Paddle mangrove tunnels and freshwater waterways on a guided Everglades kayak safari, with wildlife, snacks, and a naturalist guide.

About this tour

Paddle into a quieter side of the Everglades on a guided kayak safari through mangrove tunnels and freshwater habitat. This 2-hour Everglades Kayak Safari introduces you to a remarkable Southwest Florida landscape, with a naturalist guide leading the way and helping you look for wildlife along the route.

Before setting out, get safety instructions and a paddle talk, then settle into a stable kayak with an adjustable seat and life jacket. Along the river, cypress trees draped in Spanish moss frame the water, while alligators may bask along the banks and birds search for food. The route passes through three ecosystems, offering an engaging introduction to the area. Bottled water, snacks, and dry bags or boxes for your belongings are provided.

The meeting point is at the intersection of Highway 41 and Highway 29. Wear clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting dirty, and bring sun and bug protection. Join this Everglades Kayak Safari for a close-up look at the region’s waterways and wildlife, guided by a professional naturalist.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 19 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 8.0. Top 28% in Naples means it ranks in the top 28% of tours in Naples by this score.
