 Withlacoochee Wildlife 

Discover a 224 acre-uninhabitated island that is host to a variety of wildlife: herons of all kinds, deer, alligators, and turtles. Cypress trees and their "bald knees" line the edges of this outstanding waterway. Such a scenic and peaceful paddle in the Withlacoochee State Forest.

Let the moonlight guide the way!

 Astronomy 

 Bioluminescence

Look up and spot visible planets, constellations and shooting stars! Minimal light pollution on this river allows you to see so much with the naked eye. Our astronomy kayaking tours are exclusively planned around seasonal meteor showers and astronomical events. Learn about the night sky on this unforgettable journey.

This unforgettable excursion is offered during the warmest parts of July-September when the bioluminescence plankton are most visible and active.  These glowing waterways will leave 

you in amazement. As you paddle through the bay, spot fish and dolphins zooming by.
