If you're looking for something different, you're in the right place. We
offer guided tours led by a professional paddler and biologist. We offer
something for every level of experience.
Our tours come from a somewhat different perspective in that the trip
leader has actual research experience with manatees and 15 years field
experience in wildlife management and biology in the area where we will be
paddling. As a preserve manager, Matt has a true understanding of
eco -tourism. Susan has spent 30 years as a Florida Park Ranger and in
addition to being a professional paddler, has extensive experience in
interpretation of Florida's Ecology and Heritage.
We understand that true Eco-Tourism revolves around small groups and

We understand that true Eco-Tourism revolves around small groups and
features minimal intrusion and a leave no trace ethic. That's what you'll find at Aardvark's
Florida Kayak Company. In keeping with our philosophy of quality over quantity, in addition to
our guided trips, we offer a small, high quality rental fleet and an excellent selection of kayaks
and paddling accessories.
We suggest that you shop around and find out what qualifications your guides have as well as
what equipment is being used and how large the groups will be. If we are not available to
accommodate your needs, there are 2 other kayak outfitters that we recommend. Lars
Anderson, who with his wife, run Adventure Outpost in High Springs, and Brack Barker of Wild
Florida Adventures out of Williston. Both have high ethical standards and similar attitudes on
manatee interaction.
