Join a peaceful paddle along South Florida’s bays at sunset. Perfect for beginners, this eco-friendly tour promises stunning skies and wildlife encounters that make for unforgettable memories.
SoFlo Eco is a small adventure outfitter specializing in guided kayak and paddle board tours. The company leads five curated experiences designed for families, beginners, and nature lovers: a Sunset Tour, Desert Island Leisure, Shipwreck Tour, Kayak Camping Excursion, and Mangrove Tunnel Tour.
Each trip includes paddle sport options (kayak or paddle board) and activity-specific equipment like dive masks and snorkels for reef snorkeling.
SoFlo Eco operates trips that highlight coastal ecosystems and wildlife. Guests paddle through mangrove tunnels, glide over seagrass meadows home to sea turtles, explore an artificial reef and shipwreck, and beach on secluded sandbars for picnics and relaxation. The Kayak Camping Excursion visits a National Wildlife Reserve and offers overnight camping on an uninhabited island with ocean-view tent sites and hammock stargazing.
Tours are family- and dog-friendly where noted, and guides emphasize safe, low-impact practices to protect habitats and wildlife. Snorkel gear is provided on relevant tours; kayaks and paddle boards are available for all trips. Activities include swimming, shelling, wildlife viewing, hammock relaxation, and beach picnics.
SoFlo Eco focuses on accessible, eco-minded outdoor experiences that combine adventure with nature education. The business aims to create memorable outings—sunset paddles, island picnics, shipwreck snorkeling, and mangrove exploration—while prioritizing wildlife stewardship and enjoyable experiences for participants of varying skill levels.
Several tours are suitable for beginners and families, with guides offering basic paddling instruction and safety briefings for first-time paddlers. Guides also point out wildlife, shelling spots, and natural features to support low-impact outdoor learning during each excursion.
