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.

Two hours of fun in the Everglades - Jerry was a local, knowledgeable and expert guide. He travelled far to find the dolphins & manatees. The weather was cooler than usual. Although we saw no dolphins or manatees, we saw over 2 dozen white pelicans, meant kingfishers, oyster catchers and other tropical birds. A very fun time on the water!

Memorable trip on the water. - Gerry was a fantastic guide with an excellent sense of humour and local knowledge of the glades, seasons and wildlife. We saw lots we wanted to see and were even joined by a small pod of dolphins that played and chased our boat. Highly recommended. Thank you.

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!

afternoon boat trip fun. - Our trip went well after there was a change of meeting place - however we also were able to change the day easily to suit our needs. The captain arrived early which also suited us. It was an open top boat without shade which we knew in advance so could prepare. There were toilets at th meeting point - but these were closed when we came back 2 hours later - so we went to the local hotel nearby. Understood there was not much chance to see a manatee and hoped to see dolphins - which we did just before the end of the trip. our captain was sociable & knew a lot about the flora and fauna from the area. Our girls enjoyed collecting shells from the beach on the island where we spent a fair amount of the time.

Didn’t get to go after all - I had turned wrong and got to the dock 40 Min. Late the women I talked to said it was ok we were the only ones who had signed up for the trip. Then I tried to call again to update my eta and could not get through because of the interruption to cell service that day. The boat left just as we pulled into the parking area. We don’t get to go even though she said it was ok when we talked to her.
