Meet
your naturalist guide in the
parking lot of the Gulf Coast Visitor Center
(Everglades City). After a brief paddle
lesson and equipment orientation, we head out on the
water into the
Everglades National
Park. We will
start by paddling
up one of two local rivers (the
Turner
River or the
Lopez
River), tide and weather
determine which route
is best for our tour. After a brief shallow water
crossing, we enter the rivers which branch into a
twisted maze of mangrove swamp
 glades
that beg to be paddled. Often referred to as
"mangrove tunnels", these small creeks and cuts lead
to countless small bays and passages for us to
explore. On our full day
tours we will occasionally stop along the way to
stretch our legs and have lunch (you will want to
bring a sack lunch). Don’t worry about getting lost…
our guide will take care of the elaborate navigation
so that you will have more time to feast your eyes
on the abundance of life in this amazing region. You
will see numerous fish splashing as they swim past
your kayak. A truly great place to watch birds, even
for the most avid birder,
hundreds of birds call this place home in the winter
and year round. You will also want to keep a keen
eye for marine mammals such as the local dolphins
thrashing at mullet fish or the colossal manatee
which are often spotted as they surface to breathe.
Today’s paddle would be similar to the first or last
day of our Everglades Wilderness Waterway tour. This
is a great introduction to the sport of sea kayaking
and your guide will insure a truly memorable
experience. Who knows, maybe you will join us for a
multi-day kayak camping tour to take on the
Wilderness Waterway for yourself.
