We offer a variety of kayak tours, but if you are looking to kayak amongst the majestic manatees, this is the best area in Southwest Florida to do it. (For the true Everglades experience, however, check out our Mangrove Tunnel Tours*). On this adventure we paddle through a sawgrass prairie, mangrove tunnels, and small open lakes on our search for wildlife, hoping to see wading birds feeding on fish, alligators basking in the sun, and the elusive manatee. We do want to mention that this trip is different from our Everglades trips in a few ways. First of all, the wildlife is not as predictable and there tends to be slightly less biodiversity. Secondly, there are tides and winds that can make the paddling require more energy than our slow water Everglades trips. Finally, the end of the tour will take us to a small, quaint neighborhood canal in Port of the Islands. This is the place where we (as well as other companies) see the most manatees in the Naples/Marco Island area. They love to bask in the warm water here. That being said, this tour is very unique and very beautiful. It offers serenity and solitude and beautiful sandy island beaches to paddle by.
