Everglades Kayak Trips
"We knew nothing about Scott when we went on our first trip. We were VERY impressed. Scott is not only an excellent paddler, he is an experienced and responsible outdoor guide, and an accomplished group leader. Though Scott was easy going and good humored, we were very aware that he was watching the weather and the tides at all times. He had alternative plans for each day based on conditions and it was clear that if the weather created conditions beyond the ability levels of anyone in the group, we would not paddle. When we were on the water, Scott clearly was watchful of everyone in the group, without being over-protective. "

Everglades Beach Camping Kayak Trip
2012 Dates: January 16-20, February 6-10, February 13-17
$895 per person
Spend five full days paddling and camping in the northern region of the Everglades "10,000 Islands Region!" This trip takes you into the winding mangrove waterways along the coast, as well as out to the pristine white sandy beaches that are scattered throughout the region. Padding the Gulf of Mexico waters as we island-hop,we'll be looking out for dolphins, rays, and a wide array of birds including osprey, bald eagle, anhinga, roseate spoonbill, herons, and egrets. Many of the islands of this region were originally shell mounds created by the Calusa Indians, and over time these islands grew to be quite large. White sand beaches stretch along many of these islands and offer inviting lunch and camp sites. During our paddles and nights in camp you’ll also learn about the Everglade’s colorful history as the “last frontier” – a history not so far away in time that includes alligator hunters, drug runners, and murderers! Our four nights will be spent at campsites at various island beach and ground sites. After setting up camp, there is plenty of time to explore the islands, go shell-hunting, read a book, or fish the flats for the redfish, sea trout, and snook the Everglades are famous for. The evenings are spent enjoying dinner, watching the sunset, and relaxing by the campfire. This trip is designed for paddlers with some previous kayaking experience. Basic paddling and safety instruction will be reviewed at the beginning of the trip. You should be in good health and accustomed to regular exercise. The cost of the trip includes all equipment (kayak and paddling accessories), local transportation (as needed), and all on-water meals. Not included in the cost is air or land transportation to the Everglades City, Florida area, lodging before or after the trip, any meals not previously mentioned, alcoholic beverages, gratuities for the guides, or medical expenses due to injury or illness. You will want to secure your own lodging in Everglades City or nearby for the night before the trip begins and the night after the trip ends. You will need to provide your own tent, sleeping bag, and pad. However, tents and pads are available for rent.
