What we experienced was interesting Would have liked to have been exposed to some marsh ecology different flora and animals

Captain Josh was a great guide with more stories and facts than you can imagine. We saw many dolphin enjoying our wake, playing in the waves. We enjoyed all of the bird activity. We were brought to Pavillion Island for a nice shoreline walk. I think Josh went longer than our 3 1/2 hour time and did not seem in a run to end the trip. He really seems to enjoy his job and is good at it.

Our guide was a local with decades of knowledge, boating in the Everglades since he was 12. He knows all the good spots for seeing the other (wild) locals such as the raccoons, huge variety of birds, manatees, and can brag that he is friends with the local dolphins.

Captain Josh is amazing. He took excellent care of us with snacks and water. Shared so much information about the area, the wildlife and culture. We got history and biology lessons that were fun and entertaining. Thank you for making this an epic memory. Seeing dolphins play, visiting an island with amazing shells, the mangroves and the birds are magnificent!

We have already participated in this tour for a second time and it was amazing again. It was the highlight of our vacation. Josh is very knowledgeable about the environment and knows a lot about the different birds, the dolphins and the other wildlife that we encountered. We saw dolphins, huge pelicans and numerous birds. The boat was smooth and easy to ride. He had many extras like snacks, waters and sunscreen. If we had any questions or thought we saw something he would gladly stop and go more in depth. And the dolphins playing in the wake of the boat was an extra special treat. Strongly recommend this tour to anyone interested in wildlife and nature. Thank you very much!

We had an amazing day trip out to the Ten Thousand Islands- couldn't have been better. We had a private tour, due to Covid, so that was a bonus. We saw the mangroves, birds, and beautiful natural places, including the island with the shelly beach. (My first time seeing horseshoe crabs.) We also had dolphins playing around the boat in the wake, very close to us. I guess this is common here, you will likely see them if you go. We were unlucky with manatees and turtles the day we went. What made the trip really unique was that our captain was a real expert on local wildlife, who has done research projects, etc. He is also a very experienced boat captain, and the boat was very comfortable. I cannot recommend this highly enough. It was really wonderful.

Special & awesome day on the water. Capt Josh is an all-around great guy! He has a ton of patience and is super helpful. He was focused on our comfort and took care of everything. So friendly and fun to hang out with. Highly recommend booking your charter with Native /Josh. We’ll be back for sure! 5 stars!!

An absolute amazing tour. We had a total of 4 on the boat and captain Josh made sure we all felt safe and had a great time. We had great dolphins and birds. Pavilion key is an amazing spot to stop as well. Don't miss this opportunity if you are ever in the area!!

today I took a private tour with josh. he was born here and knows the territory inside out. he knows every tree and every animal and the animals know him. schools of dolfins came out to ride alongside our boat, we also spotted loggerhead turtles and many birds. highly recommendable tour where you see a lot of nature and have all the comforts of being in a Nice boat with an excellent guide with drinks and snacks...

We made a boat ride with Capt. Josh Fussell to the 10000 Islands in Florida. Josh is a very good guide and can report very interesting things about nature and animals. We saw a lot of dolphins, birds and also we saw manatees. We saw a beautiful sunset. We were 4 adults and everybody enjoyed a lot. We really can recommend him.

We had a wonderful experience with captain Josh! He is very knowledgeable and his love for the area is contagious. Our trip was informative interesting relaxing and most memorable! Our highlight was the pod of dolphins who happily played near us then followed in our wake! Highly recommended!!!

All the other reviews say it all - we had a fantastic time, seeing the islands, dolphins, turtle, bird life etc thank you

Words cannot describe what an incredible afternoon with had with Josh. Our family of four (adults plus 10 and 7 year old) had one of our most memorable and fun experiences ever. The diversity of wildlife was awesome, and joshs knowledge added so much to our afternoon. His biological knowledge and his love for the area and the animals who call it home made it such a special trip. PLUS he knew just how to get the dolphins to play in the wake of the boat. We will remember this afternoon forever. Thank you Josh!!

Thank you for showing us the wildlife including dolphin, sea turtles, and many birds. You did a great job.

Josh was knowledgeable and very kind. He made sure we were as comfortable as possible. He went out of his way to make sure we had a great time showing us dolphin and manatees.
