Description
Explore One of the Most Unique Ecosystems on the Planet!
About
There is only one Everglades National Park. It is in Naples and Marco Island backdoor and a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most unique ecosystems on the Planet. It has been said, "The Everglades are a test. If we pass, we can keep the planet
Led by Florida Master Naturalists, these kayak eco-tours depart daily to the beautiful 10,000 Islands of Everglades National Park, in the habitat of manatees, dolphins, sea turtles and vast numbers of wading and shorebirds. We launch from Chokoloskee Island, the closest access to the Everglades National Park.
The tour routes that we choose vary daily and seasonally. You may paddle to a rookery where hundreds of wading birds nest in a colony; find yourself surrounded by feeding manatees or dolphins; walk on a Calusa Indian shell mound, thousands of years old; or paddle with the tidal currents up a river to view endangered roseate spoonbills or small toothed sawfish.
Many guests choose a private experience. Tours conducted privately are more intimate... just you and your guide. As well, we can tailor the tour to your needs ... specific departure times, sunrise photography, sunsets, birding, etc. Our favorite times to be on the water are very early mornings and late afternoons...wildlife is commonly more active and the lighting best for photography.
You will meet your Florida Master Naturalist Guide at 238 Mamie St. on Chokoloskee Island and simply walk to our launch site. Single and double kayaks are available on every tour. Enjoy lunch before or after your tour at a local seafood cafe or, combine this Everglades National Park Kayak and Eco-Tour with an additional tour!

Cancellation Policy
Fortunately, we are in an area where weather rarely forces us to cancel a tour. We have many choices and options in this wonderful area. However, your captain/guide has the ultimate responsibility for your safety and so will make all "GO and NO-GO'' decisions. There are times when we may delay a departure due to passing weather. If we must make a "NO-GO" decision, you will have an option to reschedule your tour, receive a full refund or join another tour that is not affected by the day's conditions. We want you to enjoy our tours and have a great time. We do realize that situations occur that can alter travel schedules and plans. We limit the number of guests on each tour to assure an intimate experience. Your reservation assures that you will have a position on the tour and that we will not book other guests. Deposits are non-refundable.
If you cancel a tour more than two weeks in advance, you will receive a full refund. If you cancel within two weeks to 72 hours prior to departure, you will have the option to reschedule the tour, receive a non-expiring gift certificate for a future tour or refund less your deposit. If a tour is canceled less than 72 hours prior to the tour departure and you cannot reschedule the tour, the tour fees will be forfeited. At our sole discretion, a full or partial gift certificate may be issued instead.
Weather-Shortened Tours
Florida weather can turn quickly, and your safety always comes first. If conditions force us to end a tour early, here's how we handle it:
If less than half of the tour has been completed, you'll receive a partial refund reflecting the portion of the trip you missed.
If more than half of the tour has already been completed before weather forces us back in, no refund will be issued, as the majority of the experience was delivered.
We know weather delays can be disappointing, and we don't take that lightly. But these guidelines exist for one reason: to keep you and our crew safe out on the water. Thanks for understanding — Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate, but your safety never gets left to chance.
