How we started….
I have been paddle boarding for over five years and always enjoy taking my board out for a new adventure and discovering the hidden gems on the Space Coast of Florida. I love taking friends out onto the water to share to my new findings and give them an experience to take home with them that they will remember for a lifetime. They’re always asking me, “Where are you today? Any new findings? When can I go with you?” Paddle boarding has become a passion of mine as it allows me to explore new places where many don’t have access to and observe Florida’s wildlife in nature where it is undisturbed.
When I learned about the group of wild flamingos who lost their way during a hurricane and made an island in the Indian River Lagoon home, I knew I had to find them for myself. Found them on the first try. A good friend suggested I open a business to share my experiences with others and thought that it was an incredible adventure for me to offer this to others who have not explored this part of Florida. I am also a flight attendant and was given the nickname, Fly Girl.
Once word got out about my new passion for the flamingos, my nickname was quickly changed to Flymingo and Flymingo River Tours was born.
I am looking forward to meeting people from all over the world and thankful for allowing me to take them on a tour of our beautiful Space Coast and introducing them to the wildlife that reside here.
