Along the way, spot dolphins, manatees, and the vibrant birdlife that make the Everglades a living postcard. All rods, reels, leaders, and custom-tied flies are provided, along with gourmet snacks and beverages; full-day charters include lunch on the water. Priced at $550 for a half day (4 hrs) and $750 for a full day (8 hrs) for up to two guests (park pass not included).
