Overview

A small group 10,000 Islands boat tour. Join our friendly, US Coast Guard Licensed Captains as we cruise through one of the most extensive intact Mangrove Forests in the World! This boat tour focused on three core subjects; Wildlife, Conservation, and family-friendly fun! Bring your whole family and expose the younger generation to the country's most unique eco-system, the Everglades of South West Florida!

Guests can expect close-up encounters with Dolphins, Manatees, and Alligators, providing you with tons of excitement throughout this 3-hour Adventure.
