Visit two national parks in a half day! Experience the remote estuary ecosystem of Everglades National Park and see dolphins near our boat! There is always the chance to spot manatees, critically endangered sawtooth fish and sharks. This is a birding hot spot and you may see roseate spoonbills and white pelicans.
Get off on a remote island to explore while listening to the fascinating lore of the Old Everglades from your multi-generational captain guide. We will visit an historic trading post. This trip combines this saltwater region with the fresh water swamps of Big Cypress.

Embark on a 75-80 minute boat trip through the pristine 10,000 islands region of Everglades National Park. We are one of only a few select tour providers who hold permits to go into the actual national park. Our tours are led by very knowledgeable guides who are expert in finding the wildlife! This boat trip is co-led by our multi-generational boat captain / guides, who know the region like the back of their hands. This is your chance to possibly have dolphins jump with the boat; and to see manatees! There is an amazing array of birds out there amidst the bird rookeries we wil pass near. We will most likely get an opportunity to get off and explore an island out there in this remote region.
