Wonderful Time - We had a blast. It wad a 4 hour drive round trip to do this excursion and it was well worth it. Don our boat captain was very knowledgeable. We saw many types of birds, dolphins wave riding, jumping fish, and mush more. We definitely recommend it.

Excellent nature tour of the Everglades - Don was an excellent tour guide and captain. We learned so much about the ecosystem of the Everglades and the bird species. At the end we even saw some dolphins coming next to the boat. Highly recommend this tour.

Respectful and funny tour - Super experienced captain, we received a lot of knowledge about the nature in Everglades. The nature and animals were very well respected. Also small group and nice boat.

A nice tour of the saltwater Everglades - The four members of my family were lucky to have a private tour with a friendly and knowledgeable captain through the saltwater area of the Everglades. We did not see manatees, which are my favorites, but we did see numerous dolphins playing around the boat, bald eagles, and a wide variety of shorebirds. A two hour cruise was one I would recommend, particularly for people who do not have prior experience boating around the mangrove swamps.

This tour has no alligators. - If there is an earlier trip, I recommend going earlier the better. We went at 11 and only saw dolphins and different birds. We did see a bald eagle’s nest with baby and parent. Thee or four osprey nexts and babies and parents, and lots of other bird species!

Scenery and guide Gerry were amazing. Boat seemed dated and was uncovered. Parking is confusing. Doesn’t seem run well. - Capt Gerry was full of knowledge and very entertaining! He took us places where no one else was and showed us an amazing assortment of birds and some dolphins! He taught us about the park, the wildlife, the local area and told us numerous stories about the area and its people. The boat was a bit run down, does not have any covering for shade and was a bit cramped with all the gear in it. I would think some sort of cover in 100 degree heat would be essential. Not too bad since we went in the morning but I couldn’t imagine going out later, longer or later into the summer.
