Tour guiado en barco, kayak y a pie por los Everglades

Amazing tour with such a knowledgeable guide. The entire experience was perfect and we learned so much about the area.

The website and/or guide could easily have recommended super heavy duty clothing or even provided a few critical items (like apparently other guide services did for their clients). The mosquitos were so bad we couldn’t enjoy any of this, and seeing/hearing the unescapable pain my family was in was brutal. We’ve done similar Everglades kayak tours before so we showed up in reasonable clothing drenched head to toe in repellant, and this worked very well previously. The guide (Guy) showed up dressed like a beekeeper with heavy duty clothing, gloves, a hat/mosquito net, with no visible skin. If the service knew we'd be paddling into an inescapable onslaught, it would have been helpful if the website recommended dressing this way to clients. We met Guy at a local gas station that sells such items/ clothing, and if Guy knew we were headed into what he later said “had been one of the worst mosquito periods [he’d] ever seen lately”, it would have really helpful had he recommended gearing up a lot more. Instead, we all set off into the mangroves and into a pulsating fog of mosquitos. No additional clothing/ gloves/ netting was offered by the service/our guide, which was particularly infuriating after we passed multiple other tours whose participants reported that their guides had given their clients gloves and hats/mosquito nets etc. Once we were out in the mangroves, there was no escape from getting constantly needled from head to toe. We counted the seconds until we could get out of there. I’m just glad that Guy, dressed in his beekeeper outfit, could find humor in the situation by pointing out multiple times that “man, the bugs are really eating you guys alive” and “hey, your Dad seems pretty angry”. But I think Guy had a good time, and thankfully he really didn’t seem to be bothered by the mosquitos at all.

Our guide was awesome - we learned a lot about the local flora and fauna and kept the tour fun and light.

Fantastic tour in the Everglades National Park! This is out in the ocean so no alligators but saw 4 dolphins (by kayak and jumping our boat waves), many different birds, tons of crabs, and learned a lot about the the history and ecology of the area. Captain Don is a true pro!

I can’t imagine a better tour guide than Don! He is so interesting and knowledgeable. His enthusiasm is contagious and you definitely realize that he has a deep love and regard for this beautiful area

We had a fabulous guided tour with Captain Don; his enthusiasm and knowledge were delightful. The weather was beautiful and we saw lots of sea birds and dolphins. The mangroves were fascinating as were the lightning whelks and horsehoe crabs. The trip was not quite as described by Viator - no manatees for example (apparently they are rarely spotted) and the 'hike' was a short walk on a beach (which was lovely but not a hike). We enjoyed the boat ride and the kayaking and the wild life we saw. As mentioned earlier, Captain Don was an excellent guide.

We had an amazing experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, teaching us about the history of the Everglades and surrounding area. He was able to tailor the tour as we encountered wildlife, knowing the best change to spot birds and dolphins! The kayak portion was my personal favorite part, I liked being tucked away in a cove and taking the time to paddle about close to the mangroves. My husband and I both agree this was the highlight of our trip, thank you again!

The boat ride was comfortable and fun. Our guide, Don, was outstanding. He took us into pods of dolphins who "surfed" in the wake of our boat, showed us numerous bird habitats and took us to an island with more shells than I have ever seen in one place. Lots of stories and information was shared. Kayaking off the island with Don and one other couple on the tour was peaceful and enjoyable. It is obvious he has been doing this for quite awhile and loves what he is doing, which made for an interesting and enjoyable day. We highly recommend this tour.

The guide was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable and helped us see lots of wildlife, including dolphins! The area where the tour is conducted is beautiful and not crowded. I had an amazing time!

What an outing! 3.5 hours into the Everglades. Don is amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and full of interesting stories and explanations. Came away with a much greater appreciation of the Everglades, its wildlife, flora and history.
