Without question, this tour route is the most unique kayak tour in the area and offers guests with the greatest opportunity to spot bucket list wildlife while visiting the Everglades area. This tour launches from a permit only launch site within the 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge. This route requires proper planning and expert knowledge due to the fluctuating tides. No other company is capable or willing to take the time needed for this type of planning. Guests will start their paddle through the salt marsh, a popular feeding zone for numerous long-legged wading birds and river otters. 30 minutes in guests will notice a change in habitat, transitioning into Mangroves, indicating a change in salinity and elevation. This is where you will enter one of the best Mangrove Tunnels in the county. After numerous mangrove tunnels, creeks and ponds and hopefully tons of wildlife guests will then empty out into a manatee safe zone the Faka-union Canal. Year Round expert kayak guides included!

Just booked the Manatees and Mangrove Tunnels tour! Any tips?

Hey everyone! I just booked the Manatees and Mangrove Tunnels kayak tour in Naples for next weekend. I'm super excited but also a bit nervous. I’ve heard the wildlife is amazing and the mangrove tunnels are breathtaking. Any tips on what to wear or bring? Also, how likely are we to see manatees? Thanks!

What an unforgettable experience kayaking with manatees!

I went on the Manatees and Mangrove Tunnels tour last month and it was incredible! We saw so many manatees and the mangrove tunnels were such a unique experience. The guides were super knowledgeable. Just a heads up, if you’re going in summer, it can get hot so hydrate well!
