A really enjoyable way to see 10,000 Islands - This was a really enjoyable boat tour both out into the 10,000 Islands and through the mangroves. The boat seats were comfortable and rotated which was great when the views / wildlife were on different sides. Great information provided by our captain and we saw a range of birdlife plus dolphins and, surprisingly, a wild hog!

This was our favorite boat trip yet leaving from Everglade City! - We enjoyed the 6 seater boat and having the tour guide (Bobby) all to ourselves! He was very knowledgeable with the area that he calls “home”! We saw a lot of cool floral/fauna. But our favorite, of course, was the playful dolphins following in our boats wake!

Enjoyable and informative nature experience - A smooth boat ride across Chokoloskee bay and through a covered mangrove creek. Scenic, quiet, and a good way to see local birds nesting, a few dolphins and early settlement. Our guide Bob was great.

Birding adventure - Lyle was knowledgeable about the areas we visited and clearly had grown up boating in the area. He took us to rookeries because of our interest in birds and pointed out birds to see. We throughly enjoyed the ride. It’s a beautiful area.

Best tour in the Everglades!! - This is the Best tour in the Everglades!! Cap. Bobby brought us to all of the best places to see wildlife. We saw lots of dolphins and birds. We also saw a shell island built 1000s of years ago by native Americans. Cap. Bobby's tour is Fantastic!! Highly recommend!

Upgrade of the week. Kayaks to wake riding dolphins. - We originally thought we booked a guided kayak tour but when we arrived there was not one scheduled. We were offered an upgrade to the boat tour and we could not have been happier. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time seeing th dolphins and birds and touring the mangroves.

Excellent Tour and Knowledgeable Guide! - The Mangrove Wilderness Boat Tour was the highlight of our vacation! It was an easy 50 minute drive through the Everglades from Marco Island, where we stayed. March was the perfect time to go....It was still dry season so not too hot and no mosquitos. Our guide was native to the area and was extremely knowledgeable. My teenage sons and I learned alot about the history and wildlife. We saw an amazing array of birds and several dolphins, two of which followed the wake of our boat! The small motor boat was a perfect way to travel - close to water and wild life but elevated enough that I wasn't worried about alligators. I would highly recommend this tour!

Excellent tour experience! - We thoroughly enjoyed the Everglades Mangrove Wilderness Boat Tour! The boat was small and very comfortable. There are no bad seats. The tour was very informative. Out tour operator, John, was personable, affable and offered a wealth of information. He was also very skilled and safety conscious, which we appreciated. We loved viewing the scenery and wildlife of the Everglades National Park. It was a beautiful excursion!
