This very popular eco-adventure and combines the best of a boat tour, a kayak tour and a walking tour in a single great learning experience. Depending on the season, you can encounter manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, herons, egrets, pelicans, roseate spoonbills and/or numerous species of fish and shore birds. A very comfortable transport boat will bring you deep into Everglades National Park with your Florida Master Naturalist guide. Once at the first destination, the tour slows down using very stable, comfortable kayaks to get you close to the flora and fauna. Imagine paddling next to a manatee or a dolphin! (No previous kayaking experience is required and there are single and two-person kayaks on every tour). Continue your interpretive experience with a walking tour on remote, pristine barrier island beach … a beach that is seldom visited by others. Note: June through October, we suggest the morning experiences due to the weather.

From: $0.00

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the eco tour?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but kids should be at least 5 years old to participate in the kayak portion. It's a great family-friendly activity, and they offer tandem kayaks for younger kids to go with an adult. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need a bit more help paddling!

Q: What should I wear for the kayak and walking tour?

A: Definitely wear quick-drying clothes! A swimsuit or breathable clothing works best since you might get wet. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat—sun can be brutal out there. Also, good water shoes or sandals are a must for the walking part on the beach.

Q: What if the weather turns bad? Will they reschedule the tour?

A: Yes, if the weather isn't safe, they will definitely reschedule. Usually, they keep an eye on the forecast and will reach out to you if there's a cancellation. So, you won’t lose your money! Just be sure to check your email or give them a call if you're worried.

Thinking of gifting the Everglades eco tour!

I'm looking at the Small Group Boat, Kayak and Walking Guided Eco Tour in the Everglades for my parents' anniversary! They've never kayaked before, but I think they'd love the experience of seeing dolphins and manatees up close. Is it really as good as it sounds? Any tips?

Anyone do the walking part of the eco tour?

Curious about what to expect on the walking part of the eco tour. I want to know if it's easy or if there's a lot of uneven ground. Also, how long does that part typically last? Just trying to gauge how I should prepare!
