Small Group Boat, Kayak and Walking Guided Eco Tour in Everglades National Park

Small Group Boat, Kayak and Walking Guided Eco Tour in Everglades National Park

Overview

This very popular eco-adventure and combines the best of a boat tour, a kayak tour and a walking tour in a single great learning experience. Depending on the season, you can encounter manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, herons, egrets, pelicans, roseate spoonbills and/or numerous species of fish and shore birds. A very comfortable transport boat will bring you deep into Everglades National Park with your Florida Master Naturalist guide. Once at the first destination, the tour slows down using very stable, comfortable kayaks to get you close to the flora and fauna. Imagine paddling next to a manatee or a dolphin! (No previous kayaking experience is required and there are single and two-person kayaks on every tour). Continue your interpretive experience with a walking tour on remote, pristine barrier island beach … a beach that is seldom visited by others.

The walking on the sand barrier as this was in between 2 islands. The tide was high and provided a great opportunity. Our guide was great. Very knowledgeable.
