Absolutely fantastic! Captain Josh has a deep understanding of the local ecosystem and culture. He was extremely generous with his time and knowledge. We have been on many boat excursions. This was near the top. As others have said, worth every penny!

Had a fantastic time! Highly recommend this very knowledgeable, and considerate guide. We were able to see and play with dolphins (using the boat), find little crabs, see many species of birds and much more. It was especially nice that we had the boat to ourselves for our family of 5.
Only additional feedback would be:
- Make sure you keep a close eye on the directions as we drove past the place using Google Maps and had to get guided back, so I would plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early.
- Also, bathrooms were closed at the shop, so sort your needs out in advance.

We LOVED our tour with Captain Jason. It felt like we got to hop on a boat with a local friend of a friend. He was incredibly knowledgable and helped us to get an up close view of a very beautiful environment. He provided the perfect balance of information about the ecosystem, wildlife viewing, and time for us to soak in the surroundings. We had our 3 young boys in tow, and it was definitely a trip highlight for all of us! We still talk about seeing the dolphins and some of us even got to spot a string ray that jumped out of the water! Such a treat. I can't recommend this experience enough!

Great experience! Capt Jason is exceptional, with a ton of experience and wealth of information about the unique Everglades ecosystem. Actively helped us get good wildlife photos. Picked up plastic trash we found floating on the water. He is passionate about what he does. Highly recommend.
PS: The dock is behind the restaurant and can be hard to locate from the road.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for the review! We are so happy you enjoyed it. Great tip about the dock

Weather was cool and windy, but our guide made this an interesting trip for us. We saw several groups of dolphins up close, walked on a pristine white beach on an outer island, saw white pelicans, herons, egrets, anhingas, and cranes. Very knowledgable guide and we learned so much!
