Traveling back in time on Shingle Creek, guests will enjoy a two-hour guided Emotion Eco-Tour.  Our water guides will tell the story of Shingle Creek and all its inhabitants as you navigate your own canoe or kayak, while paddling through scenic Old Florida. 
 
Through our Kayaking and Fishing adventures we hope to educate our guests and showcase hidden Florida and all its Mystique while "leaving no footprints".  Your team will venture out on Shingle Creek with one of the Outfitters Guides in search of native Florida. You will be charged with locating and removing the "footprints of man".  Our intention is to leave the creek in a healthier state than when we found it. Along the way you will also find some hidden gems that will make the journey that much more rewarding. Your journey includes use of all watercraft, equipment, and safety gear for your travels.
