Depending on the season, you may cross paths with manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, herons, egrets, pelicans, roseate spoonbills, various fish species, and shore birds. A comfortable transport boat, guided by a Florida Master Naturalist, will take you deep into the heart of Everglades National Park. Upon reaching the first destination, the pace of the tour slows down as you maneuver through the landscape in cozy, stable kayaks that bring you close to wildlife and plants. Imagine kayaking alongside a manatee or dolphin! (No previous kayaking experience is necessary, and both single and two-seater kayaks are available on every tour). Your informative journey continues with a walking tour on an untouched, serene barrier island beach that’s rarely trodden by others.
