We had an absolutely amazing experience on the 10,000 Islands Beach Tour! From spotting dolphins playfully swimming alongside the boat to seeing majestic manatees, alligators, and a variety of beautiful birds, every moment was unforgettable. Captain Wes did a phenomenal job, sharing his knowledge and ensuring we had the best possible experience. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and memorable wildlife encounter!

We had a great time with Captain John on the Manatee excursion today. While the Manatee population was fairly sparse today… we saw only five or six very briefly… we did get to see an alligator and several beautiful birds. Captain John shared some of his collection of Manatee and alligator artifacts. He also shared his expansive knowledge about crocodiles, manatee, alligators, local flora and fauna. The best part, however, was Captain John's endless supply of dad jokes! 🤣🤣 He's a natural entertainer! Great time in Naples!

Captain Dallas provided an exceptional manatee sightseeing tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and the surrounding area. His passion for the environment was evident, and he shared fascinating facts about the manatees, their habitats, and the importance of conservation.
Captain Dallas was also very patient and accommodating to all passengers, ensuring everyone had a chance to see the manatees and enjoy the experience. He created a relaxed and informative atmosphere, making the tour both educational and enjoyable.

We went on a 1.5 hr tour as we had little kids and 3 hours would have been too much. It was perfect for us. Manatees, alligators, local birds…check, check, check! Captain John with his humor was the highlight for the adults, however! (Also great with our kids.) Would highly recommend!

Friendly captain who offered a short boat ride near the marina. Nice tour if you only have 1.5 hours. We did see the manatees pop up but they were somewhat difficult to see in the tannin-colored waters from nearby mangroves. We also saw a few gators and a crocodile on the shoreline. Captain Paul was fun and very informative and answered all of our questions. If we had more time, warmer weather, and proper clothing, I would go on the longer 3-hour ride. For January, it just didn’t work this time around.

I had the most amazing experience on this boat ride! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable adventure. We were lucky to see dolphins playing in the water, which was absolutely magical. The alligators were fascinating to observe in their natural habitat, and the manatees were such gentle giants—it was incredible to see them up close.

The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip even more enjoyable with their insights and stories about the wildlife. The boat was comfortable, and the scenery was stunning. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and unique way to connect with nature. Definitely an experience I’ll treasure for a long time!

Captain Andrew and the Manatee Sightseeing team were great. We had a wonderful tour and saw many manatees and other wildlife. I use a power wheelchair. The team had a small ramp to allow me to get onto the boat. The dock ramp was quite steep. Great tour!

I had a lot of fun on the trip! We saw manatees, alligators, and dolphins. Our captain was Captain John and he was so nice he made jokes and made the boat go fast and he even let me drive the boat. I really recommend going here and if you get captain John you are lucky!
