My first time ever kayaking and for my husband it was his first time in a long time. Great experience, the trees canopying over the canal were great to enjoy cool temperatures. We would do it again no doubt. Katrina, the owner and guide, was very knowledgeable. She made the experience wonderful!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you both had a great time exploring the Dora Canal by kayak, especially for your first kayaking adventure! The shady tree canopy is one of our favorite parts of the canal and makes for such a peaceful paddle. It was a pleasure having you on our Wild Florida on the Dora Canal tour here in Tavares. We’d love to paddle with you again!

A floating adventure!
We paddled the Dora canal on a day following 14 inches of rain in Mount Dora. Katrina was great! She sent us on our way after making sure the canal was clear and safe and offered to pick us up anytime if it wasn’t. Great paddle! Saw beautiful birds and a few baby alligators! Two thumbs up!

Fly out/paddle in excursion
My son and I completed the fly out/paddle in trip on Monday, 6-16-25. Katrina was the guide for kayaking the Dora Canal. She was very friendly and had a wealth of knowledge about the area and its wildlife. In addition to different birds we did see some turtles and several alligators. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
