The Out Island Adventure is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to live on a rugged barrier island. You begin your adventure by paddling roughly 6 miles out to Big Munson, an island only inhabited by boy scouts. During your stay you have the opportunity to fish for your dinner, fish for sharks, snorkel, kayak through a mangrove maze, explore the island, and work on your tan. Please note that activities are dictated by weather, tides and the ability of the crew. Your activity plan can vary, sometimes widely, due to these factors.
The Out Island Adventure combines camping on a remote 100+ acre island, snorkeling on pristine coral reefs, trolling for sport-fish, kayaking through mangroves, and exploring the flora and fauna of Big Munson Island. This is a seven day event. The total cost will be approximately $1500+ which includes the cost of Seabase, the flight to Ft. Lauderdale, and transportation from the airport to Summerland Key.
