At 1st sheltered destination, we will deploy very stable kayaks. The stealth of the kayak allows you to get close to the flora and fauna.

On the Water in the Everglades - Fabulous time out on the water in Everglades National Park with personable expert guide Dan. Dolphin, osprey, bald eagles, pelicans, cormorants, shore birds, even a magnificent frigate! Walked a sand bar and small island, kayaked in mangrove channels, and motored across wide expanse of the park. Magnificent!

Relaxing Tour with Great Information - Wanted a little more indepth tour so we decided on this. Our guide, I believe Dan, was very nice and patient. My 8 year old son asked a ton of questions and he never got annoyed but instead was happy to answer all his questions. I loved that it was relaxed and no other people as we explored the everglades. My only suggestion is bringing bug spray, because oh my goodness during the walk the mosquitos got us.

Quiet tour, far away from mass tourism - We were very lucky and there were only two of us. The silence, vastness and almost untouched nature are breathtaking. We were able to soak up and enjoy every moment. Our guide “Dan” is a quiet character who certainly doesn’t say a word too much, but is not averse to conversation. As soon as there was something to see, he always had a story about it. The highlight was the school of dolphins, which we were able to get close to. There were probably 10 animals swimming around the boat. When we increased the speed, the animals swam along in the fairway and jumped out of the water on the side of the boat. Sustainably impressive images. If you're looking for a classic tourist offer with constant guide chatter and entertainment, you've come to the wrong place. Here you really get to see nature, even if it may seem unspectacular at times. It was exactly the right thing for us. Thanks for that!

10,000 Islands Everglades Experience - Dan was a great tour guide. He knows the area in and out. He took us to the places we could see the wildlife and he's familiar with the National Park rules and promotes education of the environment and ecosystem. We had the boat ride, walked an island, and took a peaceful kayak tour. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us the ins and outs of the island so we knew where to eat dinner or stop for ice cream after the tour.

Top notch. - All 3 tours were great! Our guide Chris was super knowledgeable. Equipment was in top-notch condition. In order from most interesting to less interesting, I recommend mangrove tunnel kayak, boat/kayak 10,000 island, swamp hike.

Highly Recommend!! - This was an amazing experience for our family! To have an in-depth look at the ecosystem of the mangrove islands was spectacular. Our guides Don McCumber and Ray paid attention to all the details. They both were a wealth of knowledge as we found fish, shells and animals and taught us about the history of the area as well. Highly recommend!!
