Central Florida/Mount Dora
Your
Guide Will Provide
A cooler
with ice to store your
lunch and beverages, a first aid kit,
drinking water, the kayaks, paddles,
PFD (life jackets), narration and
education of Florida's diverse
flora and fauna, some peace &
quiet on the water and
a great time!
To prepare for your excursion,
here is a quick checklist of items
you will need
to bring:
1. Your lunch (depending upon trip
time and duration)
2. Non-alcoholic beverages
3. Sun block
4. Proper water attire & a change of
clothes is always a good thing
to
have...just in case
5. Water shoes (old sneakers will
do just fine as well)
6. Sun glasses
It's always good to dress in layers.
That is a great way to maximize your comfort. During the warmer months,
you might want to bring an extra
set of clothes with you and a towel.
That way you are prepared if you
decide to cool off in the water..
Photographers Tour
This is a tour for the serious
photographer. We have the ability
to access some of the most pristine waterways early in the morning and
late in the evening when photo
taking is at it's best. So, for the photographer who wants to hire
a guide for the day, we offer a
package that includes being introduced
to the wildlife and waters in our tandem
kayak. You paddle very little if at all,
let the guide take you to the wildlife
and you take the photographs!
Half day $100.00 or
Full day $200.00

EEmerald
Cut
This area
hasn't seen people in years. It offers breath taking scenery and quiet
areas to just relax and enjoy... any time of year. It's a swift upstream
paddle but the trip back downstream is great fun. Located in Apopka,
it's a quick trip from Orlando and a great 2-3 hour tour.
Level of Difficulty: Previous
Experience Necessary $59.00
Wekiva River
Paddle up to Wilson Landing or to Wekiva
Falls. Either way, it is a beautiful tour. Three springs pour into this
pristine river. The Great Egret, American Bittern, Woodpeckers, Great
Blue Heron, as well as many other Herons and waterfowl flourish on this
river. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker at one time called this home. These
shallow waters create a fantastic environment for many different species
of plants, fish and other wildlife.
Level of
Difficulty: No Experience Necessary $59.00 or
$89.00 depending on the
tour you choose
Lil' Amazon
Come paddle one of Lake County’s
hidden gems. This river lazily takes
you back in time. With Emeralda
Island Bird Sanctuary to the East and Lake Griffin to the West, it’s a
wildlife odyssey. All forms of wading birds
make this area home for the winter.
Look close for rarities such as Black Crowned Night Herons, Limpkins,
Wood Storks and maybe even a
Purple Gallinule, they are all here!
Bald Eagles, Red Tailed and Red Shouldered Hawks and Owls of all
sorts are often seen as well. If you
want to see the other Florida, this is it!
Level of Difficulty: No
Experience Necessary $89.00
Rock Springs Run
The river meanders through
enchanted forests as well as wide open savannas. The water is crystal
clear and home to many types of fish and wading birds. You'll also have
a chance to see raccoon, bobcat, turtles etc.
There are many places to stop
and relax or if you choose to, go for a swim. Being close to Orlando
also makes this a favorite. It is a great 4-5 hour trip.
Level of Difficulty:
Previous Experience Necessary $ 89.00
Silver River
Exceptionally scenic! Some twists and turns of
this river can reach depths of over 25 ft and it’s so clear that you
can see the bottom at any depth. You will definitely hone your
paddling skills going upstream but a first magnitude spring makes the
trip back a breeze! You’ll have a chance to see lots of wildlife;
otters, wading birds, hawks, owls, raccoons, wild pigs and more. See
giant garfish, armored catfish, bowfin and maybe
even a monkey or 12.
Level of Difficulty:
Must be In Good Shape or you will be when you’re done $99.00
