Our family that includes adult aged children enjoyed this. Great sights with great commentary from our guide, Troy. Saw plent of birds and alligators enliven though in the off-season. Easy paddling for sure.

I feel like I am either really easy to please or I just seem to have a lot of good luck when selecting hotels, restaurants and excursions. But on second thought...I (and my husband) always consult Tripadvisor when planning our getaways. Once again it paid off. We enjoyed our kayaking excursion followed by an airboat tour. Our guide, Troy, was... More

We had two nights at the Ivey. It is a great base for exploring the Everglades. We had a room in the newer part with entrance by the pool. The room was large and comfortable with efficient air con .Breakfast is average but there is plenty to eat.Overall, very good value too. Staff are excellent being both very welcoming and... More

Our family of 4 had a wonderful morning spent with John Lewis. We took two tandem kayaks with our 11 and 9 year olds and had no trouble managing the completely calm and flat water. John has degrees in biology and forestry, and spent just the right amount of time teaching us about the ecosystem while giving us time to... More

Our family of 6 recently stayed at the Ivey House and did 2 trips in 1 day - the sunrise and sunset. Both are fabulous and I would go again. Tom and Troy were our guides - Tom was all about the plants, Troy was all about the birds :) We had kayaked in Sarasota too and that guide was... More

We had a great time on our kayak trip and loved every minute of it. Jeff was a talented guide who encourged exploration and gave us all our so called "wings" as inexperienced paddlers. The beautiful majestic roseate spoonbill birds were amazing along with the allegators, spiders and crabs . Kayak exploration is totally quiet and makes you one with... More

We kayaked through the Everglades with our guide, John Lewis. We have taken many tours before but this was a true highlight. John was extremely knowledgeable, having a degree and years of experience in this area. He explained everything and answered all questions while ensuring all participants had a fabulous time. No hard kayaking required and we saw the alligators.... More

We booked a airboat/ kayak trip through Ivey House with friends and can not say enough about how much we enjoyed it!! Hoss was our airboat captain and he was very good about explaining and showing us things during our tour. The airboats are VERY loud but exhilarating. We then went and enjoyed a bagged lunch that we had preordered... More

This company operates out of the Ivey House B&B, which was better than I expected and I actually would try a night there to avoid the early morning drive. We booked the airboat/kayak tour. We arrived as instructed which was a bit too early as far as I am concerned. It only took about 3 minutes to sign waivers and... More
