GENERAL INFORMATION
Florida Pack & Paddle, Central Florida's full service outdoor tour company, was established in 1986 to put groups in touch with Florida's unique beautiful and tranquil outdoor settings. We felt that many groups were hesitant to fully utilize the outdoors because they didn't know where to go, they didn't have the proper equipment, or they didn't want to deal with coordinating meals, accommodations and activities. We have enjoyed canoeing, camping, and hiking throughout the Southeast for over 30 years, and feel our love of the outdoors, combined with our love for sharing and hosting, provide the basis for creating a "total care" outdoor tour company.
We have created a variety of special group tours in response to the needs of our clients over the past ten years. They range from rafting in the Sothern Appalachian Mountains, to a canoe/camping adventure in the Ten Thousand Islands area of the Florida Everglades. We also offer custom-designed tours to meet your group's specific needs, whether for rest and relaxation, a spouse program, a business retreat, a team building workshop or special event. Each tour has been tested and refined over the years, and features our caring service and attention to detail, top quality equipment, excellent meals and professional guides.
Please review the Tour Descriptions included in this packet and let us know if you have any questions or need additional information. Rates for each tour are listed below and are based on the minimum number of people indicated. Unless otherwise noted rates include all meals, beverages, guides, equipment and activities outlined in each Tour Description.
