Solo half day birding - Had a great morning exploring the Space Coast! Lots of egrets, herons, storks, kingfishers, pelicans, raptors, vultures, and shore birds. An armadillo and manatees were also a cool surprise! impressive biodiversity. Rebecca is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide! Would recommend for anyone visiting Orlando!

Three Rivers Expedition - Rebecca is very knowledgeable about the wildlife surrounding the Three Lakes. She took us to many locations with various wildlife opportunities. My wife and I had a great time and would do it again.

Second time birding with Archaeopteryx - My first time birding with Archaeopteryx was such a positive experience that I told Beck that I would schedule again the next time I was in the Orlando area. This time I booked a full day and Beck knew right where to go to get the primary species I wanted to find: Snail Kite, Least Bittern, Bachman's Sparrow, and Gray-headed Swamphen. Additionally, we got some really good looks at a few other rarities for me including the Swallow-tailed Kite and the Glossy Ibis, and a whole lot of other birds. I strongly recommend their guiding service if you have 1/2 or a full day in the area. I am hoping to do a few of their planned trips in the near future.

Great bird/gator watch site and environment! - Exceeded all my expectations of the number of birds identified and the quality of the setting for bird/gator watching and photography! My driver/pro saw and identified dozens of birds.

Very interesting tour. We highly recommend. - We had a great time. Our tour guide (Rebecca) was extremely conversant on all respects of Florida wildlife and plant life. Her specialty was birds and she provided great insight about the various birds we saw and positioned us to take a number of excellent photographs. We highly recommend.

Alex was a true pleasure.... - Alex was a true pleasure. His knowledge of flora and fauna was sooo good. He targeted the birds I asked for and so much more! All I can say is the day went way too fast and left me wanting to see more.

Great photography experience - Loved it, the setting was great, the instructor was very knowledgeable and experienced in birds. I took great pictures. Many birds to see, alligators too. I would highly recommend this experience. Worth the investment. They picked me up and took us to the site and asked frequently about my needs.

Great tour!! - Highly recommend this tour! Rebecca was very knowledgeable and a delight to talk to. She was able to find the birds I asked her about and we even saw a Whooping Crane!! This tour did have some hiking, but a lot of it was seeing birds from the car or not far from the car, so it would be great for people of differing mobility. 100% would do this again.

Great trip - Rebecca was a great guide. She shared lists of the birds we saw and photos. We saw multiple endangered species. One of my faves was the Shrike. I can’t sing her praises enough.
