Relaxing and educational - Don was our captain. He was friendly and provided a lot of info on the local flora and fauna of the area as well as the Colusa Indians and early settlers. It was a chilly day and unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins or manatees but learned a lot and enjoyed our trip. One suggestion, add a cushion to the bench seat. There are 4 cushioned captain chairs and one hard bench seat for two. Thanks Don!

Worth IT - We were having trouble finding an outing that was enjoyable for my entire family, ranging in age from 16 to 88. This did the trick. Everyone loved it. The price was reasonable and our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The length of the tour was perfect for my older parents. And it was absolutely beautiful and peaceful being on the water. Plus we saw lots of dophins.

Great Tour with Captain Don - We took this tour with Captain Don this afternoon. It was me and my girlfriend and we are both 71. Turned out it was just the 2 of us and the experience was amazing. First, the boat is small but there were very comfortable cushioned seats. We stayed dry the entire time. Captain Don was a great guide. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and made short stops along he way to educate us about the birds we saw giving us great details about each one. We mentioned that we went on a shelling tour where our guide, although nice, knew nothing about shells. So Don brought out a special box of shells and told us in detail about each shell and how they were formed. I would highly recommend this tour and hope you get Captain Don as your guide.

Great tour of the Everglades coastal islands - Excellent 2 hr tour. I think we saw every bird in the area. We even encountered a manatee in one inlet. Guide was a total pro.
