Dolphins & Prey

Everglades National Park Dolphin, Birding and Wildlife Boat Tour (2 hours)
Our 1.5 hour boat tour was during a cold spell. We did see dolphins playing in the wade of the boat, bird of prey (eagle & eaglet / Osprey with its two babies) in their nests but no wildlife. Our guide gave a small lecture on mangrove, how he became an operator for the National Park and also he did identity birds & type of dolphins we were looking at.
If one decides to tour with this company, the tour boat (a high sided John boat) has 5 uncomfortable chairs and a small bench to carry 6 passengers. There are no bathroom or shade. Our 9am trip was cold with a temp of 60 degrees. Luckily, some of us had extra jackets.
The services & facility at the main office was good. There’s a parking lot, bathrooms and seating area.
All the participants were there on time but our guide was quite late. So our trip was short.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
I am sorry that you were disappointed in your experience. But, I am happy that you enjoyed the dolphins, eagles, ospreys, little blue herons, snowy egrets, white egrets, great blue herons, tri-colored herons, royal terns and swallow-tailed kites.
Unfortunately, our thermostats do not control the outside temperature. But, you were prepared and brought appropriate clothing as encouraged in your email confirmation.
The boat is a 27' x 8.5' Skiff with captains style seating that is perfect for the very shallow calm waters of the 10,000 Islands. We limit each tour to just six guests on the boat for an intimate experience.
I believe you may have errored in your statement. Your guide was not late, nor was your trip shortened. We only truncate trips for unexpected weather or customer's requests.
Hopefully, next time the temperature will be above 60 degrees.
Beautiful area with a knowledgeable guide

Our guide was very knowledgeable. He was able to identify and tell us about every species of bird we came upon. He piloted us expertly through the shallow waters of the 10,000 islands area of the Everglades Park. On the way out, we encountered a line dolphin who was in the mood to play. He surfed in our wake for a bit, and then he jumped out and twisted, splashing the captain on purpose. It was hilarious... he did it several times before turning back. Later, we spotted a fairly large flock of white pelicans. They were huge and flew very gracefully. It was beautiful and peaceful. On the way back, our guide checked in in a kayaker to make sure he wasn't lost.
A beautiful, sunny day

I liked that this was a small boat for 4-6 passengers. We rode through 10,000 islands, saw dolphins and a lot of birds snowy white egret, blue heron, baby blue heron and osprey. We did get to see a mama osprey and her 3 babies in a nest. The tour guide was knowledgable and talked a lot about the mangroves and birds.
good experience

seeing the shell island and dolphin swimming next to our boat, guide dan very knowledgeable about area,was a little windy so did not see too much wildlife
Response from Host , Mar 2021
Thank you for taking time to do this review. The wind speed and direction, as well as, the tidal stage can influence what we encounter in the brief time that we are in the wilderness.
We would like you to come back. But, next time, please reserve the Everglades National Park Expedition. It is 3.5 hour tour instead of just 2 hours. Typically, the longer that you are in the Park the more opportunities to encounter wildlife you will have.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
