I have done the hike but kayak?? Lol heck no.. I was up in ocala with friends and did some kayaking.. the alligators were huge! I was terrified but they didn’t bother anyone. When I saw one under my kayak I closed my eyes and waited for death 🤣🤣🤣
I think not. I don’t have that much patience to wait for the king and would probably not end well for me. But God bless you Sarah, love your adventurism!! Keep these coming!
We’ve done the Myakka many times,but never in the preserve. It is on our list to return. I share all of your anxiety and excitement when paddling around, over, next to giant gators! It’s an awesome adventure not many folks get to experience! Stay safe, and paddle on!
Great video! I was just there a few weeks ago and did a video myself. I wondered what it would have been like to paddle it. Now I want to go back! Thanks fo sharing !
Gators dont really mess with kayaks. I would be more concerned during mating season, but i've never heard of anyone getting pulled out of a kayak and only a hand full of times that a kayak got physically harassed by a gator. Every one of those was because they had fish attached or a small dog on it, or were messing the the gator.
Respectfully- how did the kayak not sink with the size of balls you have!!!!! Wow
SUCH a fun wildlife encounter. A bit scary, but so unique. That landscape 🫶🫶🫶. Thanks for taking us along.

I was visiting Myakka just last week on my bike tour but exploring it by kayak is beautiful and seeing those huge gators are little scary.
You are a brave girl Sarah! I've seen those Myakka River gators when working near that bridge. They are ginormous!!
This is AMAZING!!! I don't think I can kayak that river alone though 😅 👏🏽
Ya know what.. I get it!! 🤣

LOL! 🤣 And thank you so much!
OMG, definitely passing on this one. Today was my third time ever kayaking and I love it, but I hope to never see an alligator, lol.

Did you use a drone? I have seen some cool drone videos, but you need a license maybe or maybe just do it. But sounds really interesting
How is it gator mating season when you are all jacketed up? Mating season is in June ...
Mating season starts in April.
Wow, Alligator Alley! Would love to see your fitness tracker heart rate
throughout that paddle 😅. Really nice job on the video!
Great video! Thanks for sharing it!
Great Job!!!!!
I prefer a boat that is larger than the critters around me. But that's just me.
Amazing! You are very brave! Very cool, but a definite pass for me.
Oh. My. Gawd. What an AMAZING ADVENTURE 💚.
Thank you!! ♥️
@@SarahsOutdoorAdventures on my bucket list for sure! 💚
Great job! Definitely on my list.
It was awesome to watch your trip, not sure I could do this!
That must've been AWESOME
It was incredible!
Added this on my list but only if I'm with other paddlers. I'm curious, what do you use to mount your camera?
