Don McCumber is the best! - Our guide, Don McCumber was very friendly, knowledgable, and fun! He personalized our trip to show us the things about the Everglades we were most interested in and went out of his way to make sure we encountered dolphins - #1 on our wishlist. He had so much information to share and was so welcoming. Two hours wasn't enough and went by in a flash! We could have spent an entire day with Don and would still want to come back for more!

Awesome tour! - Small boat tour. Guide was spectacular! We boated around Ten Thousand Islands and walked on a mangrove island at low tide looking at different live crustaceans. Saw birds, dolphins and many different sea shells

A great way to experience and learn about the Everglades - We loved our two hour boat tour with Don McCumber. He was informative and personable, we saw dolphins and so many birds. The route was varied, through open water and narrow passageways. We highly recommended it. I’d do it again if I’m in the area.

Sunrises, Birds and Raccoons, Oh My! - We had a great day birding with Don and learning about the Everglades. The highlight of our trip was seeing the raccoons on the islands. The morning sunrise was inspirational for our photo trek. Definitely an experience we will not forget.

Wonderful tour - We took a 3.5 hours afternoon boat tour and highly recommend it! Our captain Dan is very knowledgable and personable. we learned so much on the tour. I'm an amateur photographer and had a blast seeing pelicans, ibises, herons, and even a magnificent frigatebird! I'll have to come back.

Enjoyable tour with a negative. - It was wonderful to get out on the water and it was a beautiful sunny day in March. We saw nesting pelicans, cormorants, and osprey. Also herons and a Snowy Egret. The dolphins were the highlight. Our guide increased the speed of the boat to, as he said, give the dolphins a ride. Some took the opportunity which allowed us to see them close up. We also saw Calusa ruins which meant standing still. I was bitten a lot by no seeums. Not a big problem for most but I’m allergic and have had nasty, long term reactions in the past. Our knowledgable guide gave a lot of detail during this part of the tour, too much. He was strangely bossy about it and we were stuck there for too long. That was a negative but the rest of the tour was enjoyable.
