Naples Sustainable Tours

We had a fantastic private tour with our four children! From the very beginning it felt personal rather than touristy. Our guide took plenty of time, adapted the tour to our family, and shared an impressive amount of knowledge about the local wildlife and nature.We were lucky enough to see dolphins during the tour, along with lots of other amazing wildlife. Nothing felt rushed, and the whole experience was relaxed, enjoyable, and very informative.If you’re looking for an authentic and personal experience instead of a standard tourist tour, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended for families with children!

An amazing trip with lots to see and new things to learn. Josh is a local, growing up in the Everglades. We enjoyed how he explained everything and answered all our questions. We all had a blast. We saw lots of bottlenose dolphins and birds. Went on an🏝️ and on top - the kids got to experience to be captain of the boat. Will recommend this small group trip to everyone., family and friend sand will definitely come back for another trip. Thank you so much Josh to share your knowledge.

An excellent small group tour of the 10,000 Islands. Josh is a grest owner/operator of ths tour. We learned a lot about the marine life, wildlife and history of the Everglades National Park. You will see a lot of dolphins that enjoy jumping in the wake behind the boat.

Josh is great. He’s from the area and is very good at his job! His boat chairs are very comfortable. I enjoyed learning about the history of the Ten Thousand islands.

A truly unforgettable experience for my family! Breathtaking views, an island to ourselves and dolphins playing in our wake!! My kids were yelling best day ever within minutes. Josh was such a great guide, with incredible knowledge of the area's history and wildlife. The most reasonably priced tour I could find, but the value was immeasurable.

Josh was amazing!! Absolutely loved this tour! Josh is super knowledgeable. We learned so much about the Everglades. Did not know Dolphins were even in the Everglades. Have never seen them so close and willing to play in the wake of the boat. Highly recommend this tour. Worth every $ to have this experience.

Highly recommend this tour, best we’ve ever been on! Josh is super knowledgeable and friendly and his love of his home environment comes through during the whole tour. Playing with the dolphins will stay with us forever! Thanks Josh!

Great tour, Josh was super knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. The dolphins playing were pretty special !!

Josh was a wonderful tour guide. We learned so much about the history of the Everglades, the environment, flora, fauna and birds, and Josh was expert at finding dolphins who chased our boat, jumping and twirling. So much fun! I highly recommend this tour - great for all ages!

Wonderful tour! Seeing dolphins so close to the boat (and know they were safe and having fun) was exciting! Thank you, Josh!

Josh our guide was extremely knowledgable and very courteous. He went out of his way to show us all the birds and other wildlife. He also knew that we were very interested in seeing the dolphins and he made sure we saw plenty. My grandson and I enjoyed seeing the dolphins playing in the wakes of the boat. We ended up doing a private tour as noone else booked that morning. We felt very privileged to experience this extraordinary ecosystem with a great guide.

This was one of the best tours we've ever done. Watching dolphins surf the wake of the boat was the highlight of our entire south Florida vacation for our whole family. Captain Josh was an outstanding guide. He's kind, warm, and seemed to get genuine joy from showing us around and sharing his love of the area and knowledge of the wildlife. We would 100% do this tour again if we return to the Everglades. The ability to support the small business of a lifelong local rather than the Goliaths trying to take over tourism in the area makes it even better.

Had an amazing time on our eco tour. Having the dolphins jumping in our wake was a special, joyful experience!

We had a great time. Josh was really nice and very knowledgeable and made things interesting. Our favorite part was having dolphins play on the boat wake, but the whole morning was thoroughly enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour.

We were looking for a more intimate experience in the everglades than the usual tourist activities and that is what we got! Captain Josh is a longtime resident of the thousand islands with college level and local ecological expertise and you can tell he loves this place. We saw a variety of birds , including herons, osprey, eagles, egrets, as well as loggerhead turtles and many playful dolphins . I think i also saw a ray. We learned about this place as Calusa homeland and boated around a shell mound island. There were four passengers and I felt very safe with this capable captain and very small boat! There is a sun shade cover on the boat. I forgot to bring binoculars, which would have been really helpful!

Our trip with Josh was everything we hoped for - by every measure. One of our group is a PhD environmentalist who has focused his career on native grasses and plants. He was impressed by the depth of Josh's knowledge and understanding of the forces of nature in the Everglades. Since Josh grew up in the area, he was able to provide us with a unique lived experience description of the changes in the area (and the entire Florida eco system ) over time. His passion and knowledge make learning such an immersive experience. We will definitely take other trips with him as there is so much to learn and experience. It is rare to find a guide who is able to speak about the evolution of the area with such detail on a first person basis.
