Manatee, Dolphin, and 10,000 Islands Eco Beach Tour by Boat

Posted By : mbue2024
Views were amazing out at Whitehorse key! Great Capt. Ed. Dolphins were amazing jumping the wake in our boat! We were hoping for better wildlife. We knew it was a bad time of year for manatee, but we were still hopeful. We did see a murky blob and snout come up once. We also saw several alligators and a few dolphins and birds. Stopping near Whitehorse key in the water was breathtaking and then pulling onto the key for a break and to go shelling was nice. Definitely go for the 3 hour tour, we'll worth the experience, but temper expectations about manatees. Also very hard to find with no signs and the marina shop guy was very grumpy even when we purchased items from his store.

It was more awesome than we even imagined! Wes was the best captain.. and knew all the spots to see SO many manatee. We had playful dolphins swimming in our wake, even caught a glimpse of a gator. All that awesome-ness aside, Wes is good guy… so positive, energetic, and genuinely friendly. We truly recommend this! Xoxo! Mindy & Gaither

Captain John is a great guide. We saw manatees and he was able to entice the dolphin to play. Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and habitat. So interesting. Highly recommended tour.

First, Captain John was great. He was extremely knowledgeable, full of jokes (they never ended), and knew where to find all of the wildlife. Everything went smoothly and we had a great time. We would do it again!

I had a day to myself after my friends left Naples and decided to book this outing. The trip was a blast! Captain John was a lot of fun, and so knowledgeable about the ecosystem. The boat ride was super smooth and we saw a lot of wildlife. The island we stopped at was beautiful and it felt worlds away from where we departed.

Excellent 3 hour trip. Captain Ed and his colleagues do everything they can to ensure you see as much wildlife as possible. I have seen a couple of reviews suggesting that they disrupt the wildlife. That was not our experience we had a manatee eating weeds from the side of our boat and the dolphins clearly loved playing in the wake of the boat rather than trying to get away from it.
Fantastic 3 hours seeing things I will never see again.

They took me $551 But they don’t let me go. I am so upset They give me a Wrong address. And I called him again. I go over there. 30 minute late. They don’t let me go no refund. And I tell them can I go tomorrow or Monday they say no

Captain John is the best! Knowledgeable and funny. He is as protective of nature as he is of guests on his boat. The wildlife sights were amazing.

Captain John was knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot about the wildlife in the area. We saw alligators, a salt water crocodile, dolphins, manatees ( my favorite ) multiple different kinds of birds, a raccoon and a manta ray. The beach we stopped at was beautiful with a ton of sea shells for you to collect and keep. Highly recommend this tour. If we get a chance to return to southwest Florida we would definitely do this tour again.

Welp, we didn’t get to see a manatee but we had a nice tour and ride with Captain John. He was jolly and informative. And we got to see alligators and dolphins and collect seashells at one of the 10,000 islands. Captain John is laid back and accommodating. And the outfit is well organized. Thank you Captain John and co!
