10,000 Islands Sea Kayaking

Dates: 3.8.22 - 3.13.22

On this expedition, you will be paddling through lush mangrove tunnels in a land of contrast: between tropic and semi-tropic, land and sea, and salt and fresh water. You and your crew will learn to work together to read tide charts, explore unique ecosystems, cook, and set-up camp on white sandy beaches under the stars as you paddle to new areas each day. You will also learn about what makes the Ten Thousand Islands famous worldwide, the unique ecological value of the area, and how we can better take care of it.
