5.00What a perfect day, both Steve and his daughter Leeda are the best, once we found where to park the fun began, the boat was very clean and comfortable, they explained everything to us we saw more Dolphins and Manatees than we ever expected. HIGHLY recommend this tour, check Groupon for discounts.

5.00I am from Canada and this was spectacular. I will definitely go out of my way just to do this eco tour of the 1000 islands next time I go to Florida. There was so much wild life to be seen. I loved the manatees, dolphins and all the birds. Steve and Dakota were hilarious and had so much knowledge and information about the area. Thank you both so much, Christina
Go! You will love it!
