Add an Everglades Kayak Tour to Complete Your Adventure

An Everglades Kayak Tour is the perfect complement to your River of Grass Airboat Adventure, giving you access to other habitats that make up the Everglades ecosystem. While an airboat is the best way to cover vast stretches of sawgrass and spot tons of alligators, herons, and even sometimes otters; a kayak allows you to slow down and experience the quieter, hidden side of the Everglades.

Adding an Everglades kayak tour allows you to explore habitats that airboats simply can’t reach — like mangrove tunnels and coastal estuaries, where you can experience unique wildlife that otherwise wouldn’t be seen on the River of Grass.

You can book an Everglades City Kayak Tour  or choose a Combo Tour – Boat, Kayak, Walk in Chokoloskee — both located just west of our Miami Everglades location, approximately one hour away.

The drive itself is part of the adventure. You’ll travel along the historic Tamiami Trail through Big Cypress National Preserve, where you can listen to a Self Guided Audio Tour and take in one of the most scenic routes in South Florida. 

Once on the water, paddling quietly through mangrove tunnels gives you the chance to spot wildlife that can only be found in the coastal regions of the Everglades; such as manatees, dolphins, and even the rare possibility of a saltwater crocodile. Did you know that Florida is the only place in the world where Alligators & Crocodiles co-exist?

While a River of Grass Airboat Tour delivers an exhilarating adventure and the ability to cover vast stretches of open water, a kayak offers stillness and the ability to explore narrow & tighter waterways. 

For the most complete Everglades experience, combine both — the thrill of the River of Grass and the quiet magic of the mangroves.
