| Go Coastal: Kayak Ozello |
| Tired of dodging boats and skis on Kings Bay on weekends? Don't want to slalom with the tubes on Rainbow or fight the crowds on Weeki Wachee? Beat the crowds and Go Coastal with Aardvark's! $45 per person, reservations required. While Crystal River and Kings Bay is a great place to see manatees in the winter, the atmosphere changes in the summer. Now, Instead of boats idling around looking for manatees, high speed watercraft dominate the scenery. Personal watercraft, ski boats and high speed go fasts clog the water and make it dangerous for man and manatees. Rainbow River and Weeki Wachee are also clogged. What's a better option if you just want to relax and enjoy the scenery away from the crowds? Ozello (named after Ozello Bishop, an early settler) is a world all to itself. Tucked away between Homosassa and Crystal River, think Key West or Cedar Key pre-development, uncrowded and unspoiled. And getting there is half the fun. A 10 mile, paved country backroad, Ozello Trail (aka CR 494W) winds through the Crystal River Preserve State Park and ends at the shore of the St. Martins Marsh Aquatic Preserve The water is clear, shallow, and protected, perfect for kayaking. Few boats due to the shallow nature of the bottom. Grass flats intersperse with mangrove islands and oyster bars. Dolphins cruise for mullet (the fish, not the haircut), manatees graze the seagrass meadows, and colonial wading birds nest on the keys. After the trip, stop by Peck's Old Port Cove for blue crabs and a cold one, or the Island General Store for some of the best local bbq. Join Aardvark's as we GO COASTAL! Reserve your spot.
