The route follows the creek north under the Overseas Highway, then turns back to the marina where you started.Is it for me?Book this kayak if you want to paddle into narrow forest tunnels and a secluded lagoon where motorized boats can't go.

Wild Florida Airboat Tour: Everglades Wildlife ParkA 7-hour tour from Orlando, Kissimmee or Disney areas that combines a 30 or 60-minute airboat ride through the Everglades headwaters with a walk through Wild Florida's wildlife park, where you see alligators, birds, lemurs, sloths and a Florida panther. Hotel pickup, a BBQ basket lunch and a souvenir family photo are included; your guide is live and speaks English.Is it for me?Choose the 30-minute airboat ride if you want a shorter day and more time walking the Wildlife Park; the 60-minute ride suits you if you'd rather spend the bulk of your time on the water and see more of the Everglades headwaters. Both packages include the same park access and lunch, so the difference is how you split your afternoon between the boat and the forest.
