Watch as the Full Moon Rises on the Chassahowitzka
This peaceful kayaking experience connects you to nature in a whole new way. Experience the transition from a scenic Florida sunset, to the beauty of the rising Full Moon. Paddle along calm waters as the sun begins to set over the wild landscapes of the Chassahowitzka River. Witness the moment when the Full Moon rises and moonlight dances across the water. This is a truly unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling relaxed and recharged.
Wildlife Sightings
When the sun goes down, the river comes to life in a totally different way. Listen for the sounds of barred owls and bullfrogs. Watch as lightning bugs light up the shorelines, as bats dance and dive in the moonlight. During the winter months we encounter gentle manatees as they transition from the Gulf coast to the warm Springs. This guided kayaking experience is a wonderful way to connect with nature in a new way.
Panoramic Views
Our moonlit kayaking tour departs shortly before sunset, giving you colorful twilight views of this scenic landscape. The Chassahowitzka River is totally wild and undeveloped, offering panoramic views of Real Florida wilderness. Take in sweeping views of the salt marsh and lush palm hammocks. In the Spring and Summer months you will see blooming white swamp lillies, yellow duckweed, and pink salt hibiscus flowers.
Moonlit Waters
As the full moon rises over the wildest river in Homosassa, its glowing light creates a shimmering path to paddle. People have looked to the moon to track the seasons, guide their travels, and mark important moments. Sailors used the glow to navigate waterways, and storytellers wove legends around its light. Every Full Moon has a different view and atmosphere, and kayaking beneath it is a truly unforgettable experience.
