We HIGHLY recommend doing a tour and make sure you ask about the "All Day, Take You Anywhere You Want To Go" full day cruising! You can rent the entire boat with captain Craig for $1,300.00! GREAT TIME to be had by all! BYOB, Great sound system, great time!

I was somewhat impressed with the dolphin tour I went on this morning. Captain Steve and First Mate…read moreJoel were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the wildlife that lives in the bay. During the tour, I saw a handful of dolphins, which made it worth it. I have two complaints about the experience. First, the tour was way too crowded. I had gone on this tour once in the past, and there were about ten people on the boat. This time around, there were 32 people. This made it incredibly difficult to move around the boat to try and spot dolphins. Moreover, all of us were practically sitting on top of one another. The bench seating couldn't accommodate all of us. My other issue with this tour was the lack of shade. Only the back third of the boat was covered, so sitting in the front was incredibly hot. Most of the other pontoon boats we passed were shaded completely. If you're going to go on this dolphin tour, I'd recommend going earlier in the morning. My 10:00 a.m. tour was far too hot and far too crowded. Also, I'd suggest that you wear sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and clothing that covers your shoulders. If not, prepare to get some sunburn. A full bottle of water or two is also a necessity. Finally, make sure you bring some cash along to tip the captain and first mate.

We enjoyed it so much and will definitely recommend it to all our friends and family. Captain Joe was professional, friendly and went over all the details about the boat before setting out. His friend David and his wife Nanette were the only other ones with us and they were really nice noting points of interest along the trip and giving us some good restaurant recommendations. Seeing the sun set over Sanibel Island while out on a sailboat is something that we will always remember. It was magnificent!

Bryce was an awesome captain. I am not a huge fan of mosquitoes or swamp, I thought, but my…read morepreconceived notions of the Everglades were incorrect. Bryce picked us up from the wrong dock (we had trouble finding the right one) and happily led us to the boat and offered us water and ear protection. He gave us a short safety talk, and helped manage our expectations of seeing gator since it was 96 degrees at 2pm in August. Gators do not like the heat that hot. Bryce was surprised to see a lot of gators on our tour and we had a really great experience we will never forget. He showed us all kinds of sights and I didnt see a single mosquito or snake.

His passion, knowledge, and deep respect for the Everglades were evident from the very beginning, and it truly elevated the entire experience. We saw alligators, crocodiles and a wide variety of other animals up close while learning fascinating details about their behaviors, habitats, and the importance of conservation. The owner took his time explaining everything, answering questions, and making sure everyone felt safe and engaged throughout the tour. The experience was well organized, educational, and incredibly exciting for all. You can tell this is not just a business, but a true labor of love. If you're looking for an authentic, unforgettable Everglades wildlife experience led by someone who genuinely cares about the animals and the environment, Everglades Adventure is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

From there, we went to the airboat before we got to go on the airboat. Addison showed us some different snakes which we got to hold and taught us more about the animals in the area. We had Captain Fred take us out on the airboat. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the animals and fauna of the area. We did this during off-season so we had the boat to ourselves, which was really awesome. Highly suggest to anyone and everyone that they take this tour. The half-day was plenty to us. The full day would've been cool. Maybe that will happen next time. Make sure to ask for Addison and Fred.
