Kijubi Scuba Diving?

It can be easy to forget how blue our planet is when you’re cooped up inside concrete buildings all day. Scuba diving can be an excellent way to erase your mind of day-to-day stress by allowing yourself to focus only on the beauty of the ocean.

Picture this…you drop into the open blue abyss, submerged. Completely enveloped by the ocean, you take a deep breath. Oxygen flows into your lungs as you’ve just done the unthinkable—breathe underwater. Humans may have evolved on land to escape the complex nature of the ocean but with modern technology, we have given ourselves an opportunity to explore Earth’s aquatic realm.

Scuba diving is an adventure that opens your eyes to a region of nature that is in almost every way alien to our own structured society. To observe life underwater isn’t as much of an activity as it is a metaphysical awakening, a journey to increase the scope of your perspective of the duality of life on land and water.

When you book a diving trip with Kijubi you might observe colorful coral palaces with eel poking their heads out, observing you. You might swim among a school of fish, encouraging you to swim in line. Depending on your location, you might find a sea turtle sifting through the water currents next to you. The opportunities of exploration and observation are endless.

Getter started with scuba diving is extremely easy and safe. The only requirement is that you know how to swim and have a love for the ocean. After an initial lesson in a pool to get adjusted to the breathing equipment, your licensed instructor will teach you the safety hand signals. Before you know it, you’ll be out in the ocean for your first time, breathing normally and following your instructor as he or she shows you interesting sights on the tour. Kijubi currently has an assortment of scuba diving trips situated in Florida specifically in Miami and Key Largo. Bring some underwater excitement to your vacation!

Kijubi Freezing? Head to the Sunshine State!

Cold weather got you down?

I know my car is here somewhere....

We can’t complain here in Laguna Beach, but our friends back east say it’s freezing!   When the pipes start to freeze and you find yourself sitting around the house in a down jacket, there’s only one thing to do….head south to the Sunshine state.

One of the only truly tropical zones in the US, Florida offers amazing opportunities to find fun and adventures outdoors. Kijubi has teamed up with tour and adventure guides from all over the state to make sure you can find the fun on your next visit to our nation’s preeminent peninsula.

Among the more unique experiences we offer is a chance to get up close and personal with the friendliest of marine mammals, the Manatee.  Strictly vegetarians, Manatess can reach up to 2,000 lbs, but are known to be among the most gentle and playful creatures to inhabit the marshy coastal areas of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Going snorkeling with the Manatees in Crystal River is perfect for adventurers of all ages, and a great light impact group activity for families or seniors.

If you find yourself near Orlando at the right time of the month, check out the Full Moon Kayak Tour over the Winter Park chain of lakes.  A perfect activity for experienced paddlers or first-time kayakers, this trip will give you a truly unique perspective on the natural beauty that southern Florida has to offer.

Don’t feel like getting wet?  No problem…how about a bike tour through the Mangroves in the magnificent Anne Kolb Nature Conservatory or renting a Harley and cruising down Alligator Alley.

There’s no shortage of great Floridian adventures available from Kijubi. As soon as you’re able to dig your car out of the snow, make a beeline down the 95 towards the sunshine state, but be sure to check our site first to find out What Kijubi Doing on your trip.
