Amazing 2 hours - We loved this tour. Sean, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw a couple of gators, a snake, and many birds, and local plants. Going through the mangrove was amazing.

Would do it again tomorrow! - We had an excellent time with our small group and knowledgeable guide, Sean. He knew so much about the area, took us on such a cool route, and we experienced some really cool sights, including quite a few alligators! We also had such a great experience with the nice gentleman who helped us register for the tour via the phone. Friendly and helpful staff, great trip, 5 stars all around.

Good as advertised - Sean provided a good mix of information, interaction, protection and silence as we paddled through a mangrove tunnel, saw a huge cyprus, patient nest, and enough alligators to lose count.

Amazing 👏 - Wow what an amazing couple of hours we had on the water. Sean our guide was ace ! Friendly and extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife and The Everglades in general, we learnt so much which was a bonus. We saw a lot of awesome wildlife including alligators and a range of beautiful birds.
We were also lucky enough to see an Osprey nest with babies. Thankyou Sean for a fantastic experience that we'll never forget.

A real highlight in the Everglades - It was just great! Shawn showed us a lot and explained everything in an understandable way. We could see alligators and even a crocodile. The nature there is also simply unique. Overall it was a really great experience. Highly recommended.
We took advantage of the combined offer and booked both the tour and the accommodation at Everglades Adventures Hotel Suites by Ivey House together through the hotel website and thus got a discount. Also the suites I can highly recommend. The offer is also available at the other hotels of Ivey House.

Don't Miss This Opportunity! - We loved our kayak experience. At a little over 2 hours, it was the perfect length and our guide, Shawn, was everything you want a guide to be. Smoke from a wildfire forced them to choose a different section of the park, but it didn't seem to affect the quality of our adventure. The best part was paddling through the mangroves, but we enjoyed the rest, as well. Highly recommend!

Into darkness with the gators - We did the Twilight Tour. Started with sunshine and ended in the dark. Headlamps were needed and supplied by our guide, Langdon (Alligator Whisperer). Never kayaked at nightime before. Very cool!! Highly recommend.
