What To Expect
Myakka River State Park
Enjoy a peaceful walk along the banks of the Myakka River, surrounded by one of Florida’s oldest and largest natural landscapes. As you stroll beside the calm river, take in scenic views of palm trees and oak hammocks reflected in the water, offering a glimpse of untouched “Old Florida.” Keep an eye out for wildlife, including alligators, turtles, and a variety of wading birds such as herons and egrets, often seen along the shoreline. This relaxed experience is perfect for nature lovers and photographers, providing a tranquil way to connect with Florida’s diverse ecosystems and natural beauty.
Explore the quieter side of Myakka River State Park with a guided walk along scenic backcountry trails such as Ranch House Road, Fox Low and Fox High, and Clay Gully. These lesser-traveled paths wind through diverse landscapes, from open prairies to shaded oak hammocks, offering a more immersive experience of Florida’s wild terrain. As you follow these peaceful trails, take in the park’s natural beauty and watch for native wildlife in their undisturbed habitat. This off-the-beaten-path walk is perfect for travelers seeking a deeper connection with nature and a more secluded park experience.

5.00The experience allows you to pause, set an intention, experience nature, connect with other like-minded folks and walk away with new energy and information. Alyson is a great guide... balancing intuition, fun facts, and unparalleled energy.
This tour is literally Out of this World!!!

5.00Alyson is such an amazing group leader, very calm presence. She challenges you to explore meanings of nature to extract messages from the Universe or just to injoy the peace of being in nature and being present. She guided us on how to connect to nature helping to bridge the gap of the unseen and unknown or just feel the energy that nature gives us. This experience can be a nature walk or it can be a multidimensional experience.... it becomes what you are seeking. It can be expansive to your soul or it can be a release of the rush of our normal chaotic world. You will find what you are searching for.... be it with nature, the energy or the people in your group. I 1000% recommend this tour! **My 1 caveat *** is that I would inquire with Alyson if you are bringing children, you may want more information about the tour to see if it fits the adventure you are looking for.
