Description

Conducted on a quiet, comfortable power boat. No loud airboats. This 2-hour dolphin, birding and wildlife tour is a wonderful adventure for the whole family and a great introduction to the area. In captain's style seating on a very comfortable powerboat, you will be safely led through the Everglades 10,000 Islands. Depending on the season, you can expect to encounter manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, herons, egrets, pelicans, rosette spoonbills, as well as, numerous species of fish and shorebirds.

The entire Everglades area, including Everglades National Park, is a wonderful place for birding. With over 300 species of birds throughout the year, it is the only Park that was established for its biological and ecological considerations rather than its geological features.

This tour departs four times daily and is limited to just six guests to keep the experience intimate. Cameras are a must. But, be sure to bring water, hats, sunglasses, and your binoculars.

Reviewed May 15, 2024
We took the 8.30 am tour. We were a small group and our guide “Don“ was exactly how you imagine your guide to be for this kind of tour. He was a very experienced, kind and relaxed person who knew literally everything about the flora and fauna there. We always had the chance to take pictures and ask questions. We even got a quick kayaking introduction for those who did that for the first time. He showed us many beautiful flowers ( e.g. water lily), birds (e.g. great blue heron), crocodiles (he even named them) and more!! We came really close (less than 1m) to the crocodiles, but we were never scared of them because of Dons good introduction and tips. Totally worth the money!! Aside from that, we recommend to bring water and insect repellent with you.
