Coastal Plains Adventures

Coastal Plains Adventures is the outreach portion of the Coastal Plains Institute. CPI is a nonprofit organization based in North Florida. Our mission is to preserve the biotic diversity of the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States.  From guided trips down spring-fed rivers with our Secrets of the River series to exploring what makes the Big Bend of Florida so unique with the our Big Bend Biodiversity tours, Coastal Plains Adventures offers scheduled small group or custom adventure trips. Our tours are ideal for people who love learning about the cultural and natural history of our unique areas, nature photographers, outdoor enthusiasts, and ecologists.

Ryan Means, outdoor educator, naturalist, and explorer, is your expert guide with over 30 years of experience for all Coastal Plains adventures.  As naturalist and outdoor explorer, Ryan has journeyed through many iconic wild areas of our planet including the Outback of Australia, the Amazon basin and Guyana Shield of South America, the USA, and to what may be his favorite—the Alaskan wilderness. Ryan rejuvenates his well-being through frequent forays or all-out expeditions into wild areas. One of his greatest desires in life is to help others establish their own connection with the natural world.
