Swamp Adventure was a Hit - My husband and I were looking forward to this adventure and we were not disappointed! Captain Adam was a terrific guide. He pointed out alligators, birds, and trees. The scenery was beautiful and the roads were filled with water from the recent rainstorm. We enjoyed hearing about his family’s swamp adventures. Thanks for a great trip.

We will be back! - We had the greatest time going out with Captan Adam! He was great at answering the million questions the kids asked and was very informative in everything about the area. We started the tour of cold and cloudy and ended it with a beautiful sunset. We got to see several alligators, and birds. We had a few very quick sightings of snakes but they were too fast to see what type they were because of how fast they went. We will be back in a drier season we so we can get off on some of the walking trails soon!! Thank you!

Best way to see the Glades - OMG! Capt Steve’s guides are awesome! A swamp buggy tour is a MUST when in the Everglades/Big Cypress area. It was my first and won’t be my last. Sherold was amazing and soooo wise and knowledgeable! We got to get out into the river and the vibe felt was surreal thinking this is what Florida used to be all over. The views are breathtaking!! Sign up, you won’t regret it!

Wonderfully enjoyable and education tour. - This was such a fun tour! I had really hoped to see a bear or Florida panther, but they were not to be found that day. We did see Alligators and while both were very informative about the area and the creatures within, Ashley was awesome in sharing her knowledge of the gators. We all felt at home and comfortable asking questions. I take a lot of photos and Ashley also does so she showed me a couple things she does to get some great pics as well. We saw birds, a deer and many alligators on our tour. So many things were pointed out and it was overall a wonderful and educational experience. Thank you to both for making it so enjoyable!!

Needs maintenance - The guide's and scenery were very enjoyable. The tour and equipment are very "rustic". They need to improve professionalism and maintenance of buggy's for the price they charge.
