  Very interesting, well guided tour. We recommend it for anyone interested in learning about the Everglades - history, ecology, biology - and seeing the beautiful scenery and variety of birds... read more and fish, including very playful dolphins. We had a wonderful time with our guide Josh!

  Captain Josh was an expert in every possible way. Navigation, history, flora, wildlife...and has a rich personal story and connection to the region that is unmatched.
My family and... read more I could not possibly have asked for more.

The tour is about the dolphins, birds, scenery...but the experience is the life that is given to it by Josh's deep understanding and appreciation for where he lives and what he does.

Even if it's only about the dolphins...by all means, go...couldn't have been any closer to them playing and jumping. If you want more, this is where to go.

  Josh was the BEST tour guide I've ever had. We saw an abundance of animals on our tour including multiple dolphins, herons, pelicans, turtles, stingrays, sharks, and more. The dolphins... read more followed the boat for nearly a half hour jumping in and out of the wake just a couple feet from the boat. Josh answered any question we threw at him while he effortlessly schooled us on the history, geography, and culture of the Everglades. He seemed to have a story to illustrate every point he made and we were never bored on the four hour tour. That said, he never bogged us down with info either but kept us interested while pointing out wildlife we would have otherwise missed. We stopped on one of the outlying keys and he let us out of the boat to explore the beach and the whole island. Not only did Josh grow up in the Everglades, he went to school and got a degree in Biology (?) to supplement his already extensive knowledge of the area. When he told us that no one knows more about the 10,000 islands area of the Everglades, there was no reason to question his claim. He can speak intelligently on nearly any subject ranging from orchids to alligators, natives populations to wetland conservation. He really impressed us with his almost encyclopedic knowledge of his backyard- the Everglades. Anyone wanting a tour that goes beyond the scope of the typical fan boat tour should take this tour from Josh. This guy knows his stuff and you will too by the time the tour is over. I truly believe we got one of the best Everglades experiences available, and all while relaxing on his boat with a sun shade and comfy seats. I can't recommend Josh enough. This tour is your best bet to see the truly stunning array of life offered by the Everglades. Highly recommended.

  Joshua provided us with a knowledgeable and personalized service. We toured some of the ten thousand islands of the Everglades. Since Joshua was born and raised here (and has a... read more biology degree) he could provide information about the history and many plants and animals of the region. We had the joy of seeing bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, Eagle rays, stingrays, a bull shark, and many different types of birds. His boat was shaded and the seats comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would do it again if we come back!

  My family (2 adults and 2 children (11 &9)) took this tour with Josh and had an amazing time. We saw all sorts of wildlife and learnt a lot about... read more the Everglades. The highlight was seeing wild dolphins jumping in the wake of the boat and is a magical memory that will never be forgotten.

  My family (three adults and two children (11 and 7)) took this tour with captain Josh while we were visiting Florida. Josh was very knowledgeable. He knew where... read more to find the birds and dolphins. We don't feel rushed with him. During the trip we saw various birds, ray, horseshoe crab up close. The highlight of the trip is multiple dolphins rode the boat wake and played with us. It was truly an amazing experience. Josh also took us to a secluded beach area and let us stroll there until we are ready to go. My whole family really enjoyed this tour.

  We had a wonderful trip with captain Josh! He explained a lot about the animals in the Everglades. Our highlight was definitely when a few dolphins accompanied our boat and... read more played with the waves next to us. The tour wasn’t either too long nor too short. It was quite perfect! Thank you Josh for a absolutely stunning day!

  Josh is an absolutely wonderful guide. He is a literal living encyclopedia of local knowledge with a great sense of humor. Of course the highlight of the trip were the... read more dolphins. I smiled so hard my face hurt Josh's tour was hands down my favorite part of my visit to the Everglades.
