This was beyond amazing. We were able to see many animals on our trip down the dora canal . Katrina was an amazing guide that made us feel safe and was a wealth of knowledge. This tour was completely beginner friendly. Thank you again.

Escape to Dora Canal
I highly recommend Adventure Outdoor Paddle’s guided 2-2 1/2 hour Dora Canal tour. You can rent kayaks for a solo paddle, but Katrina points out birds and wildlife you might otherwise miss—like an eagle’s nest or baby alligators. A short paddle, good for beginners. Early am is best to avoid most of boat traffic. Shady canal and cypress will have you in another world. I would recommend renting directly from outfitter. Seaplanes next door.

Self guided Kayaking - Dora Canal
An amazing experience for a family, great value in comparison to other tours we looked at. Plenty of advice, guidance and care from Katrina. Benefit was there was no current and a wide canal for passing so good for anyone who hasn’t been kayaking before. We see plenty of wildlife and the teens thoroughly enjoyed themselves saying it felt like they were in a Jurrasic scene.
Thank you to Katrina for looking out for us, taking photos - at no costs, we’re all still talking about it!

Thank you for trusting us with your family's adventure. We're glad the calm water and beginner-friendly route helped everyone feel comfortable on the water, and it was my pleasure to capture a few photos so you could simply enjoy the experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope your family makes it back to paddle with us again someday. Safe travels!

Lovely kayaking on the Lake County canals
A lovely morning on the canals with Katrina who was so knowledgeable and personable. She even called me and offered to do a one-on-one guided tour due to the heat index (as I was originally scheduled for the afternoon). We saw so much wildlife from beautiful birds to turtles and gators! I’ll definitely return!

Thank you for choosing Adventure Outdoor Paddle for your Florida kayak tour, and we can't wait to welcome you back on the water next time! 😊💦

Kayaking on the Beautiful Dora Canal
Katrina gave us a wonderful tour of the canal. I had no idea how beautiful it was. She knew all the birds and wildlife and was so much fun to be with. Being only our 2nd time kayaking, we were not particularly good at it, but she was extremely patient and helpful in getting us steered down the canal. It is shady and beautiful and an easy fun trip to do, regardless of skill level. Perfect for nature lovers or anyone wanting a relaxing experience.
