Detailed itinerary

Experience a close-up wildlife encounter with one of the smartest animals on earth, dolphins, which seem to be naturally drawn to humans and like to show off their jumping skills in our boat's wake. Other animals which are possible to see while on the trip are manatees, ospreys, bald eagles and different types of wading birds. You will also have a chance to learn about the greater Everglades ecosystem and the steps that are being taken to preserve it. And last but not least we will watch the colorful Florida sunset from the water.
While out on a trip feel free to ask any questions and express any concerns or needs you may have. And don't forget to bring your camera since there will be lots of opportunities to take some good photos of the sunset and wildlife!

Or if you do not want to stop at the island at all and stay on the boat instead the whole time we can do that too - it is fully up to you.
