What we’re about
This group is designed for active Adventure travelers with a zest for the great outdoors. We will explore Rivers, Rapids, Oceans and Springs. This differentiates from our other travel clubs because of the degree of difficulty involved in some of the interactive participation. There is a difference between a raft or tube float versus white water rafting on the rapids. We will do both but will rate the event according to the difficulty or the accessibility of the destination or sport. The new zip line at Forever Florida Eco Safaris compliments the wonderful Buggy Tour and Horseback Riding already available there.
