Summary:
We had an incredible time kayaking with Sean! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour fun and easy to follow. We learned a lot about the Everglades.
We didn’t see any alligators at the 8 am tour, so you might want to choose the 1 pm tour.
Highly recommend this tour — and definitely ask for Sean!

Summary:
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!
