Our Friends In The Peace River
That's Brenda. Say hi to Brenda. Just one of our friends you have the opportunity to meet on a kayak eco tour down the scenic "Peace River." Let our guide, Steve, paddle you through a little slice of old Florida and experience the raw beauty the way Juan Ponce De Leon did 500 years ago!
Kayak Eco Tours
Serene. The still waters of the Peace River wash away your worries. Paddle with all your favorite people, in single, or double "tandem" kayaks. Steve can accommodate up to 20 passengers at a time on a tour. Steve is full of local knowledge and history about the area, you'll leave your eco-tour with an enriched appreciation for old Florida, it's wildlife, and preservation.
That right there is a roseate spoonbill. A rare bird native to Florida, Louisiana, and Texas. Only 1,100 pairs nest here in Florida. And Florida's pretty big. They're aptly named "spoonbills" because of the shape of their beak. They walk through shallow water with their long legs and scoop up little bait fishies with their "spoon-like" beak.
They typically flock together. This guy is just a gnarly loner roseate spoonbill. Spoonbills are basically miniature Florida flamingos. This picture was taken on a cool, sunny, day in January.
You'll be fully equipped with everything you need for an excellent eco-tour the moment your put in the water. Steve provides a life-vest, your trusty dual rudder paddle, a safety whistle in case you get lost, and even has bottled water to help keep you cool in the Punta Gorda sun.
PRO TIP: Wear light clothing. In the summer, spring, and fall, you'll cook in the Florida heat. I'd also wear clothes you don't mind getting wet in.
Will I Get Eaten?
No. Frequently asked question though. Florida natives know gators are just lil' ol' swamp puppies and as long as people don't feed them they're harmless. So don't feed them, and you'll be fine. Steve has been operating his kayak eco tours for many years, and has never had an incident. That's me right there. Right next to a gator.
If you know gators, you know they just like to chill and sunbathe. And people aren’t on their menu, too full of GMO’s and artificial sweeteners. But… when you see one of the swamp puppies in the wild on board a kayak you’ll just go…
W O A H … And there’ll be this tense stillness in the air.
The splooshing of your paddle stops. Your heart beat starts to race. You register in your mind your paddling face to face with 2,000 pounds of bite force. The gator looks at you with its unfeeling reptilian eyes. Blinks. Licks its scaly lips. Then you snap a pic for Facebook (tag Punta Gorda Adventures) and keep paddling. Besides Steve will protect you, this man is lethal with a kayak paddle.
Specialty Eco-Tours
Take a little trip to Caspar Beach in Sarasota County. Only an hours drive from the homebase of operations for eco tours the "Nav-A-Gator" bar and grill. You'll be able to experience a whole new array of wildlife! So don't be alarmed if a local fish swims by and says hello.
The pearly white sands of Caspar Beach make for an excellent place to start a kayak tour in. Better yet, a breathtaking sunset destination. Being in the water for sunset is great, but seeing the sun glisten and shimmer aboard a kayak, taking in all the harmonies of nature at once, is an unforgettable experience.
Get in touch with your wild side. If you love Mother Nature, you'll love the authentic experience of a Kayak Eco Tour. Some guests don't want to leave their kayak! Tours go year round, so whenever you're in town, Steve will be there waiting for you. Rather you go to tourist hotspots like Caspar Beach, or paddle down the Peace River, you'll see Florida as it was meant to be. Wild.
