Do you know what 'peaceful' sounds like?

It's an adventure. It's a workout. It's a unique, up close and personal view of nature. It's hearing the sound of peace, just minutes away from the noise of human population. In just 2 hours, I found a complete recharge with Kayak Amelia. My tour...More

Thank you for your kind words. It is so important for our mental health to slow down, put down the phone and just 'be' in nature. Really, studies have shown it lowers blood pressure, pulse and cortisol levels. I'm so glad you had a great...More

Great Paddling in the Marshes

Great experience. Our group so enjoyed our ecotour through the salt marshes. Rachel, our guide, kept it relaxed but interesting for all. Would highly recommend. My teenager is hooked and is ready to paddle again!

Thank Mobile756770

If we can get a teenager hooked, I consider that a win! They are the toughest to please sometimes. I think more of them have fun but just won't admit it. So glad you came kayaking with us. Thanks for the review.

Great kayak tour

Our guides were deeply knowledgeable about the history and ecology of the area, and were also good teachers of basic kayaking skills. The trip was peaceful and beautiful, and we saw a lot of birds, including a kingfisher, ospreys, egrets, and herons. Experiencing the area...More

Is the firefly trail wheelchair friendly?

April 19, 2019|

Answer

Most of the walk in on a paved road. After that it's hard packed sand with some ruts and bumps. The paved part should be fine for a wheelchair. Just FYI this weekend is the last of the Firefly tours for this season.

Elizabeth E

Hi, would the fireflies be around in June while Kayaking?

April 10, 2019|

Answer

The first hatch out in the spring is huge, thousands of fireflies. They are around all summer but not in those huge numbers. That's why we only do the tours in the spring.

DebLeigh9

How much longer do you expect fireflies to be around this season? When did they appear?

April 3, 2018|

AnswerShow all 2 answers

The fireflies are here in these huge numbers for about 3 weeks. It started April 1. In past years we occasionally have seen them start to fizzle at 2.5 weeks.
