Nature's education is priceless...This is a great venue for either individuals or groups who want a special experience. Our knowledgeable guide will paddle along with you while pointing out Florida's native flora and fauna and discussing some of the history and importance of the Hillsborough River.

Exploring the domain of the Timucuans...This 4 1/2 mile paddling trip through the Wilderness Park (a 16,000-acre preserve) takes approximately three hours. Feel free to bring along your own soft drinks and snacks or perhaps lunch. Don't forget your camera!
