Small-Group Everglades Boating Kayaking and Walking Eco Tour

Overview

We are the "Quiet Alternative to an Airboat Ride". A boating, kayaking and walking tour in Everglades National Park. Our most popular tour!
Park at our shop, a local historic building.
With your Florida Master Naturalist Guide, you will take a short golf cart ride to your boat.
On the boat, while searching for dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, rosette spoonbills, herons, egrets, ospreys, eagles and shore birds, learn about the Everglades different ecosystems, its long history and rich culture.
At 1st sheltered destination, we will deploy very stable kayaks. The stealth of the kayak allows you to get close to the flora and fauna.
Our next destination is an uninhabited barrier island beach where you will be led on a leisurely, hands-on walking tour. Expect to see more seashells than you ever have.
After the walk, we are back in the kayaks, then the boat, then the golf cart and back to home base

Note: June through October, we suggest the morning experiences due to the weather.

What a beautiful way to explore the Everglades! Captain Dan was so knowledgeable about the history and animals/plants found in the Everglades. We did a four hour tour (boat assisted kayak eco tour) and only saw four other boats during that time. We saw lots of birds, a raccoon swimming (who knew?), and a couple of Atlantic bottle nosed dolphins. We got out on a deserted island and saw lots of beautiful shells and several sea turtle nests. We finished with a kayak paddle tour around another uninhabited island. It was just the right amount of kayaking. We would do this tour again in a heartbeat. We learned so much about the Everglades and feel like we truly were able to not experience them but truly appreciate the beauty and importance of them. Great job, Captain Dan. You obviously love and respect the history and culture of the place you call home.

Thank you very much for your review. The Boat Assisted Kayak Eco Tour is awesome...but nothing in comparision to the Everglades. Dan definitely is passionate about his back yard. Please come again!

Capitan Don was amazing! So knowledgeable and friendly, made sure to give everyone in the group time to hear what he had to say and take the lead to get some incredible photos and experiences. My husband and I booked this excursion last minute and we are so happy we did!

Thank you for your review. Don is one of, if not THE most experienced and knowledgeable guides in our area.

This tour is definitely the BEST way to see all the wonders of the Everglades! A refreshing flat-bottom boat ride through the pathways of the Everglades, encountering the wide range of bird life as well as bottle-nose dolphins and other aquatic creatures. Adding a quiet and peaceful kayak tour into hidden places and a short walking tour of the sandy islands topped off a very enjoyable 3-hour (+) morning. "Captain Dan" is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced guides we have ever known.
