Additional Information

The Lofton Creek Kayak Tour is ideal for kayakers of all skill levels, even children and novices. This immersive nature excursion allows participants to encounter turtles, alligators, snakes, otters and occasionally, manatees in their close proximity. The woodland charm of the forest draws pileated woodpeckers, red shoulder hawks, and the quirky anhinga, often dubbed as the “water turkey.” Due to the preserved nature of Lofton Creek, kayaking here is resistant to changing coastal conditions. Paddling south on Lofton Creek offers scenic views of marshlands, while paddling north presents a secluded, forested journey. The Lofton Creek Kayak Tour promises a fantastic experience for every member of your party!

Awesome 2 hour tour with great guides - Great tour with great guides (Madeline and Rob). It was obvious that they had been doing this for awhile and Madeline's enthusiasm was contagious to the rest of the group 😇

Great trip! - Our guides, CJ & Cassie, were so amazing! They were knowledgeable about the area, the Fauna & Flora. They led a very low key and wonderful tour. Thank you!!!

Great experience! - We had Madeline and Rob for tour guides and they were amazing. We ended up getting a private tour due to it being just me and my husband at the activity time. Madeline and Rob were great! Very knowledgeable, personable and funny. We talked the entire time about plants, wildlife, and Florida. Definitely recommend. The creek itself was so calming and pretty.

Great time on Lofton Creek - How informative Rachel, our guide, was. The beauty of the area. Loved all the bird sounds. The group was small which made it easier to maneuver in the kayaks.
