Adventures in Florida

I highly recommend taking your family to the Everglades with Adventures in Florida. Our week-long trip was filled with awesome scenery, a relaxed atmosphere, and great food.The guides really know the flora & fauna of this national treasure!

You will not likely find a more professional or knowledgeable guide service in Florida...and besides that, Greg makes things FUN.

I've paddled a number of week-long trips with AIF--Suwannee River, Everglades, Canaveral Seashore, Cayo Costa, Edisto River (SC)--and bunches of shorter ones (Bioluminescence is SO COOL! Full moon paddles are relaxing and romantic. And seeing dozens of manatees in the springs is pretty amazing.), and I would trust him with my gear needs and my family's safety any time.

On AIF trips, Greg doesn't mess around with freeze-dried meals: he prides himself on his cooking, and leans towards gourmet Southern cuisine--think amazing smoked pork or white chicken chili--but will try to accommodate whatever dietary needs you have (tofu, anyone? nah.).

I only wish I had more time and money... my bucket list includes the upcoming paddles in Viet Nam, the Exumas, Utah's Green River, and the Buffalo in Arkansas... oh, yeah, don't forget Alaska--all places Greg has run trips.

If you've got any curiosity about paddling in Florida, check out his website adventuresinflorida.com or go to meetup.com--florida kayak/canoe meetup (Winter Park, Florida area).

Disclaimer: Yeah, I admit I'm biased--I'm neighbors with Greg and his family, and share the occasional meal. So do more research--ask any of the hundreds of people who've been on his trips; they'll agree he's professional, knowledgeable, and fun.
