Florida Everglades Spring Break Adventure

This spring break, trade the tourist traps for towering cypress trees, crystal-clear coastal waters, and gator-filled swamps. Join us for an epic Everglades adventure—a one-of-a-kind trip where you’ll camp under the stars, snorkel in the ocean, and get up close with the raw, untamed beauty of Florida’s wildest ecosystem.  

Stroll along the Anhinga Trail boardwalk viewing herons, turtles, alligators, and anhingas; Feel the wind in your hair as you speed across the River of Grass on an airboat ride—and spot gators, birds, and maybe a python or two (from a safe distance, of course); Snorkel & explore the vibrant marine life of Florida’s nearby ocean coast; Wade through a magical world of towering trees, clear water, and hidden wildlife on the Cypress Swamp Walk; Kayak in local rivers; And after the day’s adventure, kick back around the fire with your crew, stargaze, and fall asleep to the sounds of the Everglades.
