The husband and wife duo of tour guides did their best to show us all a good time. It was a little too warm to see many manatees but we did get to see some mommies and babies. This was the highlight of my trip

This experience was wonderful! Unfortunately, there were no manatee sightings for our tour. They said they haven’t had that happen in years! We still had a great time. Captain John and Robert were both very knowledgeable of the marine life and the history of the area. They were also super passionate about the care involved with maintaining the ecosystem and wildlife. They were not just out here to disrupt wildlife in order to make another dollar. They truly cared about the environment and about sharing their knowledge. We had about 30 people on the boat and Robert took the time to shake every persons hand and thank them for coming. These guys were awesome!!

Tour leaders are husband and wife team of Captain John and Kathy. They own the boat & their enthusiasm for the manatees and environment is unsurpassed. This tour was so much more than I expected. They do not fill the boat to capacity so all riders get a chance to move about the boat comfortably & see the manatees.And boy did we see them. Ive been on other tours & never saw any; this tour, I lost count. Amazing how many we saw. Kathy just loves these sea cows & her enthusiasm is contagious. Not only do John & Kathy conduct these tours, they also do volunteer work for many local environmental causes. I highly recommend this tour. You will get your moneys worth .

We had an awesome time today. Captain John and Robert were a great pair. It was really relaxing. We saw a bunch of gators and even saw a manatee when they were supposed to be up out of the area. Thanks for the great time.

Had a great time learned some more about the river. Captain and first mate were excellent. Only negative was trip was supposed to be two and a half hours and it was 2 hours even. Said it had to do with not seeing another oxbow because of a 92 foot boat going through the lock which would have made us over the two and a half hours.

This ecotour was relaxing and informative. There were snacks for the guest as well as complementary binoculars for guests. We went out for the sunset trip and even with bad weather the capitan and first mate were prepared with raincoats and blankets. We were even lucky enough to spot some dolphins! It was a great way to experience a different part of Fort Myers.

My husband and I went on the manatee tour and had a wonderful time. We saw many manatees including a mommy and baby. The baby was as curious about us as we were of them and came right up to the boat to check us out. Another manatee came to the back of the boat to gnaw on the rope.

Fantastic day on the water. Very informative guide. At the end of the trip, the Captain gave everyone a handmade knitted manatee that his wife made. It was so nice of them!! Highly recommend this tour.

Incredible experience! We brought a group for a charter cruise on the Caloosahatchee and were so impressed with Captain John and his First Mate Robert. Their knowledge of the areas history and ecology was impressive and we were both informed and entertained along the way. I highly recommend them to locals and tourists alike.
