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.

Captain Don was very knowledgeable about the area. We learned more about shells and birds than we could have imagined. We saw a lot of dolphins, a jumping stingray and many beautiful birds. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful time with our guide Carter. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job with the kids. This tour gave us the opportunity to learn a lot about the mangrove. We had a lot of close encounters with the wildlife but felt safe at every point of time. I would recommend it over an airboat ride.

We went on the eco tour with Captain Don. He is so laid back, explains in great detail all of the flora and fauna that we saw. And there was a lot to see - dolphins, osprey with babies, cormorants (and juvenile cormorants and he told us how to tell the difference), a great horned owl, ibis, blue herons (including a baby blue heron!). Told us a lot about mangroves. Including how they propagate. Don was a wealth, no, a font of information. Definitely ask for Don if you are going to take this tour. Also, make sure you go at low tide. We went at high tide and he told us all the things the people who had toured at low tide saw. Definitely would do this again!
