Do not hesitate! Book this! So much fun! Andy was a fantastic guide! The boats are easy to drive. The scenery is spectacular. You will get splashed but not drenched and you’ll dry quickly. We saw dolphins, a shark and a tarpon along with birds. We would definitely do this again!

Love the part where we shell at an island. Andrew did a great job finding dolphins. My husband drove right by a sea turtle and had to swerve from hitting him, but exciting.

We had such a great time taking the Backwater adventure tour. It’s truly a unique experience. The boats are super fun and give the opportunity to see the 10,000 in a different way. Our tour guide Devon was great, very friendly and navigated us well in the water. I highly recommend this tour. Just note that you will get wet so dress accordingly!

Andrew was amazing. We had a massive “Karen” in our group who legit treated him and everyone in our group like crap! He handled it like a champ. Spent extra time showing up A dolphin family at the end.

So much fun It felt like flying over the water. Take a coup if you don’t want to get too much sun it was chilly in the morning.

We really enjoyed this trip. It’s hard to impress 13year Olds and this managed to exceed expectations! We saw dolphins and a salt water crocodile
