Very pleasant and informative - Captain Dave was really a great host on this river cruise. He made it a point to interact with each of the passengers on a personal level and made us feel welcome immediately. He has a wealth of knowledge about the area, the river, and the wildlife we encountered. We saw a variety of birds, alligators, and manatees. The trip was thoroughly relaxing and informative. Next time we are in this area, we will probably book another tour.

Captain Dave gave a delightful lagoon experience! - What a beautiful way to start the day! Captain Dave made it easy to find him, and his pontoon boat comfortable seated us as we explored. Lots of Dolphins out with babies, beautiful birds, a stop at one of the tiny seashell covered “spoils” islands followed by a back canals exploration where we saw manatees and an alligator! I happily could have spent the whole day out! Captain Dave not only knows the area and its flora and fauna well, but clearly loves it dearly. I’ll definitely go out with him again when I get to go back down there.

Captain Dave is the best - Excellent experience from booking through disembarking. Captain Dave is a caring host and knowledgeable guide. We saw lots of dolphins and beautiful birds as well as an adult and young alligator. A couple of folks even saw stingray while walking on the sandbar of the island we had a chance to gather shells from. Definitely choose this if you're looking for a great way to experience nature in a fun and relaxing way

Dolphins, manatee, alligators, oh my! - We had a wonderful time with Captain Dave. He is very knowledgable about the wildlife. He is willing to take time to search out a particular bird or animal that you want to see. We saw manatee, dolphins, alligator, turtles, and lots of birds. We enjoyed landing on the little island, and Captain Dave helped us find lovely shells. It was two hours well spent, and I would highly recommend.

Great Experience - As in most of the other reviews we had a good time and did see manatee, alligator, turtles and dolphins. The trip is well worth the money. What impressed me most though was a mix up. We, through no fault of Capt. Dave, missed the trip we were booked for and missed the 24 hour cut off for a refund. Dave very graciously, and with no hesitation, offered us a ride for the next day instead. One person who still knows the meaning of hospitality.

Leisure tour during a cool spell in FL - We had a nice tour with Captain Dave. The water was a bit rough in the bay but we did see a couple of dolphins and a manatee. Once we were back in calmer waters we saw a several gators and turtles. Captain Dave was greatest spotting them in their hiding spots. We really enjoyed our trip.
