WE ARE THE MANATEE EXPERTS!
FLORIDA'S WILD SIDE: GUIDED BY THE EXPERTS
Join Captain Sterling’s eco experts for an unforgettable, up-close journey into the heart of the Everglades — where manatees, dolphins, and wild Florida await.
We’ve been running these waters for over 35 years, taking folks out in small groups so they can experience the quiet magic of the Everglades the way it’s meant to be. And after all that time, we’ve gotten to know a thing or two—like where the manatees like to spend their day when the world’s not watchin’.

No two tours are ever the same—what you’ll see depends on the season and the tide. But one thing’s for sure: we’ll make sure it’s a trip you won’t forget.

Mangroves are the lifeblood of the Florida Keys ecosystem—providing shelter, shoreline protection, and a home for incredible wildlife. Discover why these coastal trees are so important and how you can explore them on an eco tour.
Got questions? You’re not the first—and you won’t be the last. Here are some of the things folks ask me most before heading out on the water.
