Ideal way to explore the Everglades - I have done the Mangrove tour twice and had an outstanding time, both times. This kayak tour is the best way to experience the Everglades. And passing through the tightly-woven, cavernous Mangrove tunnels adds a fun challenge (I would discourage tandem kayaks for this one).
I would like to give a shout out to our tour guide, Aiden. He is very passionate about his work and provides great information on this region's fauna, flora, and history.
As a Floridian, I would not recommend visiting the Everglades during the Summer. If the heat doesn't get you, the deer flies and mosquitos will show no mercy. It's best to visit between November - April, in the cooler season.

Very accomodating guide for a fun and informative experrience - We signed up for a 2-hour kayaking tour into mangrove tunnels. About 10 minutes into the trip we realized that the tour was too strenuous for us (we are healthy 70 somethings). The guide James was very accomodating and changed the itinerary to a slow paddling along the shorelines, that still included very interesting information about the flora and fauna. We were very pleased that we still were able to have a fun and informative experience
