What a very interesting day! Marc, our guide, was so knowledgeable and full of energy all day. We saw all kinds of wildlife including alligators, lots of different birds, dolphins, etc. Really well worth the money!

Julio was fantastic! He kept us comfortable, safe, and informed throughout the whole day. The tour never felt rushed and the small group size meant there was plenty of time to ask questions and to enjoy the day at the groups pace. Highly recommend!!!

Great trip. Many great stops. Really liked the boat ride with the dolphins. Having a guide who is so knowledgeable was a huge plus, made the trip a learning experience besides being an all around good time

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!

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.

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.
