Kayak and Paddleboard Eco-tours
Let us guide you on your next paddling adventure!
Take a paddle into another world and experience a wonderland of wildlife in our tropical waters. Do you prefer sandbar hopping through Gasparilla Sound or exploring the beautiful mangrove lined creeks surrounding our estuary? With Florida Girl you can observe the antics of baby pelicans in a rookery or search for sea urchins and jellyfish in the seagrass. Dolphin and manatee sightings delight paddlers of all ages. Canopy-covered trails through a magical mangrove forest provide an experience unique to Florida. Charlotte Harbor is the second largest estuary in Florida. From the brackish nursery waters to the pristine coastal barrier islands, the stunning variety of natural environments makes Charlotte Harbor a premier paddling destination.

Stand Up Paddling Lessons
This lesson introduces new or future paddlers to Stand Up Paddling (SUP). Participants learn the fundamentals of SUP in a safe and fun atmosphere. Information on water safety, injury prevention, and basic paddling techniques allow paddlers to gain confidence and maximize their fun on the water. No prior paddling experience is necessary. Participants will need to be comfortable in the water and able to swim. Participants can bring their own board or use one of ours.
Call 941-875-4402 to schedule a private lesson.
Special Events
Keep an eye on our Social Media for special events such as “Sunset Paddles” or “Introduce Your Kids to Paddling” demonstrations. We believe in doing our part to be good stewards of our waters. We host a shoreline or waterway cleanup every other month. These events are always shared on social media so you can join us. We have special programs coming for homeschoolers and scouts too.
