Overview

This is a premier learning experience in the Everglades Area and is superb for the entire family... from toddlers to the grandparents. Limited to just six guests, it is a personalized eco-adventure. Every day is different in the Everglades and 10,000 Islands so we try to be very flexible and dynamic. The tour may/will include a bit of birding, some photography, strolling thru tidal pools, shelling on a remote beach and exploration of one of the 10,000 Islands. The first part of the experience is a guided boating eco tour in search of the areas rich wildlife. The second part is an interpretive, guided walk on a remote barrier island to explore the island's beaches, tidal pools and inter-tidal zones. Note: June through October, we suggest the morning experiences due to the weather.

Great fun, great camping, great food!

Published on Feb, 2024

We had a great time during our 3-day, 2-night adventure. Don McCumber (our guide) made the excursion even better. I expected him to be knowledgeable various channels and islands ... I was not surprised that he was engaging and participated with our crazy group during our campfire sing-a-longs! BUT ... I had no idea that he would have so much knowledge about the myriad of flora, fauna and creatures that we encountered. His insights into the various conchs, mollusks and crustaceans and their interactions was a highlight for me. AND ... did I mention his culinary talents? The menu was diverse, filling and flavorful ... I had not expected this. I should also mention the company in general (Charles, Dan). Easy to work with and flexible. These traits were a must when coordinating folks from multiple states. An adventure in the Everglades? Work with these folks! Aquaterra Excursions and Everglades Boat Tours

Excellent tour of 10,000 Islands and the mangroves … Captain Dan knows his stuff , narrative items of the surrounding areas ,and of cultural interest … even managed to get the Dolphins to “ surf” behind the boat . My wife & I were very impressed with the tour , and highly recommend this experience !

Worth the drive!

Our guide Don, was the best! Very knowledgeable about birds, shells, and the mangroves. He added so much to the kayaking adventure. Just be prepared for no-see-ums.

Very good way to spend a half day getting a glimpse of the real Everglades

Capt. Charles Wright took me, my wife, and her parents out about a month ago. Great trip. Dude knows what he's talking about. The 5 green dots are for how solicitous Wright was of my elderly in-laws. Made it easy for them. Great way to spend the morning.
