About our Eco-Friendly Tours

All our small-group, customized tours are about two hours long and are as "green" as you can get.  Kayaks are paddled and jon boats use electric motors.

Safety and Comfort are our First Priority

All guests must wear PFDs.  Bring water, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and appropriate clothing.  Rafael is a former EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) and is trained in CPR.  Tours do not go out in thunderstorms.

MOST POPULAR GUIDED TOURS

Kayak Tour of Arthur R. Marshall National Wildlife Refuge

Leaving from the Lee Road, Boynton Beach entrance.   We generally take a two-hour trip around the Canoe Trail.  I use a three-person Ocean Quatro sit-on-top kayak which comfortably accommodates two passengers. For larger groups, additional kayaks are available for rental at the boat launch area.

Jon Boat Tour 

Leaving from the South Entrance of Arthur R. Marshall NWR off of Lox Road between Palm Beach County and Broward County west of US 441/SR 7.  The shallow-draft jon boat is an extremely stable platform for birdwatching, photography, and general wildlife viewing.  It is silently propelled by an electric trolling motor so as to not disturb the birds, alligators and other wildlife.  We generally travel 1 hour west along the embankment canal and back again.  Alternately, we can take the L-40 Canal northwards and back.

Walking Tour

A guided two-hour walking tour of Arthur R. Marshall NWR Marsh Trail is a great option for birdwatchers.
