Excellent Tour

An excellent small group tour of the 10,000 Islands. Josh is a grest owner/operator of ths tour. We learned a lot about the marine life, wildlife and history of the Everglades National Park. You will see a lot of dolphins that enjoy jumping in the wake behind the boat.

A Ride Through the Mangroves.

A trip my family will never forget!

A truly unforgettable experience for my family! Breathtaking views, an island to ourselves and dolphins playing in our wake!! My kids were yelling best day ever within minutes. Josh was such a great guide, with incredible knowledge of the area's history and wildlife. The most reasonably priced tour I could find, but the value was immeasurable.

Amazing experience with the dolphins

Josh was amazing!! Absolutely loved this tour! Josh is super knowledgeable. We learned so much about the Everglades. Did not know Dolphins were even in the Everglades. Have never seen them so close and willing to play in the wake of the boat. Highly recommend this tour. Worth every $ to have this experience.

Fabulous tour!

Josh was a wonderful tour guide. We learned so much about the history of the Everglades, the environment, flora, fauna and birds, and Josh was expert at finding dolphins who chased our boat, jumping and twirling. So much fun! I highly recommend this tour - great for all ages!

Best tour of the everglades' wildlife

Josh our guide was extremely knowledgable and very courteous. He went out of his way to show us all the birds and other wildlife. He also knew that we were very interested in seeing the dolphins and he made sure we saw plenty. My grandson and I enjoyed seeing the dolphins playing in the wakes of the boat. We ended up doing a private tour as noone else booked that morning. We felt very privileged to experience this extraordinary ecosystem with a great guide.

Operator response

I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour! It was nice to meet you and Thank you so much for taking the time to give such an excellent review !

Must-do in the Everglades

This was one of the best tours we've ever done. Watching dolphins surf the wake of the boat was the highlight of our entire south Florida vacation for our whole family. Captain Josh was an outstanding guide. He's kind, warm, and seemed to get genuine joy from showing us around and sharing his love of the area and knowledge of the wildlife. We would 100% do this tour again if we return to the Everglades. The ability to support the small business of a lifelong local rather than the Goliaths trying to take over tourism in the area makes it even better.

Operator response

I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour, and Thank you so much for your support and kind words. It was a pleasure showing you around the 10,000 islands.
