    Mangrove Tunnel Kayak Tour with Naturalist in Matlacha Pass

    Explore shady mangrove mazes with a Certified Florida Master Naturalist

    Duration

    4 hrs

    Includes

    Kayak & gear, naturalist guide

    Highlights

    Paddle through the tunnels and clear-water creeks of Matlacha Pass with a Certified Florida Master Naturalist. This nature-focused tour takes a relatively leisurely pace, though you'll still encounter wind and currents.

    • Discover red, black and white mangroves alongside tropical seagrape
    • Look for wood storks, white pelicans, dolphins and manatees along the waterways
    • Ride in comfortable sit-inside tandem kayaks that reduce the number of boats near wildlife and make guide communication easier

    Itinerary

    • The entire experience takes about 4 hours, and we'll be on the water for 3 hours. Upon meeting at the appointed time we will sign in, go over some safety information and then get the equipment in the water. This takes approximately ½ hour. At the completion of the tour we allow another ½ hour to get all the equipment put away.

    Important details

    • All adults must have the strength to help unload the kayaks, move them into the water and load them back onto the trailer afterward
    • Under 18s require a participating responsible adult, who must also sign their waiver
    • Gratuity is not included in the listed price and is optional
    • Complete the electronic liability waiver before arriving; this applies to every participant, including minors
    • Arrive on time. The tour may depart without you if you're more than 15 minutes late

    Cancellation Policy

    Tickets are nonrefundable and cannot be rescheduled. The tour usually runs in light rain and moderate weather. The operator may cancel up to 1 hour before the start for severe or unsafe weather. If the operator cancels, you can reschedule subject to availability or receive credit for a future tour.

    Product ID: 7NDEZK

    FAQs

    No. Only sit-inside tandem kayaks are used, but they handle like a single kayak when paddled alone.

    Yes. Free parking is available at the kayak tour's meeting location.

    Bring water or another non-alcoholic drink, plus lunch or a snack. You'll stop to eat midway through the tour.
