Overview
Two Hours • All Ages • Paddle the blackwater creek at night!
Duration
- Approximately two hours.
About
- The blackwater creek takes on a whole new adventure in the dark! Come join us for a 2-hour fun guided kayak tour through the swampy wetland of blackwater Lofton Creek when the sun goes down! Who knows what kind of wildlife we'll find lurking in the dark… beavers? Alligators? Maybe even the… SWAMP APE??? Only one way to find out!
- This tour begins at dusk as the sun is going down. About the time we reach the halfway point, the creek begins to darken. The sun will have set by the time we begin the paddle back to the boat ramp! We'll have some glow sticks available,. Feel free to bring any other fun lights you want to bring along for this paddle in the dark! All kayaks will be decorated with lights down the sides, and all guides will have a spotlight to use on the water during the tour. Join us for a creepy good time!
BYOKayak - If you are bringing your own kayak to use, we will have string lights to use on your boat, just come a little early to attach them.

Additional Info

As the date is approaching quickly, here is some information you will need to know to make your trip as much fun as possible!
*Starting location for Eco Easy or Big Cypress kayak adventures is Melton Nelson Boat Ramp 463540 State Road 200 Yulee FL 32097
You will be provided use of the kayak, paddle and life jacket (unless BYOKayak). We also will have water for you to take along on your paddle. You are also welcome to bring along additional drinks/snacks you like, HOWEVER no coolers will be allowed on the kayaks. Please note there is no alcohol allowed at the boat ramp per county laws*.
If you are BYOKayak: IMPORTANT! You will need to have the necessary lighting on your boat for USCG laws. This can be a flashlight, headlamp, or a glow stick on your kayak. If you have any questions about this, feel free to contact us!
*There are restrooms at the boat ramp, should you need a place to change clothing, etc.
IMPORTANT! Please wear clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting wet, as you WILL step into 6"-12" of water or so in order to enter/exit the kayaks.

Tour guides receive 100% of any gratuities.
We do not cancel for light rain (unless it is 60 or below)… if it looks like light rain you are welcome to bring a poncho or just enjoy the "Florida air conditioning". However, if it looks like storms or lightning, we will reschedule the event. Because of Florida's mood swings, we wait until about 90 minutes before the events to determine whether or not to cancel, because Florida changes her mind all the time on what kind of weather she wants to have!
For GUIDED tours, we will post all complimentary photos on our Facebook page in an album with your party's name on it. You are welcome to download, share or copy any photos you like! Please note that due to the fact we will be kayaking in the dark, the photos will not be as easily distinguishable as they would be in the daytime.*
