Everglades National Park Photography Tours

The guide Darrel Daniels was a local with a perspective unlike other guides. He knew historical events and landmarks as well as personal details that added authenticity to our experience.

We had a great time during our 3-day, 2-night adventure. Don McCumber (our guide) made the excursion even better. I expected him to be knowledgeable various channels and islands ... I was not surprised that he was engaging and participated with our crazy group during our campfire sing-a-longs!BUT ... I had no idea that he would have so much knowledge about the myriad of flora, fauna and creatures that we encountered. His insights into the various conchs, mollusks and crustaceans and their interactions was a highlight for me.AND ... did I mention his culinary talents? The menu was diverse, filling and flavorful ... I had not expected this.I should also mention the company in general (Charles, Dan). Easy to work with and flexible. These traits were a must when coordinating folks from multiple states.An adventure in the Everglades? Work with these folks! Aquaterra Excursions and Everglades Boat Tours

Excellent tour of 10,000 Islands and the mangroves … Captain Dan knows his stuff , narrative items of the surrounding areas ,and of cultural interest … even managed to get the Dolphins to “ surf” behind the boat . My wife & I were very impressed with the tour , and highly recommend this experience !

Had an easy drive down thru Everglade City. Captain Dan was wonderful! Saw dolphins, manatees, pelicans, egrets and blue herons.

Dan was a very knowledgeable guide and we learned a lot from him. It was nice to spend the afternoon out on the boat. Due to the weather we saw mostly birds, but a dolphin did stick its fin out of the water a few times!

The boating in the Everglades was wonderful. The weather was spectacular, and the tour guide knew a good deal about the ecosystem and history. There is a nice amount of boating, but very little walking. We really walked for only about 200 feet, I would guess.

Our guide Don, was the best! Very knowledgeable about birds, shells, and the mangroves. He added so much to the kayaking adventure. Just be prepared for no-see-ums.

Capt. Charles Wright took me, my wife, and her parents out about a month ago. Great trip. Dude knows what he's talking about. The 5 green dots are for how solicitous Wright was of my elderly in-laws. Made it easy for them. Great way to spend the morning.

This was a tremendous way to see the Everglades National Park. The Captain was terrific at spotting wild life on both land and water. He was very knowledgable, extremely friendly and amusing.We managed to see dolphins, sharks and a manatee together with a host of birds.There was little to fault with this trip. However no water was provided free or to buy this is, in my mind, a serious omission given the length of the trip, three hours, and a temperature well into the 90s. Whether this was a one off omission on this trip or a policy I do not know but it should be rectified immediately as I would suggest that this could be dangerous given the temperature.So be warned take plenty of water and you will have a great time.

Great experience getting out in the mangroves and seeing lots of wildlife. Very knowledgeable guide on marine life, bird life, shellfish, and the history of the area. This is an ocean and river tour with an outboard motor. No airboat and no gators.

We saw so many beautiful birds whilst touring some of the thousands of islands in the Everglades. Also learned some fascinating things about the ecosystem and other animals that inhabit the area. Don was a lovely and hugely knowledgable guide. Amazing trip!

We had such an amazing time on this outing! A special shout out to Capt Dan who expertly guided us including our kids ages 7-9 on this boating/walking adventure in this unique estuary ecosystem. We had the magical experiences of boating alongside dolphins swimming in our wake, learning about the lives of ospreys and bald eagles as we watched the adult birds and their young perched in their nests, and casually walking along an exposed sandbar noting wildlife, indigenous history and artifacts and other fascinating points of interest. Dan was a patient and informative guide tailoring his delivery to the needs of our small group whose ages spanned from the young to older adults. We would definitely recommend this trip and would absolutely go with this outfit again on another excursion. Thanks for the great memories in this most beautiful of wild spaces!

As with most of these excursions, the guide will make or break it. Don, our naturalist guide, was superb. His depth of knowledge, combined with an extraordinary ability to communicate, made this a very worthwhile experience. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience, quite place :) The views and the boat captain were amazing . You should try it at least once

We had an enjoyable tour on a very windy day that clearly limited what was safe to do. Had full confidence in our boat driver who had a lot of knowledge, but needed to be drawn out via questions. Had fun with dolphins playing in our wake, saw eagles and ospreys, and spent time hiking on a sandy key loaded with birds. Great day to be out enjoying nature, but more presentation on the ecology and wildlife would have improved the experience

We had an excellent tour guide-very knowledgeable about the islands and sea life. He took us way out away from shore so we could have the ultimate experience. We saw dolphins, sharks, eagles, several other birds, and more. Rabbit Island was neat to see with all the shells on the shoreline. It was interesting to learn about the trees and experience the changes in tide. I highly recommend the tour!
