  This was a really great trip. We saw dolphins, manatee mother and baby, lots of birds, and the captain knew what he was doing and so made it a good trip. There were 4 of us and you sit in nice comfortable folding chairs. My only complaint is that we were in the front two and far enough away from the Captain so that we could not hear everything he said. You get the feeling that he is speaking only to the people close to him. I guess we should have said something, but it was not the whole time, so it was hard to say anything I often sat sideway with one ear towards him thinking he would get the message. My understanding is that this trip can be 6 people. I cannot see how that would work at all. I would recommend this to a friend for sure, but would tell them to sit closest to the captain. I think he needs to wear a microphone. Better too loud than not loud enough.

• Two wonderful experiences!

  INCREDIBLE. Captain Josh went out of his way to have us experience all that we asked for. He went way beyond. Prior to the trip he was very responsive to my inquiries. During he was very attentive to our needs. He has a perfect boat for this type of excursion and showed us a wonderful time. We went for both a morning and afternoon session on two separate days. I would not hesitate for a moment to do a repeat performance.

• Excellent fun and educational experience

  This tour was much better than we expected. Josh is such a knowledgeable tour guide, we learned a lot about the history and ecology of the area, and we saw a lot of amazing and beautiful wildlife! Highly recommend.

• Book your Small Group Motorboat Eco-tour with Josh. You'll thank me!

  Josh was the best tour guide we have ever had - anywhere! It's obvious he grew up in the Everglades and when you combine that with his passion for the area and the outdoors in general, you get the best experience possible. He spent extra time searching for area raptors (successfully) and knew exactly how to get the dolphins to 'play' with us without harassing them. 5+ stars for Josh and our Small Group Motorboat Eco-tour!!

• Saved the day! Great tour!!

  The day was very cold (high 50s) and overcast. My small photo workshop was ready to cancel the trip. I talked them into terrified that it would be a bust. Captain Josh thoughtfully kept the windchill as low as he could,‘a He found birds, dolphins and managed a perfect tour. My group had a great time and would go again tomorrow if I’d let them!

• You will love it!!!!!

  I have been thinking for the past 48 hours the exact words to describe this experience! It was absolutely excellent! Captain Josh is very knowledgeable. He was a native of the area and still lives there. He studied marine biology in college. His guided tour was simply like having a conversation, not some memorized monologue. My friends and I have been talking about this trip ever since we got back on shore. Highly recommend! We will definitely be doing this trip again. I chose this particular adventure because it was a small boat with capacity only for six people. However, this day, we were fortunate enough it was just our party of four. I have included a list of the different birds we saw that day. Captain Josh even got dolphins to play in our wake! You gotta take this tour!!!!!

  Josh is great guide, customer and nature focused. Dolphins are just chasing his boat and birds follow him. We were with family, everyone loved Josh explaining the nature and animals. Trip took even a bit longer than expected but time doesnt matter when you are there with nature. It was easy to book trip online and all information came quickly on mail. I advise trips with Josh. We will do it again one day!

• Gladly again

  Wonderful and relaxing tour away from the tourist crowds. Josh shared his impressive knowledge (not only) of the local flora and fauna. You can feel his dedication and respect in dealing with nature and also in how it changes. And dolphins have accompanied us too 🥰 Highly recommended.

• Outstanding Tour and Guide

  This tour and the guide Josh are outstanding. My husband and I learned so much from him about the eco systems and wildlife in the area. He also told interesting stories about the Native American culture and other history from that area. The highlight was the the dolphins who would come near the boat to ride in the wake. Since the boat has a low profile in the water, you can get very close to the dolphins, and they'll even turn on their sides to make eye contact with you. This tour was definitely the highlight of our vacation and we'll plan on taking it again whenever we come back to this area.
