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.

Great tour and most beautiful dolphin encounter! - We - 2 adults and a 7 year old - enjoyed the tour with Josh very much and can recommend him as captain and the tour in general with a clear conscience. He was not only able to tell us a lot of new things about nature, the Eco System and the animals - but also to show the dolphins in the most beautiful way. He knows their behaviour so well that he always knows what “games” they are up for... They followed us for a very long time in the boat waves, showed their best jumping skills and even let us watch their lovemaking. All in all a perfect excursion that we would like to repeat one day! All the best for you - Josh!

Unforgettable Experience - This was an amazing experience! Josh was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and history of the area. We got to learn so many fun facts while driving around. Seeing the dolphins and playing with them was so lovely. He has a true respect for what Mother Nature provides this area. I’d happily plan another vacation just to do this tour again.

Best boat excursion ever. - The entire trip was just fabulous. Our skipper was knowledgeable and knew how to get the dolphins to come and play. We have never had such an experience with dolphins so close up before and so many of them.
