We took the boat tour with Corey, and we can’t wait to go back! He showed us bird nests with little chicks, dolphins surfing along the boat, I’m still not convinced he didn’t pay them to show up 😜 and the most incredible of all an endangered sawfish! As he whisked is through the ten thousand islands We passed maybe three islands before I was completely turned around - just incredible - he knows the place like the back of his hand. Definitely worth it! The whole team was really knowledgeable and it’s always fun to be around people who enjoy what they do!

My son and a friend of mine and myself went to the Smallwood store. Corey was amazing. We learned so much history about the everglades. He was very friendly and knew so much about such a beautiful place. We decided to take a boat tour with corey. We made the right choice. We loved it so much that we are going again. One week later. And Corey is definitely always going to be our tour guide.

This ecotour included bird watching and brief tour of formerly occupied island (by the tour guides family). Our guide was very informative and sunset was just lovely.

My parents and I took the Bloody Watson tour with Captain Gary. My parents are interested in historical homesteading and American frontier life so this was right up their alley. We learned a lot about Ed Watson and his sugar cane plantation, including his bloody end. Learning how many of the “10,000 keys” got their names and how much the area has changed over the years was fascinating.

The tour included getting out of the boat at the Watson Place and looking at what is left of it. The mangroves has reclaimed most of the area so there was less to see than I thought there would be but was neat nonetheless.

We also managed to see a lot of wildlife - dolphins, eagles, osprey, pelicans, ibis, a night heron, and more.

We all loved the tour (three adults; two 60+ yrs old, one 35) and would recommend it to ages teen and above. It may be a bit boring for children, except for the dolphins which you are in no way guaranteed to see.

Truly a step back in time. So glad I made the trip down there. Best boat tour ever. So many dolphins. Birds and history packed on one small Island.
