Great tour with multiple activities for all ages. - Wonderful tour. It was a long day but broken into parts making it very enjoyable. I enjoyed every part of the trip learning about Florida landscape, birds and animals, both land and sea. The lunch had a very good selection of food of which I could have chosen a couple of different options. Really enjoyed and would recommend for all ages.

Good learning experience - Our day long Everglades adventure tour with Day Safari couldn't have been better. There were only 5 in our group so we had our individual questions answered by our knowledgeable naturalist guide, Julio. We learned so much about the animals and plants in the Everglades that we felt we were on a Road Scholar trip. We saw more than 50 alligators, 19 species of birds, 16 manatees and even 2 dolphins. Our trip included lunch at a local restaurant which was delicious (I had the blackened grouper sandwich basket, but there were many choices). Our tour was a very good way to experience the Everglades.

Day safari - We enjoyed the entire day with Rachel. She was very knowledgeable on the birds, reptiles and the area. Started with a loverly walk/hike where there were many different birds and some alligators. The boat ride around the mangroves was interesting. Lunch was very good, with a wide selection. Finishing with the airboat ride, where the alligators were numerous.

Eco tour - Awesome tour! The tour is worth the cost as the tour group is small which is nice. The length of the tour is a full day, but again worth the time!

Great Well-Organized Day Trip - Our guide and the other guests were great birders and that made the trip more interesting. We saw so many birds, including some rare ones. And I never expected to see so many alligators! It was a very well-organized and nicely-paced trip. Recommend it!
