a great and educational experience

A well-organized trip, with two boat rides (one in the glades and one in the gulf) a hike, and a great lunch. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and caring; makes sure you get your eyeful of gators and herons!

TERRIFIC! It's a long day, lots of driving, but it was the highlight of our trip. My 8 year old son absolutely loved it. he is a super animal nerd and Adam, our guide, was very enthusiastic especially about birds. By the end of the day my whole family was pointing out birds and identifying them. It was a great way to start our florida trip as we spent the rest of the week identifying the many avian species around us! It was also a more comprehensive overview of the everglades than we would have gotten by just going on a 1 hr air boat ride. We learned about the various ecosystem of the Everglades and had a greater appreciation for the national park itself (not just the alligators). Suffice it to say the airboat ride was the LEAST exciting part of the day! Regarding alligators we saw at least 30, many up close. Luckily Adam took us to a place called oasis as we had extra time, and there we saw at least 20 there. We were lucky enough to only have 4 people on our group. Highly recommend!

Great way to see the Everglades!

Our first time in Fort Lauderdale. We went in a couple of days early before our cruise. We wanted to see the Everglades. We had a great day. Communication from the owner was quick and easy. Guides were knowledgeable, friendly and interesting. Boats and cars in great condition. Lunch was good and plentiful. Would highly recommend!
