Thanks for a great season!

Cincinatti Hills Christian Academy was our biggest group ever, great kids who paddled 50 miles to Key West!

Our 2013 Florida kayaking season is done and one for the books! 13 trips, 70 days on the water and 100 great customers! Many thanks to those who helped along the way, from co-guiding, to boat-lifting, to re-supplying. We truly could not do it without you!

Calusa Blueway, a new trip offering this year

We are not back on the Eastern Shore of Virginia for the summer, guiding trips for SouthEast Expeditions. Come see us at our little shop at Onancock Wharf!

8-day Wilderness Waterway, Everglades

Holiday discount on two awesome Florida kayak trips in February

Happy Holidays! 

Bill and I are in the Keys, prepping for a busy paddling season in South Florida. There's a light breeze off the ocean and both the water and air temperatures are in the high 70s. Perfect paddling weather!

We're offering a holiday special on two very different, truly awesome trips in February, 2013, each with excellent paddling and wildlife-viewing.

Book either the Everglades Wilderness Waterway (Feb. 9-17) or the Great Calusa Blueway (Feb. 12-16) by Dec. 31 and take $100 off. Details on both are below and on our Website.

Need a last-minute Christmas gift or getaway? Our first trip of the season launches Dec. 27-30, island-hopping through the Florida Keys backcountry.

Wishing you a season of love and a much more peaceful New Year,
Bill & Mary

Great Calusa Blueway Paddling February 2013

Burnham Guides is expanding! We've come up with a new, five-day kayak trip on the Great Calusa Blueway, Feb. 12-16, 2013. Coinciding with Valentine's Day, why not bring your sweetheart, or meet afterwards at the gorgeous Lover's Key Resort.

Spend five glorious days paddling with dolphins, manatee and wading birds on Florida's southwest Gulf coast. We'll pass the famed beaches of Sanibel and Captiva, stay on Cayo Costa, Florida's least-visited state park (accessible only by boat), and explore the watery mangroves tunnels of Sanibel Island's Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge.

The trip includes two nights of island camping, a night in a beachy cottage on Sanibel, and a bayfront inn in the funky fishing village of Matlacha, home of the "fishingest bridge in the world." We'll average 8 to14 miles daily, 55 miles in all.

Cost: $1150 per person, all-inclusive of kayaks, camping equipment, lodging and food. Discount for bringing your own kayak and/or camping gear.

Email or call 305-240-0650 for more info.  Don't delay as trip size is limited.
