We call the “The First On The River Tour” because you will be! We’ll meet pre-sunrise and be on the water as the Everglades Awakens. This is the BEST time for wildlife and we also beat the other big tour groups in and out!
The Everglades is also home the the largest uninhabited mangrove forest in the world! We explore this unique ecosystem through the natural tunnel systems connecting the upland areas of the Everglades to the Gulf of Mexico.
Watching the sunset is a great way to end any day! We operate year round but the prime time for the Sunset Kayak Tour is Oct-May. Outside of that we can always attempt as long as the weather cooperates. Another option is to see the sunset from the 10,000 islands on our Motorboat Tour.
Experience the Florida Everglades at night! We offer specialized Herping Tours, Night Safari Tours and Nocturnal Birding Tours. Big Cypress is also a Dark Sky zone and we a get amazing night sky photos!

Venture through the mangrove tunnels and the grass prairie to the mystic 10,000 Islands. Known as the Amazon of North America, you’ll glide under the canopy of our country’s only subtropical wilderness all the way to Fakahatchee Island.
We start off in the freshwater ecosystem, which is where you’re likely to see alligators, birds, fish, and turtles. Midway through the environment begins to change to a saltwater ecosystem. It’s considered brackish water and. is where we sometimes see manatee. as we make our way further south it becomes a total saltwater ecosystem and that’s where we’re likely to see dolphin as well!
Once you make it to the mouth of the river you'll see your next destination.....the ancient shell island across the bay, Fakahatchee Island. That’s where we’ll stop and have our lunch and explore the island. During our exploration you’ll discover remanence of the ancient Calusa Indians as well as the first settlers of the 1800′s.
From the island you’ll enjoy a leisurely Motorboat Tour through the 10,000 Islands and back to the mainland. This is a 7 hour trip but can be altered if you desired.
