5Wonderful trip!
We really loved our trip with Wes. Although we didn’t get to see any Manatees we really enjoyed the boat ride. We did get to have a bottlenose dolphin follow us in our wake for about 10-15 minutes which was fun! Wes had a great personality and was very informative. We hope we get the opportunity of visiting again to get a chance to finally see a manatee! We would highly recommend this trip even just for the boat ride through the gorgeous piece of the everglades!
5Great trip
A great trip, pur guide Dallas was very informative and was a great host. We saw a manatee close up and Dallas was great at getting close to it but not so that it impeded the manatee. A great trip, wr would recommend
5Captain Dallas was great...
Captain Dallas was great and we saw a manatee up close and for quite a while. Also saw alligators. Very enjoyable experience.
4Captain Dallas was great....
Captain Dallas was great. Good guide and found all of the water critters easily, but it was hard to really see the manatees due to water visibility and distance. That’s the only downfall. Also felt like half price was a bit excessive for a baby under 3 months old but so be it on that because I did agree to pay it. Captain offered fan and toy for baby if needed. Good, kind gesture.
3Family Vacation
We had a no see and missed the manatees. We thought that might be a possibility. The boat ride was great and fun to be on the water. Dallas is a great tour guide.
5Captain Joe is the best
Captain Joe was terrific. He provided us with lots of interesting information. More importantly, he was patient and found us a manatee. We were so pleased

About Naples
Naples is a Gulf Coast city in south-west Florida, with white beaches, a long wooden pier, palm-lined shopping streets and a gateway to the Everglades.
Naples lies on Florida's Gulf coast, a city of wide white beaches, canals, golf courses and palm-lined avenues. Its pier, rebuilt several times since the 19th century, stretches out over the water, and Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South are lined with shops, galleries and restaurants in Spanish-style and tropical buildings.
