Everglades Area Tours

Everglades Area Tours operates guided kayak, canoe, boat, and hiking eco-tours across Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, the 10,000 Islands, and Rookery Bay—the only operator working across all four protected ecosystems. All guides are full-time Florida Master Naturalists with 25+ years of regional experience. Tours are limited to six guests and include the popular Boat Assisted Kayak Eco Tour combining paddling with wildlife encounters of manatees and dolphins, half-day Mangrove Tunnel paddles through cathedral-like tunnels, Wildlife Alligator & Orchids tours through freshwater marshes and cypress swamps, Turner River paddles through Everglades and Big Cypress, and full-day sea kayaking in the 10,000 Islands for experienced paddlers. Multi-day boat-assisted base camp trips transport gear and provisions to remote island camps. The family-owned business has operated since the late 1990s and holds Florida SEE Certification Silver, one of only eight firms in Florida.
