Rooted In Adventure

About Us

Guided by the water

As an avid outdoorsman with a natural ability to craft a compelling story, Joey began guiding water excursions on the East Coast of Florida in 2018. After returning to his home state of Arkansas in 2020, he fell back in love with the state’s vast landscapes and abundant wildlife. Now he’s guiding and connecting people to their ecosystem through Arkie Cypress River Excursions, his way of helping people conquer new adventures and learn about their surroundings.

The heartbeat of Arkie Cypress River Excursions is to empower people to explore their surroundings and be confident in navigating the landscape. Through years of his own explorations and gathering the story of the Natural State, Joey is sure to help you embrace the Natural State and your own abilities as you float the waterways.
