The diversity of life, paired with beautiful scenery, make kayaking this Florida location a must for vacationers and residents alike. Paddle the still mangrove backwaters as osprey soar overhead- perhaps carrying a freshly caught mullet. Cross expansive grassflats and perhaps see the lagoon's top predator- the dolphin- working the flats. Mangroves and seagrass beds create an environment very conducive to the marine life that support the osprey and dolphin, along with many other animals.

Unguided Tour: Most of the tours we offer have an unguided option. With this tour you meet us at the launch site the same as a guided tour; you arrive ½ hour earlier. Our guide will provide you with all your equipment, answer any questions you have about the area, and help you in the water. Then, you head out on your own away from the group to paddle where you would like. The guide will provide you with the return time for your trip. An unguided tour allows you to enjoy your day without the hassle of loading rental kayaks on your vehicle and fussing with the gear.
