Great boat tour - Great experience. Our tour guide was very informative and looked for wildlife for us too see. He found dolphins and they swam alongside the boat. It was so much fun.

Amazing to see the thousand islands and be followed by dolphins - This was such a fantastic experience! We were only six people on the boat (plus the captain), so there were tons of opportunities to ask questions etc. The captain was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour super fun. We ended up seeing multiple dolphins that followed our boat for a while, jumping again and again, which was just incredible to see. Also lots of birds and just overall a beautiful landscape. It was a great afternoon on the water and I'll remember seeing the dolphins forever!

Get up close and personable in the Mangrove in the Eveglades - Very educational information about the mangroves. Toured through beautiful mangrove canals, up close and personal. Great guide who knew where he was going and what we should see!! Very knowledgeable and answered all questions with great knowledge of all we saw! Enjoyed a great dolphin show as the dolphins followed the boat and put in a show for us for an unusually long time. It was all amazing!!

Great recommendation! - A wonderful experience! The boat was comfortable and pleasantly small, only for 6 guests. With it we sprint through the Everglades, which was fun! Because of the pace, a scarf was helpful. We then crept through the mangrove forests so slowly that you could see small animals. Captain Lee was a great guide and really went out of his way to make us a great event! We saw many birds (including Ospreys and a Bald eagle), flying fish and several dolphins. He even got them to swim after our boat. Highly recommended!

Best Day!!! - Absolutely one of the best days spent after moving to the area. Captain Lyle was very knowledgeable and had interesting information and stories of the area. Amazing experience we will do again when family and friends come to visit us. Just a short drive from Marco Island. The dolphins swimming with the boat and jumping and playing was the highlight. The mangroves and other birds and wildlife were also spectacular to see. Private island stop and open waters. This trip had it all. Very highly recommend!! My husband has a bad back and was very comfortable on the ride.

Fun experience - Lyle and Nicole made sure to make this boat tour a wonderful experience. The route we took was carefully selected: we saw a misting bird of prey, in a bay, we went around and between some of the many islands, we drove through a mangrove tunnel, saw turtles, talked about the early indigenous people who settled in the Everglades and we observed dolphins, playing in the wake of our boat.
We had a great time and plan to return to do another tour with Lyle again next year.
The tour was 1 hr 45 min and exactly as described

Exceptional experience - Exceptional experience. Lyle was a wonderful, knowledgeable and experienced guide. We went with two small children and everyone enjoyed the tour a lot! It was very informative and our guide even made it fun for the little ones! We've seen dolphins, rays, many different birds. The mangroves are stunning. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. Very well organized tour and super clean, comfy boat (6 passengers max). We booked the tour in advance, no wait time at all. The ticket also allows you access to the observation tower. All in all we spend about 3h there. Cute little souvenir shop is worth checking out! Thank you so much
