donato Posted March 25, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2007 There is a company that will take you. Port Everglades is a very industrial port and you won't go there, but this place looks good for $35.00. http://www.tropical-adventure.com/travelguide/archives/kayaking-in-ft-lauderdale.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzimack Posted March 25, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thanks I will look into it..it appears they are in Frt Lauderdale but perhaps they run trips all about...I also found Adventue kayaking on the Indian River Lagoon for about $500 per person and it included kayak sailing..whatever that is?:eek: We are pretty adventerous and will try anything twice..more to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donato Posted March 25, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2007 The Indian River is at least 100 miles north of Ft. Lauderdale. It starts in Stuart and goes all the way up to Cape Canavarel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharecruises Posted March 26, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi....I see from your ship that you are on a NYC cruise that has Port CANAVERAL as a port, not as a pre-post cruise destination as many of us post about Port Canaveral The "confusion" is also cause Port Everglades is Fort Laude3rdale.. Port Canaveral is Cocoa Beach, Canaveral : Kennedy Space Center I don't know if they have kayak tours right there at the port to do independently, I know they have them but you may need to drive to get there...and not sure that it is long enough/worth it to rent a car a good source of info for Cocoa Beach/Space Coast http://www.space-coast.com/ you can call or email them and they send you nice information then can call the individual guides considering that you will need to be transported to the kayaks, river etc, it may be simpler to take the ship's tour, also to make sure of getting back in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
