ECON RIVER ORLANDO ALLIGATOR ENCOUNTER

Come enjoy paddling Orlando’s closest wild river. Have your cameras ready for amazing wildlife including MASSIVE alligators, otters, turtles, wading birds, and the occasional wandering manatees. Your professional guides will get you close and keeps you safe!

We paddle 8.5 miles all downstream through the Econlockhatchee State Forest. We take time stopping at numerous beaches for swim breaks (yes it is safe), rope swings, short hikes on the Florida trail, and a light snack under the remains of the Flagler railroad bridge.

This tour is also wonderful for our birding friends. Swallow Tail Kites, Bald Eagles, Crested Caracara, Limpkins, Ibis, and Roseate Spoonbills all call this river home.

Our founder and owner grew up near this river and still lives beside it. It is no wonder why we love taking people out paddling on it and sharing its beauty.

At the end of the paddle we do what no other tour company in Orlando will, we shuttle you back to your car. We believe having to paddle out and back upstream is a horrible idea and only allows you to experience half of the river.
