Lovely morning tour - We took our teenage granddaughter on the 9 am tour with Captain Darrell and we’re glad we went early! We saw a couple of gators and various types of birds. Captain D is very knowledgeable about the area and birds. As a former Disney employee he is very chatty and gives lots of information about local commerce and history as well as nature. We all 3 enjoyed the trip and we’re happy we had good weather!

Boat tour - Great tour guide, just very hot. There needs to be a canopy on both sides of the boat not just one to help against the Fl sun and heat.
