We’re proud to be recognised among the top-rated photography tours of 2025, trusted by travellers worldwide for our relaxed style and stunning results.

We have been avid explorers of Myakka River State Park for the better part of two decades and have been operating tours for nearly 5 years so our knowledge and expertise of the park and it's wildlife inhabitants is unmatched! Our guides are also extremely proficient in photography so you will leave with plenty of great photo mementos at no additional cost! Perhaps what makes our experience the most unique is that our top of the line E-bikes allow you to choose how much effort you put into the ride. Put your assist level low and get some exercise or allow the bike to do all the work and see the entire park sweat-free.

We are a full DIY epoxy resin studio; our classes include over 4 different boards or coasters to choose from and many other boards and lazy susans available for upgrades. With over 50 different colors, you can create your own unique art piece that you will not find anywhere else. We have more choices than any other facility in Sarasota. Projects available for pickup as soon as the following day.
