Starting and ending at Everglades City, a guide took me to a large number of mangrove covered Islands. Slept on two of them. The objective was to exercise my kayaking experience, meet Birds and dolphins and to sleep in a tent and eat good trail food. My guide was excellent in helping me to go around and even through many islands and to help me weather the sometimes rough sea. He really knew his stuff, and the supporting company did too. I'd highly recommend them.

We had an amazing tour with Dan. We manged to see lots of Dolphins, various birds and endangered species of sawfish. Dan was very knowledgeable of the marine life and environment. Our kayak tour was through beautiful areas with mangroves and the beauty of silence. We also enjoyed a lot just sitting at the boat with the sun in our faces and wind in our hair. Excellent day.

Really enjoyed the trip with its combination of a boat trip, kayaing and beachcombing. The guide (and boat skipper) were superb and able to bring to life the natural history (birds, shells, vegetation, geology etc), and well as the human histrory of the islands.

David_S

It was a 4 hr tour but didn’t seem too long, had a long boat ride , short kayak and a walk to a sandbar. Tour guide knowledgeable of area. Meeting place was a little harder to find, we were there early and the office is not staff, just be on time, not too early.

Don was a knowledgeable and competent guide, who made our trip very enjoyable. I had no idea how seashells developed, which was so interesting.

We had a great time on this group boat and kayak tour in the 10,000 islands area. It is a great way to experience the Everglades mangroves, see bird and sea life, and experience pristine beaches.
