This 3-hour kayak tour in Naples takes place in the mangrove tunnels of the Florida Everglades. The tour is led by a naturalist guide who provides explanations about the local ecosystem throughout the trip. Participants receive kayaking equipment and a safety briefing before launching their single-person kayaks. No prior kayaking experience is needed. The route includes paddling through brackish lakes connected by narrow tidal creeks covered by a mangrove canopy about 10 feet high. This area contains the largest mangrove forest in North America. The guide points out various wildlife such as alligators, herons, egrets, stilts, ducks, wood storks, spoonbills, otters, orchids, bromeliads, and different fish species. The tour offers a quiet and natural setting that contrasts with louder airboat rides. The mangrove forest regulates moisture and humidity, supporting the plants and animals in this unique environment. The tour is recommended in the mornings from June through October due to weather conditions. Gratuities, hotel pickup or drop-off, and food or drinks are not included.
