We loved our tour with Captain Roy! He was very knowledgeable and we loved everything from the gators to snowy the bird that would follow the boat. I highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys nature and being on the water. My kids ages 5, 11, & 13 all loved this, that being said…it is definitely something the whole family can enjoy.

Our guide was very friendly & knowledgeable. He stopped at certain places, explained about the various types of birds, snails & other wildlife. Despite the temperatures being a bit chilly we were able to see some crocodiles suning themselves. My family & I enjoyed our tour, found it very informative & educational; we definitely would recommend it to others.

Totally enjoyed our outing. The weather was great at around 84 degrees and low wind. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. Wish we spent a little more time on the different birds but we only booked for an hour -would do a longer booking as our guide said we would make more stops
