Florida Villas – Try Kayaking

If you are renting out a Florida villa for your holidays, kayaking is a great way to learn about nature and see some of the ‘real’ Florida.

Florida villas for kayaking

If you want to spend some quality time on the water, rent one of the many Florida villas available in the State and grab a kayak. There are numerous kayaking tours available across the State thanks to the miles of waterways, lakes and canals surrounded by mangrove forests and nature. The Gulf Coast however is probably the best place to consider renting out one of the Florida villas on offer if you’re a nature enthusiast.

Go fishing

In Sarasota for example, it’s popular for families renting Florida villas in the area to go fishing in a kayak, where you can angle for everything from redfish to grouper. Kayaking is particularly suited to fishing fans because it is a quiet boat, you don’t disturb the fish and you can get into spots other boats can’t. Add to that the fact that if your whole family are staying in a Florida villa, it is cheap and easy to rent or even buy a kayak.

If you are renting out one of the Florida villas in Sarasota the best spot to kayak is the Jim Neville Nature Preserve near Siesta key’s south end. You should always kayak in areas that are recommended or have official water trials or tour guides.

For all the family

Florida villas can accommodate large families and the great thing about kayaking is it doesn’t matter if you are eight or eighty-six, kayaking is easy to master. One tip if you take a kayak out to fish – head for the oyster beds near the mangroves and you are bound to see plenty of fish. Even if fishing isn’t your bag, kayaking is a great adventure. The wildlife is incredible – especially if you’re a twitcher. Remember to take your binoculars.

If your family are staying in a Florida villa for your holidays, here are some tips and hints if you are thinking of going on a kayaking tour:

• Remember the sunscreen and a sunhat. Being in the water makes you more susceptible to sunstroke and sunburn. You don’t want to ruin a great day out by getting burnt!
• Insect repellent. Naturally by the water, you will find more insects and mosquitoes buzzing around.
