I understand the Everglades ecology and have dedicated my life to educating and help preserve this fragile ecosystem.

Gators, Birds, Turtles and lots of facts - Captain Bill was amazing. He knew the area so well and taught us about water management as well as facts about the gators and other animals. Recommend this tour 100 times over. A person in our group was very reluctant to go, but by the end of the 2 hours, she was beaming and very happy she went.

Amazing!! - Captain Bill reached out to us to start our tour earlier in order to beat the bad weather. He had great communication the whole time, and our entire family enjoyed experiencing the wildlife in the Everglades with him. We have already recommended him to many of our friends. Thanks for a great time Bill.

An adventure, a singular experience, and a rescue mission… - Just finished our first experience in the Everglades onboard with JJ and my family and I had a blast! Not only were we able to see wildlife, capture wonderful photos and videos, but we also were truly inspired by JJ’s knowledge of the entire ecosphere of the Everglades. A truly magical experience made even more special when JJ spotted a Blue Heron who had injured its wing. We watched as he waded into the grassland and rescued the Blue Heron and secured it so that he could transport it to a wildlife hospital after our trip. Thanks JJ for a wonderful adventure and for your gracious and caring attitude. Highly recommend!

Fabulous Private tour - Booked this last minute on our flying visit to Miami and Capt Bill couldn’t have been more helpful! Our guide was Capt JJ who was so friendly and knowledgable and we just had the most magical time. The Everglades are simply stunning and the birds and the alligators we saw were fantastic. Could recommend this trip more!

Excellent private tour with Capt Bill - Couldn't ask for a better trip this morning with Capt Bill. He was funny, informative and really showed us a great tour. Lots of Alligators, some Rosette Spoonbills and lots of beautiful scenery. Definitely would recommend going on this private tour!

Highly Recommend! - Our family was glad we did this instead of the more commercial boat tour with all the people packed on it. It was delightful having a private tour and we really had a great time. Captain Bill was a very knowledgeable tour guide and we felt totally safe. We saw many gators and beautiful birds and learned some interesting things. We did 1.5 hours which was just perfect. The ear protection kept the noise at a comfortable level. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended - This was a great tour. Captain JJ was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable. Our route was different fr the more commercial tours. We didn’t see another boat in our two hours. Saw lots of alligators and birds. Highly recommended

Excellent adventure! - We booked our trip as a birthday gift for our future son-in-law. Bill, the owner, was very good about keeping us updated on weather conditions as we had a two hour ride to the departure point. He also sent us excellent directions. JJ was our boat captain, and he was great. We saw lots of alligators (including Harold, a twelve-footer) and learned about their habitat, lifespan, etc. There were many birds as well; roseate spoonbills, herons, ibis, etc. He also shared information about the Everglades, showed us some of the private camps, and explained their history. A very interesting and worthwhile trip!

It was “ok” - It was “ok”… some things were out of operator control, the biggest being the dry season drought did not give us much area to see. The owner did refund a portion of the trip as a result which we really appreciated.
The 3 is based on our experience on the tour itself.. we felt like we were “the third tour of the day”.. no effort to slow or stop so we could take pictures of the few alligators we did see. Little enthusiasm… we felt like our captain did not really want to be there. It might have been a 3x a day thing for him but it was a once in a lifetime for us and pretty underwhelming experience.
