The best tour!! - The tour was amazing! Me and my family really enjoyed it. Captain Josh is great! He was patiently introduced everything during the tour. We saw a lot of birds include spoonbill, blue heron and others. The best parts were dolphins and shells picking. The dolphins seems like the neighborhood in this area. One of them smiled to us! Captain Josh is good at making waves which the cute dolphins all enjoy to chasing around the boat. Shell picking really like a escape from the noise world. We felt the gentle breeze, the warm sea water, fabulous shells(which Josh introduced each species to us), the white sand. We have had several trips in Florida before, but this one is the best tour we have ever. We deeply explore and learn about this beautiful place this time. Thank you so much Captain Josh!

Captain Josh’s tour is brilliant and he’s a legend! - We had a brilliant trip with Captain Josh. Communication via WhatsApp pre tour was super easy, we met at Everglades City at 09:30 and by 10 am we were on the water and had a pod of dolphins doing acrobatics behind our boat!
We proceeded through the 10k islands, spotting all sorts of wildlife - more dolphins, loads of bird species, a sting ray. Unfortunately we missed the elusive loggerhead turtle!
We also stopped off on an island for a small wander around and my wife and kids picked up loads of amazing shells, including some the size of my arm (god knows how well transport them home!)
Captain Josh was incredibly informative throughout. He’s been raised on the water there and knows tons of interesting facts and also has a good tail or two!
Thanks very much Josh 👌👏🙌

Fantastic Tour - The tour was so amazing. I did a lot of research before choosing Native Tours for our Everglades tour. I am so glad I booked with them. Captain Josh was amazing! He is so knowledgeable about the area and the environment. We saw dolphins, turtles, a manatee and tons of birds. We got to stop along the way on a beach and explore. He taught our daughter about the various shells and wildlife there. If you book a tour with Josh you will not be disappointed. I hope we are able to visit again, we would absolutely book another tour.

Perfect trip - Josh took us on an amazing trip on h''is boat. We saw lots of wildlife and collected amazing shells. Josh is a very nice guy and it was fun to talk to him and learn so many things about the Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands and it's Wildlife. His boat was very comfortable with nice chairs and shade. Not only did we see dolphins, they even swam up to the boat an had fun jumping in the wake.
Thank you so much again, Josh, for this perfect day 🐬

Amazing Eco Tour - Captain Josh was phenomenal! He was so knowledgeable of the area and truly cares about the environment. The tour is fun and educational. You can tell he tailors the tour to the group. He was engaging to our children too. We were able to see many dolphins, sea turtles, and alligator, and even a sawfish!
I would highly recommend booking this trip. This provided us life long memories.

Must do event!! - This was our third trip with Capt. Josh & each trip was an amazing experience that we all agreed was the highlight of our trips! My family still talks about the breadth of Josh's knowledge and the thrill of the up close dolphin intetactions. Capt. Josh has years of experience and ensures that every guest, regardless of age, is fully safe, comfortable, and learning how to see and appreciate the beautiful ecosystem and it's inhabitants. He paints a picture of the connectiveness of the land, water, creatures, and their complex relationships in a way that other tours do not, and offers a far superior experience over other tours. His prices are very reasonable & worth every penny. Definitely book this trip...you willnot regret it!

Incredible! Can't wait to return! - We had high expectations going in and they were all exceeded! Captain Josh provided so much interesting information that only one born and raised in Florida can provide. He knew all the spots to scope out birds and wildlife. The dolphins seemed to recognize his boat and would follow us close enough that we would have eye contact with them before they splashed us. Captain Josh's enthusiasm and respect for his environment and job is evident and we will definitely be returning on our next visit!

Beautiful tour into nature exploring lots of wildlife - Josh is the perfect choice if you want to really experience nature and wildlife calmly and in a small group. He’s a passionate and very entertaining host. That knows a lot about his home town ruf and its inhabitants and will take you to very nice spots.
