About

Whether you want to rent gear and explore at your own pace or sign up for an eco or fishing tour, Adventure 30A has you covered. The outfitter is known for its paddleboard rentals, eco paddle tours, and guided fishing excursions. It's a unique way to explore the natural beauty of Santa Rosa Beach.

The founder of this outdoor outfitter is TK, who spent his early years on Lake Lanier near Atlanta fishing and boating. After high school, TK launched his first business exploring entertainment, mobile tech, and tour management. His career later took him to Las Vegas, where he excelled as a VIP Marketing Coordinator. Frequent family vacations to South Walton enticed him to move in 2000, where he combined his entrepreneurial spirit and hospitality expertise to create Adventure 30A.

Based in the charming town of Grayton Beach, Adventure 30A offers the ideal spot for unforgettable paddleboard tours. You'll glide through serene coastal dune lakes, a rare natural feature found in only a few places worldwide. The area is also home to wildlife, both in the water and the surrounding dunes. The tours let you take in the tranquil beauty of the area while providing a fun and active way to explore.

The fishing tours are also popular, with options for offshore and inshore fishing. The boats are seaworthy, and the captains are well-experienced, ensuring a safe and enjoyable water adventure.

If you prefer to set your own course, consider renting a paddleboard or a kayak. The rates are competitive, and the crew at Adventure 30A will even drop them off at your rental!

Another perk of being in Grayton is the top-rated restaurants only steps from the beach. After a morning on the water, visitors can enjoy a delicious meal at the acclaimed Red Bar.

When seeking a unique and memory-making outdoor experience, reach out to Adventure 30A.

The top draw is the sunrise tour at 7:00 a.m. on the coastal dune lakes and the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The morning hours are idyllic for crystal-clear, calm waters and the sounds and sights of nature. Also available are an Eco and Sunset Tour.

On your adventure, your guide will inform you about the area's unique ecosystem, including rare coastal dune lakes. It's not uncommon to see wildlife, like ospreys soaring overhead, fish darting beneath the surface, or a pod of dolphins playing nearby. Your tour will be educational and entertaining.

On the Sunrise and Eco Tour, you're encouraged to bring your mask and snorkel. If conditions are good, you can slip into the water and swim with the sealife. The Sunset tour offers the same perks as the other tours (minus snorkeling) but showcases the dunes and waterways when the waning light paints them with pastel hues.

The offshore fishing charter features Captain Mark and his 2016 Sea Hunt Triton 210 with a Yamaha 150. The boat can take up to four people, and the deep gunwales make it feel safe and comfortable. The Yeti coolers keep your drinks and food cold, while the two iced fish boxes will keep your fish and filets fresh.

Fish the Choctawhatchee Bay on an in-shore fishing tour with Captain Hunter Ray. His boat is comfortable and accommodates up to 6 anglers with plenty of dry storage for your gear. Just bring snacks and drinks to store in the cooler of ice, and you're all set for a fantastic day of bay fishing.
