Fun time! - We had a great time and saw several manatees. The Captain was very personable and knowledgeable and it was great learning new things about the area. The beach was full of shells and our teens enjoyed taking some home. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend - a little more expensive than competitors, but you get the almost private tour that you pay for - Had a fantastic 3-hour trip that checked all the boxes... manatees, alligators, dolphins, and all the birds. Our captain was responsive to all of our requests and questions. It felt like we were having a VIP tour of the area, complete with the time spent on White Horse Key. I can't recommend this tour enough... you can save a few dollars by booking a tour with 50+ people on a boat (we saw them in the harbor), or you can spend a little more and have about a 6-person tour on one of these boats that feels almost private. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful trip! - We had a beautiful day and saw all of the wildlife we expected and more. Captain Ed answered all of our questions and shared his own knowledge about the different wildlife. It was a wonderful experience!

An unforgettable tour - We did the sunset tour with Captain John. During this tour we saw a variety of wildlife. Shortly before sunset, we were able to search for shells and snails on an island. In the end we experienced a breathtaking sunset on the open sea. We would like to recommend this unforgettable tour to everyone. Thank you John.

highly recommend the 3-hour tour - The 3-hour tour was a great experience for us. Captain Ed was superb: very knowledgeable and personable. Some manatee sightings to start the event, then on to a stop at one of the islands, then seeing a couple of dolphins on the return trip, plus one gator gave us a good photo op right by where we docked. Also saw several aviary species there and back, including osprey nests. Highly recommend

Manatee Dolphin and 10000 islands tour by boat - Captain Ed was very informative and took alot of care to try and find manatees, dolphins and birds for us to see on our 3 hour trip up the river and to the 10,000 islands. It was nature of course so no gaurantees of sightings. We saw the snout of one manatee and another's humped back on the waters surface briefly, manatee footprints again on the surface of the river, an alligator and a fish hunting dolphin going speedily along the red mangrove river shoreline trying to catch its prey which was wonderful and we enjoyed speeding towards a pristine white oyster shell and mangrove island paradise full of washed up corals and shells. Captain Ed was very knowledgeable, a great captain and informant for our tour. We learnt a lot about the ecology and life within the river system and gulf islands. We recommend this experience and using Captain Ed.

Waste of money! - It should have been a home run! Beautiful day on the water . The people running it just don’t care. They had an issue with the boat and were just jerks. Skip this company go elsewhere!!!!

Disappointed - Disappointing trip for us given the cost of this excursion! We saw nothing atall! and the captain was not engaging or enthusiastic. The island we stopped at was not suitable for swimming either.
Will not be returning and would not recommend unfortunately
