About this activity

This tour will allow you to experience the mysterious and iconic Everglades National Park on this small group (less than 12 guests) adventure led by a Florida Master Naturalist or a trained biologist. You will explore three unique habitats by hiking with your guide.

You may choose between a 90-minute boat trip which will allow you the opportunity to see diverse habitats as well as many plants and animals including wading birds, alligators, crocodiles, manatees, turtles and fish!

A picnic lunch with vegan and vegetarian choices is included along with snacks and drinks throughout the day. We are one of only a couple of operators permitted to guide tours in Everglades National Park!

We pride ourselves with authentic, immersive and genuine (non-touristy) experiences! All of our guides are all master naturalists or biologists.
