Guide was top. Small group as described. Very good instruction for the boats and many useful tips in handling the boats. Great route through the mangrove landscape with many beautiful references to flora and fauna.

Without question, this tour route is the most unique kayak tour in the area and offers guests with the greatest opportunity to spot bucket list wildlife while visiting the Everglades area. This tour launches from a permit only launch site within the 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge. This route requires proper planning and expert knowledge due to the fluctuating tides. No other company is capable or willing to take the time needed for this type of planning. Guests will start their paddle through the salt marsh, a popular feeding zone for numerous long-legged wading birds and river otters. 30 minutes in guests will notice a change in habitat, transitioning into Mangroves, indicating a change in salinity and elevation. This is where you will enter one of the best Mangrove Tunnels in the county. After numerous mangrove tunnels, creeks and ponds and hopefully tons of wildlife guests will then empty out into a manatee safe zone the Faka-union Canal. Year Round expert kayak guides included!

Kyle was a great guide!! Highly recommend!. Best part was through the mangroves narrow canopies. The water was very clear in most parts and we were able to see a lot of wildlife.

Cameron was very knowledgeable and fun. He guided us through the mangroves and shared lots of fun facts. It was a small group and that made it extra nice.

For my mother it was the first time kayaking, Kyle and Cameron supported us in every situation and told us great things about doe nature. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone at any time. You get to know another side of nature in Florida
