Fun and relaxing experience - Even though the weather was lightly raining, it did not matter for the tour at all. We were under cover and protected from any amount. Agnes, our tour guide and Captain Sid were fantastic. Great sense of humor and very educational. Very enjoyable and short enough for all to enjoy.

Personable, knowledgeable, and a fun experience for the whole family! - Absolutely loved the family owned business tour. The impressive amount of knowledge not only about the river itself including its history through current events, but also about the birds, turtles and alligators that inhabit the area. I loved that they were dedicated to growing their knowledge by their partnerships with local specialists or societies, ensuring accurate and up to date information. We were lucky to see some amazing birds, turtles and a few alligators in the “wild.” We loved our tour guides enthusiasm, and silly/sarcastic banter. We all left feeling the same love for the area and land in all its beauty and history. My kids were so excited, that before the boat even docked they had pulled out their own money to tip! 1000% recommend!

Perfect Tour - This was a very relaxing and educational tour. We saw birds, turtles, and a few gator heads poking out of the water. The Captain and his Tennille were wonderfully entertaining and the gift shop had unique items at a very reasonable price.

Fun on the river! - We had a wonderful time. We went with a group of mixed ages and everyone enjoyed the scenic views and Agnes’ informative and fun stories! I never knew about the intercostal waterways and that was really cool to learn about.
