When you hear the words Florida and water, what usually comes to mind are pristine blue ocean waters where you can swim, and do all sorts of water sports activities. You may even think about the many different water parks that Florida boasts. But, there’s another way to experience the waters of Florida; kayaking.

The Blackwater lake tour gives adventurous visitors the opportunity to glide along an enchanting lake that’s surrounded by an even more enchanting forest. See cypress trees that are estimated to date back to before the time that Columbus landed here, and enjoy the serenity of the lake. This tour runs from 2 – 4 hours long, and there is no prior kayaking experience required.

The Dora Canal is considered an icon in the community. It is one of Florida’s oldest cypress swamps. The area is Seminole Indian country, and is home to many indigenous birds as well as other animal life. This is another magnificent 2 – 3 hour tour that requires no kayaking experience.

Wekiva River is a river that three separate springs pour into. It’s a haven for the Great Egrets, American Bittens, Great Blue Heron and a host of other birdlife. The view of this shallow river is spectacular and includes beautiful plant life, and wildlife. You can tour this river for 2 – 3 hours or 4 – 5 hours and there is no experience necessary.
If you choose to take the Lil’ Amazon water tour you’ll be cast back in time. The environment is absolutely exquisite with some of the rarest birdlife in all of America located here. Some people refer to this area as The Other Florida as it’s considered a hidden gem.
