Description

Conducted on a quiet, comfortable power boat. No loud airboats. This 2-hour dolphin, birding and wildlife tour is a wonderful adventure for the whole family and a great introduction to the area. In captain's style seating on a very comfortable powerboat, you will be safely led through the Everglades 10,000 Islands. Depending on the season, you can expect to encounter manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, herons, egrets, pelicans, rosette spoonbills, as well as, numerous species of fish and shorebirds.

The entire Everglades area, including Everglades National Park, is a wonderful place for birding. With over 300 species of birds throughout the year, it is the only Park that was established for its biological and ecological considerations rather than its geological features.

This tour departs four times daily and is limited to just six guests to keep the experience intimate. Cameras are a must. But, be sure to bring water, hats, sunglasses, and your binoculars.

"Amazing Boating Adventure in the Everglades"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed December 22, 2024
We had so much on the Boat Assisted Kayak Eco Tour. Being able to boat around the Everglades seeing the birds and shells and islands was amazing. And our guide was so incredibly knowledgeable. He even found us a pod of dolphins on the way home, and they played in the boat wake! We would definitely book with them again but without the kayak part: We'd rather spend that time walking the beach with our guide and learning more about the native populations and shellfish and wildlife.

"Nature + Knowledge = WOW!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed December 22, 2024
Our naturalist tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We loved going in a kayak so we could see wildlife without so much disruption. The animal and plant life were incredible. They made the logistics super easy, and paddling was peaceful, not hard at all. This was one of the most remarkable short trips I have done in my life.

"Florida Highlight!!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed May 15, 2024
We took the 8.30 am tour. We were a small group and our guide “Don“ was exactly how you imagine your guide to be for this kind of tour. He was a very experienced, kind and relaxed person who knew literally everything about the flora and fauna there. We always had the chance to take pictures and ask questions. We even got a quick kayaking introduction for those who did that for the first time. He showed us many beautiful flowers ( e.g. water lily), birds (e.g. great blue heron), crocodiles (he even named them) and more!! We came really close (less than 1m) to the crocodiles, but we were never scared of them because of Dons good introduction and tips. Totally worth the money!! Aside from that, we recommend to bring water and insect repellent with you.

"Epic adventure "
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed April 07, 2024
We had a great time. Captain Dan was knowledgeable about the area and took care to see that we all had an enjoyable and safe trip. I was worried about getting in and out of the kayak from the boat, but he had it down to a science so none of us had any issues. We saw dozens of Osprey and Dolphins chased the boat, surfing in our wake. It was an epic trip we will never forget.

Reviewed April 02, 2024
Did a 3 hour Kayak tour of the Mangrove forest. Chris was an amazing tour guide. He was SO knowledgeable about the wildlife -- both flora and fauna. He took pictures of our group that he shared. He really helped us what a unique and amazing eco system. He made us feel at ease and adapted his education to our group. Such an amazing experience.
