My name is Kathleen. I have tour guided for a number of years in Costa Rica as well as in the Tampa Bay area. I have also been a ghost tour guide here and know all the haunted spots. I am a St. Petersburg, Florida native and I love the outdoors and the fresh air, which we have here in abundance. I have a kayak hanging from the ceiling in my condo and take it out to the rivers or Gulf as much as possible. My bicycle occupies a prime spot in the second bedroom. I also enjoy culture, theater, and music and am pleased to say that St. Pete offers a wide variety of this sort of entertainment. My city is growing in leaps and bounds and I know every nook and cranny! I raised my son here and we explored this great city by the bay thoroughly, seeking out adventure and fun where ever it could be found. I love the beauty and bustle of the city as well as the serenity and peace of the waterways and beaches. I can show you the out-of-the-way spots that locals seek out or connect you with our thriving cultural scene. We have thirteen museums and a bounty of art venues, as well as a wonderful selection of restaurants, cafes, and lounges. Downtown St. Pete has a distinctly European flavor with its out door patios and music in the plazas. I would love to introduce you to all we have to offer. All my tours can be customized to your desires. I greatly enjoy being a tour guide and feel proud to she able to show just how wonderful my city is.

Overview of your St Petersburg tour

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.

Your St Petersburg tour itinerary

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.
