Immerse yourself in the most pristine and profound Everglades experience available by traveling the 100-mile Wilderness Waterway, a week-long adventure through the Ten Thousand Islands in Southwest Florida’s Everglades National Park. You’ll paddle a kayak or canoe through uninhabited mangrove islets once occupied by Native Americans for thousands of years, but now home only to wild Everglades plants and animals, including crocodiles, flamingos, dolphins, sharks, rays, and countless migratory birds.
You can choose to depart from the Ivey House in Everglades City or the campgrounds near Flamingo. After paddling and camping for 5-10 days you’ll reach the opposite end of the Waterway.
Our shuttles will travel 130 miles by road to pick you up or drop you off, depending on the direction you wish to travel. We can also move your vehicle so it will be waiting for you in Flamingo when you arrive.
Free admission to the Everglades City Boardwalk is also included.
