Be it on foot, bicycle, kayak, canoe, power boat, and/or airplane, you will enjoy a complete experience with Everglades Area Tours.
Our most popular eco-adventure, the Boat Assisted Kayak ECO Tour combines the best if a boat tour, a kayak tour and a walking tour in single great experience. The tour begins a very comfortable transport boat that brings you into the Park' core and very near to the wildlife. We then "slow" down the tour using very stable, very comfortable kayaks to get you very close to the wildlife. They are very silent and unobtrusive to the wildlife allowing you to get closer to the wildlife than by any other means. Finally we explore the tidal zone of a remote island beach. A beach few can ever get to. Expect excellent shelling here! Imagine paddling next to manatees and dolphins. No previous paddling experience is required, we do not paddle far and we have single, as well as, two-person kayaks. This tour truly is one of the best ways to experience Everglades National Park. Seating is limited to six guests, so reservations are important.
