Everglades Kayaking
About the Area
Naples, Marco Island and the western portion of the Everglades
make up Southwest Florida's Collier County – also known
as The Paradise Coast. Collier is the largest county in the
state of Florida, by land area, yet more than 80% of the vast
expanse of land is preserved as park and nature preserve land
by federal, state, county, city and private agencies. Beautiful
beach communities surrounded by nature – it's no wonder
the area is referred to as Florida’s Last Paradise.
Night Eye Tours: Join Zoo Director David Tetzlaff for the
sixth year of private guided tours of Naples Zoo after night
falls. You will see the nocturnal activities of rare animals
in the dark including tigers and lions using night vision
scopes. Along the way, participants enjoy personal animal
encounters, behind-the-scenes experiences, and a night cruise
through islands of primates. Click www.napleszoo.org/night
for more info and to purchase tickets online
