Let’s explore together! I became a guide because I’ve always been passionate about the outdoors and sharing its beauty with others. There’s something magical about gliding through the water under a canopy of cypress trees or witnessing the glow of bioluminescence on a quiet night. Being a guide allows me to connect people with nature in a meaningful way—whether it’s through the stillness of a sunrise paddle, the excitement of spotting wildlife, or the awe of floating under the stars. I bring both passion and experience to every tour. I’m a Wilderness First Responder, certified in CPR and AED, ensuring safety is always a priority. I also hold a Kayak Touring Trip Leader certification and am a certified kayak instructor, so whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler, I can guide you through a smooth and enjoyable adventure on the water. I love helping guests slow down, unplug, and truly experience the world around them. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful nature escape, a unique adventure, or just a chance to reconnect with yourself and the environment, I’m here to make it special for you. If you have a special request or want a customized experience, I’m happy to tailor the tour to your needs. Whether it’s adjusting the pace, focusing on photography, or creating a private experience for your group, I’ll make sure your time on the water is unforgettable.

Your Orlando tour itinerary
📍 We'll meet at the launch site at Canaveral National Seashore close to New Smyrna Beach. I’ll greet you, go over safety and paddling basics, then we’ll launch our kayaks. 🌅 Sunset Paddle: Launching just before sunset, we’ll take in the stunning colors of the sky reflecting over the water while searching for manatees, dolphins, herons, and egrets. 🌙 Bioluminescence & Night Paddle: As darkness falls, watch dinoflagellate plankton glow with each paddle stroke. Look for darting fish, jellyfish, and a starlit sky. 🚣 Return Paddle: A relaxed journey back, soaking in the last glowing waters. As with every ToursByLocals tour, this tour is of course customizable. Please contact me using the green 'message guide' button to discuss this.
