Fabulous time out on the water in Everglades National Park with personable expert guide Dan. Dolphin, osprey, bald eagles, pelicans, cormorants, shore birds, even a magnificent frigate! Walked a sand bar and small island, kayaked in mangrove channels, and motored across wide expanse of the park. Magnificent!

Wanted a little more indepth tour so we decided on this. Our guide, I believe Dan, was very nice and patient. My 8 year old son asked a ton of questions and he never got annoyed but instead was happy to answer all his questions. I loved that it was relaxed and no other people as we explored the everglades. My only suggestion is bringing bug spray, because oh my goodness during the walk the mosquitos got us.

Dan was a great tour guide. He knows the area in and out. He took us to the places we could see the wildlife and he's familiar with the National Park rules and promotes education of the environment and ecosystem. We had the boat ride, walked an island, and took a peaceful kayak tour. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us the ins and outs of the island so we knew where to eat dinner or stop for ice cream after the tour.

All 3 tours were great! Our guide Chris was super knowledgeable. Equipment was in top-notch condition. In order from most interesting to less interesting, I recommend mangrove tunnel kayak, boat/kayak 10,000 island, swamp hike.

Dan was a very informative boat captain and engaged guests answering questions with ease! It was great having a small group as well.

Wonderful experience and the highlight of our trip to Florida- which included the Everglades, Miami, and the keys. This was all the family talked about. We did the mangrove kayak trip and had a great guide and wonderful time. Thank you so much!!

This was an amazing experience for our family! To have an in-depth look at the ecosystem of the mangrove islands was spectacular. Our guides Don McCumber and Ray paid attention to all the details. They both were a wealth of knowledge as we found fish, shells and animals and taught us about the history of the area as well. Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful time with Don (guide) and Ray (boat driver). Don was so informative and managed to find all sorts of shells, and wildlife. Perhaps we could have spent a little more time in the Kayaks. We would definitely go again.
