The Boat Assisted Kayak Eco Tour combines the best of a boating tour, a kayaking tours and a walking tour into a single wonderful experience. Using a dedicated kayak transport boat you are comfortably and safely transported to some of the most beautiful and remote areas of the Everglades National Park. Once you reach one of the many destinations, the transport boat will "slow" the tour down and turn it into a "hands-on" eco-experience.
Very stable, comfortable kayaks are used to get you close to the flora and fauna. You will continue your interpretive experience with a walking tour on pristine barrier island beach; an island that is seldom visited by others. There is a lot to see and a lot to experience on these barrier islands such as the wrack lines, shallow tidal zones, dunes, uniquely adapted plants, mangrove swamps, many different invertebrate species, lots of shells and much more. Every day and every tide is different.
