Activity Description
Why paddle with strangers or noisy kids?
Blue Planet specializes in private excursions into the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge. Our guides have been exploring these haunts for over 15 years.
This tour is for more adventurous and experienced paddlers looking for unmatched scenery. The pristine, crystal clear waters of the backcountry, truly stunning for its landscape and a feeling of remoteness, offer you an escape to a quiet world of uninhabited mangrove islands and aquamarine passages.
We can take you to the best spots for photography, snorkeling or tidal walks. If you wish to snorkel please provide your own gear. Stay out a couple hours or most of the day…It’s all up to you!
Frequently seen include:
- Barracuda
- Stingrays and small bonnet-head
- Lemon and nurse sharks
- Heron and egret species
- Bald eagles, osprey, ibis, plovers and snipes
It is not unusual to see dolphins and sea turtles. You may glide over gardens of large, vibrantly colored sponges harboring lobster and sea anemones.
Pricing is dependent on the duration of tour and distance paddled. This tour is available by request only - let us know if you are interested by clicking on the "Contact this seller" link, at least 2 weeks before you are interested in going!
