No kayaking experience necessary!

In February, we head south to Kayak in Everglades National Park.  We've been leading trips in the Everglades for 16 years now.  Trips take place in February.  Typical weather is 75-85 day time/55-65 night temps. and best of all few, if any insects.  Its the best time of year to visit the Everglades.  Wildlife is abundant and we typically see:  ospreys, egrets, herons, brown and white pelicans, roseate spoonbills, dolphins, manatees, many forms of sealife such as starfish, conch, crabs, fish and much more.  Be sure to bring your camera.  The shelling is also incredible with a large variety of perfect shells of all kinds.  

We paddle out on a Monday from Everglades City, Florida near Naples and return on a Friday for the 5 day trip.  We camp on deserted islands sugar-fine, white sand beaches. You don't need any kayaking experience just average physical ability and an adventurers heart.  A typical trip consists of packing up and leaving in the morning, paddling 4 -5 hours and setting up a base camp.  Then you can choose to take one of the daily kayaking trips, or hang out on the beach and fish, sun or read.  Or you can paddle one day and relax the next.  You will enjoy our nightly campfires and incredible star gazing.  Lodging packages for before and after kayak trip are available.  You can drive and meet us in Everglades City, Florida or fly to Fort Myers , Florida airport and we'll pick you up.
