Big Munson 'Out Island Adventure:
Big Munson Island, over a hundred acres of high hardwood hammock fringed in lush mangroves, is much like it was when the pirates arrived in the 1800’s.The abundant vegetation is the home of the endangered Key Deer and Key Vaca raccoon, both of which wander in and out of campsites at will.

During this week-long survivor-like experience (sorry, no voting anyone off the island) you will be starting your adventure at The Brinton Environmental Center, located at mile marker 23.8. You will travel from the Brinton Center to Big Munson Island with all your gear via ocean kayaks (your food is delivered by powerboat). Because this is a primitive camping experience, don’t expect white sandy beaches and native girls! You will have to wade all of your food, water and equipment ashore to your campsite.

Your week will consist of fishing for grouper, barracuda, mahi mahi and sharks. You will experience some of the finest snorkeling in the Keys on North Americas only living coral reef. There is also ample time to explore the island on foot or mingle in the mangroves on small kayaks. Your Island Mate is with you for your entire adventure. They will help you explore and enjoy the flora and fauna of the island as well as the spectacular underwater wilderness that begins just yards from your tent.

Imagine yourself camped under the canopy of gumbo limbo trees. You can’t do that anywhere else in the United States!
