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.

We did both the kayak mangrove tunnel tour and the 3.5 hour boat trip into the islands and walking on an island looking at shells and Native American artifacts. Extremely informative, relaxing, and intimate. Would do both tours again if we are ever in the area.

The driver of the boat was nice but to soft spoken so people could not hear what he was saying. He also did not add much to the tour as far as explaining things in the Everglades. I believe he was a standby tour guide.

We were very lucky and there were only two of us. The silence, vastness and almost untouched nature are breathtaking. We were able to soak up and enjoy every moment. Our guide “Dan” is a quiet character who certainly doesn’t say a word too much, but is not averse to conversation. As soon as there was something to see, he always had a story about it. The highlight was the school of dolphins, which we were able to get close to. There were probably 10 animals swimming around the boat. When we increased the speed, the animals swam along in the fairway and jumped out of the water on the side of the boat. Sustainably impressive images. If you're looking for a classic tourist offer with constant guide chatter and entertainment, you've come to the wrong place. Here you really get to see nature, even if it may seem unspectacular at times. It was exactly the right thing for us. Thanks for that!
