Visit Rockport Birding and Kayak Adventures

Welcome to Rockport Birding & Kayak Adventures! Whether Birding, Kayaking, Dolphin Watching, Sunset Cruising, Private Charters, or just getting out on the bay is your mission, you have come to the right place. Our goal is to provide a professional operation and a unique experience that you won't soon forget.

Whooping Crane Tours into the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge are our specialty from November through April. We will typically get within 100 yards of these magnificent rare birds allowing you ample time to watch them feeding on blue crabs in their natural habitat. A typical trip will produce 30 to 60 other species of birds and other wildlife.

Our experienced professional crew will point out and teach you to identify these  wonderful creatures.  We always have Nikon Binoculars and Spotting Scopes on board giving you the opportunity to try out many different models in a true birding environment.
