Zeekoeien en mangrovetunnels Kajaktocht met kleine groepen
Beschrijving
Deze tourroute is zonder twijfel de meest unieke kajaktocht in het gebied en biedt gasten de grootste kans om wilde dieren op de bucketlist te spotten tijdens een bezoek aan het Everglades-gebied. Deze tour start vanaf een lanceerplaats met alleen vergunning binnen het 10.000 Islands Wildlife Refuge. Deze route vereist een goede planning en vakkennis vanwege de wisselende getijden. Geen enkel ander bedrijf is in staat of bereid om de tijd te nemen die nodig is voor dit soort planning. Gasten beginnen hun peddeltocht door de kwelder, een populaire voedselzone voor tal van langbenige waadvogels en rivierotters. 30 minuten in de gasten zullen een verandering in habitat opmerken, overgaand in mangroven, wat wijst op een verandering in zoutgehalte en hoogte. Dit is waar je een van de beste mangrovetunnels in de provincie binnengaat. Na talloze mangrovetunnels, kreken en vijvers en hopelijk tonnen dieren in het wild, zullen de gasten het Faka-unionkanaal verlaten in een veilige zone voor zeekoeien. Het hele jaar door deskundige kajakgidsen inbegrepen!

No wildlife, do not go in June. We barely seen a manatee that my 10 year old son found. Not worth the money, this is a tourist take your money trap.
Great experience. Small group. Kayak drop off and pick up is right by the check in area so you aren't spending 1/2 hour in a van traveling to and from. The guides were amazing and so knowledgeable. The provided mosquito netting which as a game changer this trip. Sad that the wildlife is so dissipated from the anaconda population.
Kayaking through the mangrove trees, appreciating the history and the beauty of the land through our amazing tour guide Adam, was an experience that we will talk about for the rest of our lives. Highly recommend giving this a go and getting out there! Also, got to see some manatees up close and personal!
Great experience. Adam our guide did an amazing job! We all highly recommend this tour! We will be back.
An unforgettable morning with Adam — manatees, mangroves, and pure magic We did the Manatees & Mangroves kayak tour out of Port of the Islands with Adventure Paddle Tours and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had in Naples. From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth — confirmation texts, easy check-in, and top-quality gear ready to go. Our guide Adam absolutely made the trip. He was friendly, patient, and genuinely passionate about the 10,000 Islands and the Everglades. He took the time to give us a proper paddling lesson before we launched, kept the group of 7 close-knit and comfortable, and had an incredible eye for wildlife — we spotted a variety of birds, and even glided through the most beautiful mangrove tunnels I’ve ever seen. Adam shared just the right mix of ecology, local history, and humor without it ever feeling like a lecture. You can tell he truly lives and loves this place. The small group size (way better than the crowded tours elsewhere) made it feel personal, and the free HD photos he took were a wonderful surprise to take home. Three hours flew by. If you’re in Naples and on the fence — book it. Ask for Adam if you can. Worth every penny, and I’ll absolutely be back!
Adam is a great guide and we had a great time!
Excellent communication. Adam went out of his way to have us experience as many native animals and plants as possible. Big on our list of course were manatees and alligators and we saw both! He did not rush us and gave us helpful suggestions for navigating the mangroves. I would highly recommend this tour to family, friends, and everyone else!
Adam was such a knowledgeable guide! After a quick set of instructions, we were on our way to a beautiful adventure. The mangroves created a challenging, yet fun course. As a bonus, we came across a 6 foot alligator! And a ton of bull sharks! I highly recommend this tour! It did not disappoint!
This tour was excellentThis is a great tour. My 16 year old son and I did this tour on a cloudy day in early April. It was about 72 degrees. The meeting point was clear, the organization was well done and the guide was informative and clear. Our guide was Adam and he did a fantastic job. The thing I like about kayaking is that it is accessible to more people than hiking or biking but it gets you closer to nature than a tour on a larger boat. Plus the only way to really navigate the mangroves is via a small flat bottom boat like a kayak. Only thing to keep in mind: Depending on recent rains and depending on cloud cover, you may not be able to find or see manatees. However, we were happy with the alligators, bull sharks, heron and other animals we were able to observe in their habitat. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
