Matlacha Pass Mangrove Kayak Tour with Naturalist Guide

Follow your guide through Florida's mangrove creeks on a leisurely, nature-focused kayak tour. Using fewer kayaks helps limit disturbance to wildlife and makes it easier to communicate with your guide.

• Paddle a sit-inside tandem kayak with comfortable seating and plenty of legroom
• Discover the estuary's ecology with a Florida Master Naturalist
• Look for birds, fish, manatees and dolphins along the waterways
• Watch for migrating white pelicans from November through March

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

• Requires enough strength to help move kayaks between the trailer and the water. All adults share this responsibility, including moving the guide's kayak. Paddling involves wind and currents.
• Under 18s require a responsible adult to participate and sign their waiver.
• Sign the online liability waiver before arriving. Everyone, including minors, must sign before taking part.
• Arrive on time to allow for parking. If you're 15 minutes late, the tour may leave without you.
