Dolphins and Manatees…oh my!

5.00Bobbywas our tour guide and we wanted a peaceful time on the boat. As soon as we arrived to the mangroves, there were dolphins waiting to greet us. Six dolphins joined the boat and surfed behind us. Amazing experience! That completely made the tour. We found several manatees and starfish and had the best day on the boat tour.
We had an amazing time...

5.00We had an amazing time with Capt Russ on this tour. He was so knowledgeable about the ecosystem of the area and attentive to where the manatees, dolphins and other wildlife were. We loved this experience.
Great trip on the water with the added bonus of seeing cool animals.

3.00Weather and boat ride were beautiful. Tour was ok not very informative. Thought we’d learn more about nature or eco system in the area.

5.00Loved this private tour with Captain Jim! It turned out only our family was on the tour which made the trip special. Captain Jim showed up the mangroves and explained the ecosystem of the area. We also was manatees and turtles! Fun tour and highly recommend it.
Unforgettable mangrove adventure

5.00We had an absolutely amazing kayak tour through the Florida keys mangroves! The scenery was breathtaking—quiet tunnels of greenery, calm water, and wildlife all around us. Our guide, Jade, truly made the experience extra special. He was incredibly helpful, super knowledgeable about the area, and made everyone feel comfortable, even if it was their first time kayaking. An absolute must. We would do it again in a heartbeat!
Fun and interesting boat tour

5.00This morning boat ride was a good introduction to the Florida keys eco system. While we didn’t see any manatees (apparently they sleep in the mornings), it was an enjoyable excursion and Jim was a knowledgeable and interesting guide.
Great time!

5.00Bobby was so knowledgeable about local wildlife. We saw dolphins, a gator, starfish, manatee, lots of fish, birds and iguana. He said it was rare to see all of them in one go, so we felt lucky! Even though it was a cloudy we had an awesome evening.
