everglades national park/Ten Thousand Islands NWR

3 to 8 Days

There is truly no other place like it on Earth. The diverse environment of Everglades National Park ranges from coastal beaches to brackish mangrove swamp to freshwater sawgrass prairie. The birdlife is unparalleled, with literally hundreds of species. Our experienced guides can identify them all as we lead paddlers through mangrove mazes to fascinating interior routes, where camping is on chickees and ground sites, and out into the Gulf of Mexico to camp on gorgeous palm tree beaches.

We are the only ones guiding the full 100-mile Wilderness Waterway kayak trip.
