Great Times Lots of Birds - This company operates like human beings rather than just "reading a script." This is a compliment! It is rare and appreciated. An issue came up, and the owner Pete took care of us quickly and we were still able to go on the tour because of his flexibility. Mo was our tour guide, and she is fantastic. She is full of knowledge, clearly cares for the ecosystems of the Everglades, and pointed out a variety of birds and lizards to us. We had a great time, and as a photographer, I was able to capture some great shots.

Really great trip! All... - Really great trip! All guides were extremely knowledgeable. The food was mediocre but the activities were great. On the boat ride we saw dolphins and different types of birds. Saw several gators on the airboat ride. We did do a little bit of a hike so make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes.

Amazing - It was absolutely amazing! The guide was beyond words amazing! He pulled over when he saw an animal and let us take pictures and gave details about it life and habitat.

Great day expedition near Fort Myers - The guide and the tour were great! We got to see many birds, alligators, dolphins, a manatee. I like the small group size and all the history of the area that we learned during the tour.

Worth every penny! - We had a wonderful time from start to finish! Our guide Rachel was very knowledgeable and friendly. The trip is well organized and a very reasonable price for all that is offered (pickup from hotel, lunch, park walk, two boat rides, and transport back). 10/10 recommend!

Never to be forgotten wildlife experience with amazing guides - What an amazing experience. Our guide Julio was lovely, hugely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and could not have made the trip more interesting. Sadly we went just before start of rainy season so access via the airboat was limited, but the mangrove boat trip was one of best experiences I’ve ever had with our wonderful captain Gary who had lived his whole life By the mangrove forest and it showed. Amazing dolphin experience chasing the surf behind the boat will never be forgotten and Roseate Spoonbills were beautiful. Thank you so much Julio and Gary for an unforgettable experience. Book it now if you’re reading this and in 2 minds!

Enjoyable day - Both the boat ride and the airboat tours were good, although a little pricey. I’ve been to Florida many times. I’ve NEVER seen so many wild alligators in one area. They were everywhere! Tons of birds. Our tour guide Mo was very knowledgeable. We’ve been on many day long tours all across the world. Almost all bring water for their guests. I’d suggest that. All in all, this tour was a 4 out of 5 and worthwhile.
