Great fun time with Tyler. He made the whole trip, fun, racing, and informative. We were very lucky to see Crocodiles and Gators, but the highlight of the trip was seeing dolphins circle feeding. I never knew what it was until Tyler educated us about what it was. It was a small group, only 4 of us, and that is why I picked this tour. Don't go with the big guys, go with this tour guide..

We were so impressed with Ty, our captain and tour guide. His love of the job and area show. We Saw dolphins, alligators, many different birds and had an excellent time "shelling" on a private beach.
