Excellent tour of 10,000 Islands and the mangroves … Captain Dan knows his stuff , narrative items of the surrounding areas ,and of cultural interest … even managed to get the Dolphins to “ surf” behind the boat . My wife & I were very impressed with the tour , and highly recommend this experience !

Had an easy drive down thru Everglade City. Captain Dan was wonderful! Saw dolphins, manatees, pelicans, egrets and blue herons.

The boating in the Everglades was wonderful. The weather was spectacular, and the tour guide knew a good deal about the ecosystem and history. There is a nice amount of boating, but very little walking. We really walked for only about 200 feet, I would guess.

Our guide Don, was the best! Very knowledgeable about birds, shells, and the mangroves. He added so much to the kayaking adventure. Just be prepared for no-see-ums.

Capt. Charles Wright took me, my wife, and her parents out about a month ago. Great trip. Dude knows what he's talking about. The 5 green dots are for how solicitous Wright was of my elderly in-laws. Made it easy for them. Great way to spend the morning.

This was a tremendous way to see the Everglades National Park. The Captain was terrific at spotting wild life on both land and water. He was very knowledgable, extremely friendly and amusing. We managed to see dolphins, sharks and a manatee together with a host of birds. There was little to fault with this trip. However no water was provided free or to buy this is, in my mind, a serious omission given the length of the trip, three hours, and a temperature well into the 90s. Whether this was a one off omission on this trip or a policy I do not know but it should be rectified immediately as I would suggest that this could be dangerous given the temperature. So be warned take plenty of water and you will have a great time.

Great experience getting out in the mangroves and seeing lots of wildlife. Very knowledgeable guide on marine life, bird life, shellfish, and the history of the area. This is an ocean and river tour with an outboard motor. No airboat and no gators.

We saw so many beautiful birds whilst touring some of the thousands of islands in the Everglades. Also learned some fascinating things about the ecosystem and other animals that inhabit the area. Don was a lovely and hugely knowledgable guide. Amazing trip!

We had such an amazing time on this outing! A special shout out to Capt Dan who expertly guided us including our kids ages 7-9 on this boating/walking adventure in this unique estuary ecosystem. We had the magical experiences of boating alongside dolphins swimming in our wake, learning about the lives of ospreys and bald eagles as we watched the adult birds and their young perched in their nests, and casually walking along an exposed sandbar noting wildlife, indigenous history and artifacts and other fascinating points of interest. Dan was a patient and informative guide tailoring his delivery to the needs of our small group whose ages spanned from the young to older adults. We would definitely recommend this trip and would absolutely go with this outfit again on another excursion. Thanks for the great memories in this most beautiful of wild spaces!

As with most of these excursions, the guide will make or break it. Don, our naturalist guide, was superb. His depth of knowledge, combined with an extraordinary ability to communicate, made this a very worthwhile experience. Highly recommended!
