Leave our launch with your guide before the sun has set. Navigate through the mangroves and the shallows as you witness the surrounding ecosystems transition from day to night, a time when the wildlife is most active. You will arrive at a bridge and wait as you hear the bats under the bridge getting louder and louder. Then watch as they depart their home, sometimes a handful sometimes over a hundred, depending on weather conditions. Paddle back as the night sky gets darker and your guide will talk you through some of the visible constellations.

A thrilling experience! Our guide Austin was super personable and spoke to us each by name during the tour. Austin was very helpful to our group and even helped rope tow some of our group members who needed assistance navigating the kyaks through the gentle tides. We saw loads of fish and other neat wildlife! Austin has a very good knowledge of the Florida ecosystem! Learned a lot about bird species! The Skimmer Bird was a favorite to watch in action as it skinmed the water surface for food! Recommend wearing bug repellent if on the evening tour. Cheers!

The guide Austin was very personable, and knowledgeable on the area in general, the river, and on the environmental challenges for the area. Kayaks in excellent condition. You don't need to be a particularly experienced kayaker for this trip. I recommend the sunset tour.
