About

Attention Nature Enthusiasts, Your Adventure Awaits!

Join us on an unparalleled voyage starting in the heart of a prehistoric archaeological site intwined with an aquatic preserve where a world of awe-inspiring beauty and captivating wildlife awaits merely a short distance from the bustling Fort Pierce Inlet.

This mangrove jungle is an untamed creation by nature itself, remaining untouched and unspoiled. As such, it is rarely visited by other tours and the heart of its overgrown shallow waterways are inaccessible to motorized watercraft.

This is a one-of-a-kind escape to connect with just the sounds of nature.

Step into a lost world: Your guide will meet you at a well-hidden archaeological site launching area into the aquatic preserve where the rustic setting of a protected and untouched jungle comes alive before your eyes.

A journey through mystical mangrove tunnels: Glide through the gently flowing waters of the dense mangrove jungle. Prepare for a kayak adventure through fully shaded low hanging tree canopies. Navigate barely wide-enough passages between the dense root systems that provide an oasis of natural beauty. Our multiple routes, influenced by water levels and canopy growth, ensure every trip is a fresh and captivating experience. With the urban world left far behind, you will be enchanted by this ecological gem.

The lagoon passage: As you emerge from the tropical mangrove jungle into a serpentine open waterway, you can explore shallow sanctuary sandbars, where fascinating small marine life like stingrays, puffer fish, and crabs abound. Witness egrets, ibises, osprey, herons, woodpeckers, and more, as they go about their daily activities.

Escape the ordinary: If you crave an active and relaxing escape away from the hustle and bustle of the commercialized areas, our kayak jungle tour promises an intimate encounter with nature's hidden treasures.

Protecting the aquatic preserve, we are committed to ensuring that our tours have no lasting impact on the areas we visit. This means that we meticulously ensure that no buildings, facilities, waste or any disruptions are left behind, preserving these protected lands for generations.
