There were six people on our three hour tour with four of the folks from our group. It was a nice relaxing paddle through some lakes and through Mangrove tunnels on February 18, a sunny day. Even though it was afternoon we saw many birds and a couple of alligators. An Osprey grabbed a fish from the water and flew... more

We took two tours - the mangrove tunnels tour and the boat assisted kayak tour. The mangrove tour is advertised on the website but isn't called that on the reservations page which is unnecessarily confusing. I called and made the reservations over the phone. They tell you to be there early but they seem to always leave late. The mangrove... more

We had a terrific experience with this company and would love to do more. We took a power boat assisted kayak trip for a half day. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, very pleasant, and the small group size was a perfect. We saw many, many birds, watched dolphins, and took a break looking at shells on one of the many... more

I recommend that people ONLY consider doing the half day ECO tour with Charles Wright's company. We made a big mistake of doing a longer fishing trip and got shafted. The fishing guide component was a complete waste of time (he didn't like to fish and his advice was invariably wrong!) ...and you get overcharged for services. DO NOT WASTE... more

While standing up in the relatively stable kayak to get a better look around, I was almost knocked out by a sudden surprise bump. A manatee had moved under the... more

Went on 2 Everglades tours through Everglades Area Tours, a 6-hour kayak Eco-Tour (Mangrove Tunnels to Gulf Beaches) one day, and a 3-hour bicycle Eco-Tour the next day. Both tours were guided by people who had taken the University of Florida Master Naturalist course, and so were extremely capable and knowledgeable about the area and its plants and animals. The... more

Hereby I would like to thank to cpt. James Wright for an awesome andenture. We have been in Florida just for a few days, but 10.000 Islands ECO Kayak tour was No.1 out of the whole trip. As we are from Europe, the whole prep has been done via internet with no problem. The tour itself is simply amazing. Sailing... more

My wife Cindy and I decided to indulge in a kayak eco tour - a wonderful experience. We arrived at JT's on Chokoloskee Island to meet for our tour. We and one other couple, from Indiana, were on this tour. After looking around JT's a bit, were then transported a short distance in a unique six-passenger golf cart to the... more
