This is a canoeing and camping trip through Florida’s freshwater swamps, brackish estuaries and white sand beaches of the Keys. Paddle through a maze of islands and mangrove estuaries, looking for dolphins, manatees and pelicans. Hopefully spy white ibis, osprey, and possibly a roseate spoonbill in this paradise where air plants and exotic flowers flourish.

We will paddle 17-foot Old Town Tripper canoes, which hold two to three paddlers, plus all necessary gear. An average day's travel will consist of 4-6 hours of paddling, depending on the tides and weather.

Base camp will be out on one of the keys. At night we will sleep in a comfortable Eureka Timberline tent.
