Everglades, FL Guided Five-Day Expedition Kayak Trip
January 12 - 16, 2009
February 9 - 13, 2009
$895 per person (all taxes included)
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 campsites are at various 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, 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 also need to provide your own tent, sleeping bag, and pad. However, tents and pads are available for rent.

(shorter duration custom trips also available, contact us for more information)
The 10,000 Islands Region of the Everglades is well known for its fishing, camping and kayaking, so why not combine them for a fantastic vacation! Our top priority on these week-long vacations is catching fish, and kayaks are our mode of transportation to the camping and fishing spots.
During the trip our target fish are snook, redfish and sea trout. Most of the time will be spent wade-fishing, but as your kayaking skills develop you’ll have the opportunity to try fishing from your kayak. The camping spots are on the beach and you’ll always want to have your rod handy, as you can often see fish cruising the flats from your tent!

Canadian St. Lawrence Islands Guided Expedition Kayak Trip
Please contact us or email for 2008 & 2009 dates and availability
$495 per person, double occupancy (includes all taxes)
The St. Lawrence Islands National Park of Canada is located between Kingston and Brockville, Ontario. The park is comprised of approximately 20 historic islands scattered throughout the St. Lawrence River. Each island has its own unique history – some islands were used as farmlands, some had large Inns for the rich and famous, and some have remained untouched and unspoiled. Paddling through the park will afford you views of historic forts, gunboat exhibits, a multitude of waterfowl, and ancient petroglyphs. You’ll also want to keep an eye out below your boat; due to the zebra mussels the waters of the St. Lawrence are as crystal clear as the Caribbean Sea.
The trip will begin in the town of Gananoque, Ontario, where the first night will be spent in waterside cabins. The following morning we will pack our boats and head out for 4 days and 3 nights of paddling and camping. Our daily paddles will average between four to eight miles in length, depending upon conditions. There will be plenty of time each day to explore the islands, lounge, read a book at the waterside, or fish these superb waters.
This trip is an introduction expedition trip and is designed for the individual who has had prior paddling experience. This trip is held during the “off-season,” as boat traffic along the St. Lawrence River tends to increase to a high level during the later summer months. The weather during this time of year can be unpredictable, so you should be prepared for possible chilly nights, and the potential for rain always exists.
The cost of the trip includes one night of cabin lodging, 3 nights of camping, all on-water meals, and all paddling equipment (if needed). You will need to provide your own tent, sleeping bag, and pad (tents and bags are available for rent). Not included in the cost of the trip is transportation to Gananoque, Ontario, gratuities for the guides, and medical expenses due to injury or illness.
