This tour transports you back in time to a wilder Florida to experience the estuary up close. Birds (egrets, herons, osprey, pelicans, and more), and sea life abound. There are no alligators in these waters though as the salinity doesn't agree with them. It is possible to spot dolphins and the occasional manatee. We paddle mostly through sheltered channels with a bit of open water for variety. . The tour can be customized to include a bike ride after the paddle through a couple parks and a 1/2 mile boardwalk stroll over a bird preserve, passing lakes and climbing a tall tower for a 360 degree view. At the end of the tour relax with a cold beer or cocktail by the water at a great Tiki hut.
Wind direction and tide will determine start and end of the tour. I will pick you up at your hotel or lodging and transport you to the start of the tour. This leisurely tour can be customized to your desires and abilities. We will be passing Rio Vista park, Riviera Bay, and Weedon Island. You will see wooded parks, canopied channels through the mangroves, a bit of open water, and a wooden boardwalk over a bird preserve. This is the habitat of many different Florida birds such as blue herons, cranes, and anhingas, as well as plenty of flying fish…. remember to duck! I am an experienced kayaker and have been paddling this area most of my life so this will not just follow a designated kayak trail. After the trip we will finish off at a great little beach tiki type bar/restaurant on the water for a cold beer, bite, or cocktail.
