. Croix, like The Buccaneer, have kayaks and stand-up paddleboards available for hotel guests, and you’ll find kayak and SUP rentals at popular beaches on St. Croix, like Rainbow Beach.
