You have to go, lots of non-commercial out-doorsey things to do!
Kayaking around Ten Thousand Islands .... take your camera because the wildlife is plentiful.
Airboat rides, fishing guides that supply everything, no schlepping all your gear on the plane! :)
And the food! Home made Key lime pie with a graham cracker crust...annoyed I cannot remeber the name of little cafe, but we had to eat there twice b4 we left! Oh and
if ya like seafood, it's fresh caught! Fresh smoked Kingfish. OMG! So good!
A waterfront cafe where u literally almost hang off the side watching fishing boats & the pelicans begging for scraps. If you've never been to the Everglades, plan to spend the day poking around the area for all the tucked in attractions (for lack of a better word). It's like the last frontier and the prices are super reasonable compared to the upper Florida places ;)

Bold colors marry traditional Florida flora and fauna in a whimsical blend of “tropical expressionism” at a new exhibit hosted by the Museum of the Everglades entitled “Tropical Art With An Edge” by Ke Robinson.
The Florida artist, who lives in West Palm Beach, was on hand Saturday, Dec. 6, to talk about her mixed media collection which made its debut in Everglades City. She spoke modestly of her work, explaining her inspiration behind the paintings of native Florida birds and alligators. “I paint what I please,” she stated.
Robinson is a self-taught artist who claims to have “always sketched” and picked up some skills through workshops. Instead of working from photos, she paints in “plein air,” French term meaning painting outdoors. Her work has been described as abstract contemporary folk art painting.
The exhibit will be on display in the Pauline Reeves Gallery until Dec. 31. Located in historic Everglades City, three miles south of US 41 (Tamiami Trail) and SR 29, the museum explores more than 2,000 years of human history in the area. The museum is open Monday-Friday, 9 AM-5 PM. It is located at 105 West Broadway, Everglades City.
