Sunset Paddling Adventure
About Tour
As the sun begins to dip behind the shoreline of Mullet Lake, the water comes alive with the sights and sounds of Old Florida. Paddle around the lake’s 55-acre, calm waters, with blooming purple hyacinths, American lilies, and towering native vegetation while a large variety of birds soar overhead. Keep your eyes open for great blue herons, snowy egrets, sandpipers, killdeer, chimney swifts, and bald eagles often spotted nesting nearby.
As dusk settles, the golden evening light reflecting off the lake creates a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the everyday rush. With unforgettable sunset colors stretching across the sky, this tour is perfect for a romantic evening, a peaceful adventure, or capturing stunning one-of-a-kind photos.
Seats are limited, and sunsets this beautiful never happen twice, so book your paddle now to experience Mullet Lake at its absolute best!

I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the entire experience to life with fascinating insights. The tour itself was phenomenal. I’m already planning to book another next time I’m out in Orlando. If you’re looking for a memorable, well-organized experience with a guide who truly cares, look no further.
Delightful Kayak Paddling on Dora Canal, Tavares, Florida
June 15, 2026
We had a very enjoyable morning paddle along the Dora Canal, Tavares, Florida. Our Guides, Tia and Dave, arrived and set-up 25 kayaks by 8:45AM, well before our huge neighborhood paddling group arrived. Everything went so smoothly with this event; Our guides made it easy for everyone to launch, and helped everyone out of their kayak on our return. Our guides were quick to point out osprey, herons, egrets, anhingas, and several alligators. We were impressed to see so much wildlife. Excellent paddle, thanks to all the help from Guides Dave and Tia with Adventures In Florida.
Highly recommend.
