Adventure Tips
Wear insect repellent
Mosquitoes and no-see-ums are common, especially near mangroves and marshes—repellent helps keep the buzzers at bay.
Bring plenty of water
South Florida’s heat and humidity can dehydrate you quickly during paddling and hiking segments—stay hydrated throughout your adventure.
Dress for sun protection
Lightweight, long-sleeve shirts and wide-brim hats protect skin during open-air airboat rides and exposed trails.
Wear quick-dry shoes
Prepare for wet conditions with shoes that dry quickly and offer good traction for slippery trails and boat docks.
