Paddle beneath mangrove canopies with a naturalist guide on a peaceful three-hour kayak tour through a unique part of the Everglades.
About this tour
Trade engine noise for the hush of water and leaves on a guided paddle through the Everglades’ mangrove forest. This three-hour Everglades mangrove tunnel kayak eco tour offers a peaceful way to experience a distinctive corner of the ecosystem.
Follow a naturalist guide through narrow tidal creeks, where mangroves arch overhead to form shaded tunnels. The route also passes brackish lakes, where fresh and salt water meet. Along the way, your guide interprets the landscape and points out the habitats that support wildlife and plants, including alligators, wading birds, otters, orchids, and bromeliads. Kayaking equipment and a safety briefing are provided, so you can focus on the scenery and the rhythm of the paddle.
Meet in Carnestown at the Everglades Area Chamber of Commerce, near the intersection of US 41 and SR 29. Morning departures are suggested from June through October due to weather. Choose this Everglades mangrove tunnel kayak eco tour for a close-up, unhurried look at the waterways and wildlife of the mangrove forest.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.93 from 360 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Naples
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.6. Top 16% in Naples means it ranks in the top 16% of tours in Naples by this score.
