We... read more saw the mangroves, birds, and beautiful natural places, including the island with the shelly beach. (My first time seeing horseshoe crabs.) We also had dolphins playing around the boat in the wake, very close to us. I guess this is common here, you will likely see them if you go. We were unlucky with manatees and turtles the day we went.
What made the trip really unique was that our captain was a real expert on local wildlife, who has done research projects, etc. He is also a very experienced boat captain, and the boat was very comfortable.
I cannot recommend this highly enough. It was really wonderful.

His small boat, equipped with comfortable deck chairs,... read more is perfect for getting up close and personal with the 10,000 Islands area. Highlights of the trip for me were the 30+ minutes that dolphins played in the boat wake. Captain Josh knew just how to get the dolphins interested in playing and at one time, we had five cruising our wake, complete with one baby! The trip lasted 3-4 hours, included a visit to a secluded beach island, and we found dolphins, turtles, a manatee and birds galore. As a senior solo female traveler, I truly appreciated how helpful Josh was in getting me on and off the boat. Thought the trip was well worth the money and will do it again if I return to the area. Recommend you take sunscreen, a comfortable cover-up, and sunglasses. Captain Josh had water and kept us off the bugs!
