Manatees - Captain John is a great guide. We saw manatees and he was able to entice the dolphin to play. Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and habitat. So interesting. Highly recommended tour.

Highly recommend! - First, Captain John was great. He was extremely knowledgeable, full of jokes (they never ended), and knew where to find all of the wildlife. Everything went smoothly and we had a great time. We would do it again!

A great way to spend a few hours - I had a day to myself after my friends left Naples and decided to book this outing. The trip was a blast! Captain John was a lot of fun, and so knowledgeable about the ecosystem. The boat ride was super smooth and we saw a lot of wildlife. The island we stopped at was beautiful and it felt worlds away from where we departed.

Thanks Captain Ed - Excellent 3 hour trip. Captain Ed and his colleagues do everything they can to ensure you see as much wildlife as possible. I have seen a couple of reviews suggesting that they disrupt the wildlife. That was not our experience we had a manatee eating weeds from the side of our boat and the dolphins clearly loved playing in the wake of the boat rather than trying to get away from it. Fantastic 3 hours seeing things I will never see again.

One time is not enough. We'll be back! - Captain John is the best! Knowledgeable and funny. He is as protective of nature as he is of guests on his boat. The wildlife sights were amazing.

Fun in the sun - Captain John was knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot about the wildlife in the area. We saw alligators, a salt water crocodile, dolphins, manatees ( my favorite ) multiple different kinds of birds, a raccoon and a manta ray. The beach we stopped at was beautiful with a ton of sea shells for you to collect and keep. Highly recommend this tour. If we get a chance to return to southwest Florida we would definitely do this tour again.

Thank you Captain John! - Welp, we didn’t get to see a manatee but we had a nice tour and ride with Captain John. He was jolly and informative. And we got to see alligators and dolphins and collect seashells at one of the 10,000 islands. Captain John is laid back and accommodating. And the outfit is well organized. Thank you Captain John and co!

Great, more information would be helpful - The captain was great, the website needs to be more descriptive, how long takes to to get to the island, what's permissible to bring on boat. Also, lengthen the trip to provide more time at the beach.

Lame Boat Tour - While it was a pleasant little boat tour, it certainly wasn't the experience it was hyped up to be in the description or anything like what is in the photographs. The tour was over $300.00 Canadian for myself and my spouse which was way over priced in my opinion. Don't waste your money.

No good - They took me $551 But they don’t let me go. I am so upset They give me a Wrong address. And I called him again. I go over there. 30 minute late. They don’t let me go no refund. And I tell them can I go tomorrow or Monday they say no
