Paddle through Everglades sawgrass and mangrove tunnels, then look for manatees and alligators on a small-group kayak tour.

About this tour

Paddle into the Everglades on a small-group kayak tour through sawgrass prairies and winding mangrove tunnels, with the chance to spot manatees along the way. This three-hour outing follows a quieter route through a distinctive landscape of open grasslands and shaded waterways.

Your guide leads the paddle through the maze of mangroves before the group spends around half an hour looking for manatees and alligators in the Port of the Islands canal, where warmer water attracts manatees. Stable, comfortable kayaks make it easier to enjoy the scenery, while dry bags and waterproof phone cases help protect your gear. Snacks are provided, and bottled water is available if you do not bring your own. Parking and kayak launch fees are covered.

Everglades manatee, grasslands and mangroves kayak tour guests should bring shoes that can get wet or dirty, plus a change of clothes and a towel for afterward. Meet your guide by the boat ramp and kiosk at the Port of the Islands Marina. Join this small-group paddle for a closer look at the Everglades’ waterways and wildlife.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 7.1.
