Trip Overview
Take a week off and come to coastal west Florida and discover why the area is known as the Nature Coast. Each day our group will travel via private van to a different natural area. We will mostly kayak, however; we will also snorkel with manatee, go tubing on a gin clear river run, take a moonlight cruise on the Withlacoochee River, visit the animals at Homosassa State Wildlife Park, and paddle several outstanding rivers and coastal wetlands. As always, we return each night to our private lodge at the confluence of the Rainbow River and the Withlacoochee River. While your dinner is being prepared, you can hike down nearby nature trails, fish in several world-class fishing spots, or get a little private paddling time in in the rivers.
Itinerary
(NOTE: We ask that participants keep in mind that itineraries are greatly affected by changing weather conditions, and for that reason itineraries can not be set in stone. Each day the trip leaders will review weather forecasts, water levels, and visibility to decide which river to visit. The trip leaders ask that participants be flexible and patient with the chosen itinerary as the group’s safety is our primary concern.)
Points of Interest that our group will explore – Southern Withlacoochee River, Silver River/Springs, Oklawaha River, Rainbow Springs, Homosassa Springs/River/National Wildlife Refuge, Chassahowitzka Springs/River/National Wildlife Refuge, Crystal River/Springs, and the Withlacoochee State Forest
