Earlier this week, over 2 days, my husband, 15-year old daughter and I did the twilight tour, the 8 am kayak tours in the Chassahowitzka river and the pontoon Homosassa River Run tour in the afternoon. The experience was truly unique and off the beaten paths. We were by ourselves with no tourist, which, during the spring break season, was much appreciated! Our guide, Drake, was very accommodating, easy to communicate with (directly through text) during the planning of our trip, easy going without overdoing it and very knowledgeable during the tours. He loves his natural Florida and it shows! The kayaks were also very comfy with elevated seats! So wet bottoms! We saw manatees, dolphins, bold eagles, vultures , pelicans, herons, ospreys, owls. Kayaking at night was just beautiful and so peaceful. amazing sunset. Just don’t forget some extra layers, it gets chilly! and bug spray! I would highly recommend wearing pants, closed shoes, fingerless gloves and a light balaclava for people sensitive to mosquitoes! It is worth it though!!! Drake recommended us to have lunch at Crumps landing. Very fun place to eat on the river surrounded by pelicans and a bit more of a crowd. Arriving at 11am was a good call! Basically I highly recommend Drake’s business if you want to experience the real Floridian nature and have a very special time.
