Sea Grape
Big Cypress National Preserve

For the full Sea Grape tour travel from the Tamiami Trail down to Everglades City by way of Sea Grape Dr to Halfway Creek. Sea Grape splits between Sawgrass Prairie and
Mangrove Tunnel and Forests. This Northern section of Halfway Creek was blocked for a while with downed trees but has cleared up since.
Beginning with a large Mangrove Tunnel and opening up to the sawgrass prairies you parallel the Turner River West of it. Once through the Sawgrass region you enter the tunnels again as you weave your way to the lower Halfway Creek and head West back to Glades Haven.
You can also do a 3 hour tour which launches and ends at Sea Grape with a shuttle ride to and from included. For this tour you will travel down through a variety of different
size Mangrove tunnels to the Sawgrass region where you can keep you eyes out for Heron, Ibis, Woodstork and the possible American Alligator (be very quiet though, if they see you before you see them they will most likely hide until you are gone). Then we'll paddle back to the launch to head back to Glades Haven.

Tours are $189 per person for a 5-6 hour tour. This includes the boat, your guide, and a shuttle to the launch. The 3 hour tour is $119 per person and includes the boat, your guide and a shuttle to and from the launch.
