Jerry was a local, knowledgeable and expert guide.
He travelled far to find the dolphins & manatees. The weather was cooler than usual. Although we saw no dolphins or manatees, we saw over 2 dozen white pelicans, meant kingfishers, oyster catchers and other tropical birds.
A very fun time on the water!

While Everglades National Park is a wilderness and the wildlife is just that ... wild., Our decades of experiences affords the best opportunity to locate, view and photograph wildlife. We are the "Quiet Alternative to an Airboat Ride". Airboats are not allowed in the Park where we operate. Note: June through October, we suggest the morning experiences due to the weather.

Stop At: Everglades National ParkFloridaEverglades Area Tours' National Park 2 Hour Dolphin, Birding and Wildlife Tours is a great option for those with limited time and is also a great introduction to the area. The entire Everglades area, including Everglades National Park, is a wonderful place for to view dolphins. With over 300 species of birds throughout the year, it is the only Park that was established for its biological and ecological considerations rather than its geological features. However, most of the 1.5 million acres in the Park are flooded and essentially out of reach for the average visitor. Everglades Area Tours can you take you to areas seldom reached by others. In comfortable captain's style seating, you will be safely brought deep into Everglades National Park's 10,000 Islands for an interpretive tour with your naturalist guide. Depending on the season, you can expect to encounter manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, herons, egrets, pelicans, rosette spoonbills, as well as, numerous species of fish and shore birds. Not only will you be introduced to the wonderful birding and wildlife in the area, you will also learn about the Everglades ecosystems, it rich heritage and long history.

Gerry was a fantastic guide with an excellent sense of humour and local knowledge of the glades, seasons and wildlife. We saw lots we wanted to see and were even joined by a small pod of dolphins that played and chased our boat. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Great experience! Small boat. Perfect for a couple or small family. Captain Don very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna!
Karie_J
He has amazing knowledge to share about the Everglades, the birds, and history or the sea shells. He communicated with us what, where, and how he was going to take us to places.

We had a great time. It was a beautiful day, the boat was comfortable, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We got close up to some nesting birds and while we enjoyed watching the birds our guide gave us all kinds of great information about the birds, their babies, and the island they were on. We continued our tour that took us to different island and we learned more about the native tribes that lived there, about a verity of species that live in the area and we got to see dolphins jumping out of the water near our boat.
