Great experience. First time in the everglades and this excursion did not disappoint. Captain was very knowledgeable and gave alot of information on the everglades.
I thought the price was great. We loved our tour guide and we got to see dolphins on our trip. It was very peaceful and a lovely ride.
Ok trip. Guide was great and informative
We strive to be well above average, so we’re sorry to hear the trip didn’t make the grade, but we’re glad you thought the guide was great. If you have a specific thing you think we can improve, we’re all ears!
Fun, leisurely trip through the 10,000 islands on a large pontoon boat. The captain was very knowledgeable as he grew up in the area, and had some great stories. We saw many types of birds and found some dolphins as well. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable (and educational) trip. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed the boat ride. Our tour guide was great. We saw several groups of dolphins and other fish and birds.
Captains Donnie abd Payton were well informed, enthusiastic and gave us a good tour . We spotted several dolphins and a variety of tropical birds.
A great trip around the islands and we managed to see some dolphins amongst other things. Visitors from overseas should note that you have to purchase a national parks pass in addition to the cost of the excursion $135 per party! Okay if there’s a big family of you but expensive for the solo traveller. ($35 for US citizens).
Sorry to hear that a park pass affected your enjoyment. We don’t want to discourage anyone from enjoying the Everglades. Thanks for taking time to send feedback about this. We’ll forward your comments to the National Park Service.
We would have to have seen more wildlife, but those events can't be scheduled. The boat was enjoyable
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Yes, our mission is to protect Everglades wildlife and let it be wild, even if that means it might not appear sometimes.
Excellent guides and fun. Plus informative,even growing up in s fla, I learned some new things about the Everglades and stunned at the changes from when as a teenager fished and hunted the Everglades, and there were a lot of deer. Thanks for a fun trip. The only thing I could say as a complaint, is that it was too short.
That’s our favorite complaint! 😄 Thank you for the review!
Very fun boat ride with a knowledgeable guide. I recommend this tour but bring your own water.
