Excellent tour of the South Florida wildlife - We took the Manatee, Dolphin and 10,000 Islands Beach Eco-Tour with Captain Becky and had a fabulous time. The tours max at 6 people so there is plenty of room to see everything and enjoy the ride. Captain Becky has the eyes of an eagle and pointed out all the bird species we passed and was able to spot the elusive Manatee. We could not find the dolphins at first but Captain Becky was determined and we finally found them and watched as they played in our wake. We then went on the hunt for an alligator and once again Captain Becky came through for us. The other group on our boat was from overseas and had never experienced the South Florida wildlife and were beyond thrilled we were able to locate these amazing creatures. Captain Becky came through in a big way.
Highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful trip! - We had a great time on this tour. Captain Wes was great at spotting so many different wildlife. He knew my sister liked birds and made an effort to point them all out. We had a fabulous experience with dolphins playing in the boat waves and we saw numerous manatees. The boat ride out through the Everglades was so nice as well. We greatly enjoyed this experience.

Boat trip for dolphin watching - Our captain very knowledgeable and kind. We saw the moans and a family of dolphins.
The waters of the canals are very murky, so don't expect anything particularly extraordinary. This trip deserves to understand the Florida ecosystem.

Nice day! - Captain Patrick was great! Nice guy and knowledgeable about the area. If you're looking for some shells, I recommend bringing a snorkel, as most of the ones on the beach are broken up, but there were some nice ones in the water!

A Great Time Had By All! - This boat tour was amazing. Captain Wes was fun and knowledgeable. He has an eagle eye for spotting the marine life! My husband, our 2 adult daughters, and I had a great time. We did the afternoon tour (our 20-year-olds were not waking up for the morning tour!), so we knew it might be less likely to see a lot of the wildlife, but we saw plenty. We spotted a ton of manatees, several sharks, loggerhead turtles, blue herons, and two enormous rays dancing under the water. The highlight of our trip was when Captain Wes spotted 2 pods of dolphins and was able to get them to play in the wake of our boat, after they swam right up to the side of our boat!
We found lots of interesting shells on the little island that we visited for about 45 minutes. I can't say enough about Captain Wes and this boat tour. A+++

Must Do! - Everything went fabulous n our Captain was great. He had a lot of knowledge and we enjoyed talking with him during our Tour. We saw a couple Manatee but I wished we saw more than that during our trip.

Boring - Perfectly sedate however frustrating as the skipper needed his sat nav and it felt like a trip to an island and then back again rather than an eco nature tour. The boat was hoping to see dolphins and happy to spend less time on the very hot island but the skipper didn’t use any initiative. Shame rally as could have been better.

Absolutely not eco ! - Nothing eco about this tour. Guide was bloody useless and spent his time trying to impress another couple from Texas by going fast in the boat and narrowly missing some poor people out fishing.
Chased dolphin relentless to try and get them to perform like a circus act for 40mins. Idiot.
Definitely not for nature lovers, maybe people who have never seen a manatee or care about nature!
