The Experience

What your day looks like

Embark on this super exhilarating boat trip out through the 10,000 Islands system of Everglades National Park. We take you beyond all the other boat trips out there, so we can witness the vast array of bird species, including the roseate spoonbill, white pelican, and all of the shore birds on remote beaches. Get off on a remote island to explore, while listening to the fascinating lore of the Old Everglades from your multi-generational captain guide. This is your chance to possibly see dolphins jumping out of the water, manatees, the critically endangered sawtooth fish, and more! Stop at a historic trading post, enjoy a narrated scenic drive, and grab lunch if you would like (the cost of lunch not included). Nature Walk led by a Naturalist - Head out with our experienced naturalist guide on an immersive dry walk along a linear strand in the Fakahatchee; often referred to as the "Amazon of North America." This is a wild and wonderful place, with the chance to encounter all kinds of wildlife, including large alligators, baby alligators, turtles, a vast array of bird species, and much more! Learn more about this incredible Everglades ecosystem from our experienced guide.
