From WaterColor: Blue Sky Kayaking, working with Old Florida Outfitter’s, has developed several kayak expedition tours for Western Lake and the Gulf of Mexico. Matt LeBo is heading up this program and has put together a great variety of tours, cruises and expeditions designed for all ages and skill levels. What a wonderful way to enjoy our rare coastal dune lake and the crystalline waters of the Gulf of Mexico (homeowners and guests receive a $10 discount, by the way)! Matt is operating out of the Old Florida Outfitter’s shop in Town Center. Attached is a list of the various tours available, dates and times, prices and skill levels.
