Fred the Guide
We started Fred the Guide because we believe that everyone should have access to the vast natural areas Central Florida has to offer. While Fred the Guide offers something for everyone, our specialty is getting people into the great outdoors who want to hike, kayak, camp, etc. but are unsure of their skill level. During our outings, Fred will coach you on the basic skills of the activity, navigation, flora and fauna, and anything that builds your confidence to Get Outside More.
Check out our website and choose one of our hikes or kayak trips. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, contact us for a customized adventure.
