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!

The guides were amazing... - The guides were amazing and patient. It was my first time kayaking and they made sure I didn't get left behind. The water was still and calm. I plan on doing this on a regular basis.

Great kayaking experience - What a fantastic day! A huge thank you to Catherine for working with our schedule and range of experience in our group to find the perfect kayaking experience for us. We had an amazing afternoon with our guide Stacey who was incredibly knowledgable and helpful during our trip. He knew all the best spots for animals (we saw many including a baby alligator and a not so baby/quite large alligator!) and unique foliage of the area. Couldn't have asked for better! Thank you!

Awesome Adventure - It had been years since we had been in a kayak and Jaimie and Josh were amazing at helping at least me feel comfortable again in the kayak and provided a wealth of information about the local area and its wide array of plants and wildlife. Highly recommend and would love to book again when we’re in the area again!
