highly recommend the 3-hour tour - The 3-hour tour was a great experience for us. Captain Ed was superb: very knowledgeable and personable. Some manatee sightings to start the event, then on to a stop at one of the islands, then seeing a couple of dolphins on the return trip, plus one gator gave us a good photo op right by where we docked. Also saw several aviary species there and back, including osprey nests. Highly recommend

Manatees Galore! - We actually took a tour in September but didn’t see any manatees. However, as the company claims, if don’t see them you can come back for another trip. So we did and we saw a pod of approximately 10 or so manatee's and some small gator. The ride was fun and the weather was perfect and the captain was knowledgeable and was entertaining. Would definitely recommend this sightseeing tour.

Great ride around the canal - Views were amazing out at Whitehorse key! Great Capt. Ed. Dolphins were amazing jumping the wake in our boat! We were hoping for better wildlife. We knew it was a bad time of year for manatee, but we were still hopeful. We did see a murky blob and snout come up once. We also saw several alligators and a few dolphins and birds. Stopping near Whitehorse key in the water was breathtaking and then pulling onto the key for a break and to go shelling was nice. Definitely go for the 3 hour tour, we'll worth the experience, but temper expectations about manatees. Also very hard to find with no signs and the marina shop guy was very grumpy even when we purchased items from his store.

Beyond Great! - It was more awesome than we even imagined! Wes was the best captain.. and knew all the spots to see SO many manatee. We had playful dolphins swimming in our wake, even caught a glimpse of a gator. All that awesome-ness aside, Wes is good guy… so positive, energetic, and genuinely friendly. We truly recommend this!

Manatees - Captain John is a great guide. We saw manatees and he was able to entice the dolphin to play. Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and habitat. So interesting. Highly recommended tour.

Highly recommend! - First, Captain John was great. He was extremely knowledgeable, full of jokes (they never ended), and knew where to find all of the wildlife. Everything went smoothly and we had a great time. We would do it again!

A great way to spend a few hours - I had a day to myself after my friends left Naples and decided to book this outing. The trip was a blast! Captain John was a lot of fun, and so knowledgeable about the ecosystem. The boat ride was super smooth and we saw a lot of wildlife. The island we stopped at was beautiful and it felt worlds away from where we departed.

Manatee Dolphin and 10000 islands tour by boat - Captain Ed was very informative and took alot of care to try and find manatees, dolphins and birds for us to see on our 3 hour trip up the river and to the 10,000 islands. It was nature of course so no gaurantees of sightings. We saw the snout of one manatee and another's humped back on the waters surface briefly, manatee footprints again on the surface of the river, an alligator and a fish hunting dolphin going speedily along the red mangrove river shoreline trying to catch its prey which was wonderful and we enjoyed speeding towards a pristine white oyster shell and mangrove island paradise full of washed up corals and shells. Captain Ed was very knowledgeable, a great captain and informant for our tour. We learnt a lot about the ecology and life within the river system and gulf islands. We recommend this experience and using Captain Ed.

Disappointed - Disappointing trip for us given the cost of this excursion! We saw nothing atall! and the captain was not engaging or enthusiastic. The island we stopped at was not suitable for swimming either.
Will not be returning and would not recommend unfortunately
