A must-do Everglades experience! - We booked this tour just two days in advance through GetYourGuide, and we couldn’t have chosen a better experience or guide! Shawn was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, plants, and the park overall. We had forgotten our long sleeves, and he was kind enough to lend us two of his shirts so we could stay protected from mosquitoes. The experience itself was amazing, kayaking through the wetlands while learning about the local plants, alligators, and birds was a 10/10 adventure. Highly recommended!

Great wildlife watching, fun paddle - I had a wonderful time on the guided kayak trip of the Everglades. Kenzie, my guide, was very knowledgeable about the various animals and plants. She told us how to navigate our boats around several adult alligators and pointed out lots of amazing birds and turtles. We had someone in our group who had never kayaked before and Kenzie was super helpful as she put the guest at ease and taught her the basics of paddling. I’d definitely recommend this tour if you want to see some wildlife around Everglades National Park!

Everglades kayaking trip - Amazing experience. I have kayaking experience, but none with alligators, so I wasn’t comfortable doing my first trip solo. This was a great introduction into the Everglades. Shaun was great and knowledgeable! Highly recommend.

Great paddle tour - We had a great tour with Sean! I recommend the East River tour. We saw lots of interesting stuff! The alligators were the highlight but also fascinating plants and more!

Evergaldes kayak tour - We had a great kayak tour in the Everglades in September with our guide Sean. He was a super guide – very friendly, attentive and with a lot of knowledge about nature. Since there were many mosquitoes, he even brought us extra long-sleeved sweaters from home so we wouldn't get bitten. We saw two alligators on the way and the whole tour was a unique experience. Highly recommended!

Make sure to wear long sleeve and long pants - Sean was great, took us around the mangroves. Unfortunately the mosquitoes were bad but we made the most of it. He had ice cold water for us as well and knowledgeable about the area and history.
