Active Pursuits: Kayaking Frommer

The laid-back Urban Trails Kayak Company rents boats at 10800 Collins Ave. (tel. 305/947-1302). It offers scenic routes through rivers with mangroves and islands as your destination. Most of the kayaks are sit-on-tops, and most are plastic, although there are some fiberglass models available. Rates are $8 an hour, $20 for up to 4 hours, and $25 for over 4 hours. Tandems are $12 an hour, $30 for up to 4 hours, and $35 for the day. Open daily from 9am to 5pm.

The outfitters here give interested explorers a map to take with them and quick instructions on how to work the paddles and boats. If you have at least four people, you can get a guided half-day tour for $35 per person. This is a fun way to experience some of Miami's unspoiled wildlife, and it's good exercise, too.
