Awesome! Learned so much! - I was pretty bummed when on the morning of our excursion my husband and I woke up to an overcast sky and a chilly temp. I didn't figure we'd see much. I was wrong! Had a great day with Julio. Saw loads of huge gators, an array of birds, snakes, dolphins and more. All of our guides were extremely knowledgeable. Lunch was terrific. My husband got the fried shrimp and l loved it (and he's picky about his fried shrimp)! I highly recommend this trip. And don't forget to tip your guides!

Amazing Day - Our guide Mark was friendly, knowledgeable & all around a really great guide. No hiding how passionate he is about protecting the wildlife & how much he loves it. We were picked up on time and promptly made our way to each stop along with her tour, with Mark’s ‘bad’ jokes and whitty humor entertaining us during the times in between stops. Lunch was excellent & timely & captain Gary was able to give us the perfect ending to our day with the dolphins playing in our wake.

Unforgettable Everglades Experience! - What a wonderful day. The weather was perfect for our adventure. Our guide, Julio, was very informative and kept us on an appropriately paced schedule. From Fort Lauderdale, we drove across the state, learning about the Native Americans, and the flora and fauna of the Everglades. Our first adventure was the airboat ride. Thank goodness for the provided earplugs! We did see birds and alligators. We then had a scenic drive and a short hike along a boardwalk, seeing more birds, alligators, turtles and fish. Lunch was in Everglades City and the mahi salad was very good. Our final stop (and my favorite) was the mangrove boat ride. Gary, the captain, was a great guide showing us pelicans and then the dolphins who played around our boat for at least 10 minutes. Overall, it was a great experience! One suggestion, buy tickets directly from the vendor, and you will save money.

Great Tour of Everglades - We had a great time on this tour. The weather was nice, our guide was very knowledgeable and courteous, the van was not too crowded and my husband was happy he didn't have to be driving! The guide knew where to find alligators and birds, and restrooms! Our favorite part was the boat ride at the end and seeing dolphins playing in the wake. Very enjoyable.

Everglade tour - Our guide and driver was excellent with history and marine and animal information. He took time to stop and see alligators, various birds along the road. Gave information regarding stops and the plan which was helpful and keep the group interactive. The airboat swamp tour and boat tour off Everglade Island was great. I would recommend any visitor use this tour. It was a long day, however, if you drove yourself, you would miss the information that was added throughout the tour.
