What To Expect

Big Cypress National Preserve

Me and my family are 6th generation "Gladesmen" and we'd love to show you the Big Cypess National Preserve. This is the largest subtropical swamp in the USA, where plants and animals grow and live no where else in the world. See the elusive Panther, black bear, wading birds, deer, its a photo opportunity of a life time!

This was such a fun tour! I had really hoped to see a bear or Florida panther, but they were not to be found that day. We did see Alligators and while both were very informative about the area and the creatures within, Ashley was awesome in sharing her knowledge of the gators. We all felt at home and comfortable asking questions. I take a lot of photos and Ashley also does so she showed me a couple things she does to get some great pics as well. We saw birds, a deer and many alligators on our tour. So many things were pointed out and it was overall a wonderful and educational experience. Thank you to both for making it so enjoyable!!

Swamp buggy tour on big cypress preserve. Far out into the Everglades and in the middle of no where. Very educational but not a ton a wildlife. The guides do try and make the best out of it by taking photos of your party etc.

Adam was our Guide and frankly who saved the day. One person in our party couldn't find the venue & because there was no cell or gps signal drove away far enough to call Capt Steve who seemed very annoyed with her. The Good Ol' Captain was committed to be our Guide & was a no show. He sent Adam in his place. Upon arrival the Buggy engine died & it took quite a while, Adam's crafty mechanics & help from our Group to get it started. Not how you want to start a tour.... The Everglades are beautiful, a Swamp Buggy Tour provides access to otherwise unreachable areas & our Group would do it again. I left feeling that the Hype for this Outfitter was outdated for lack of attention like his vehicles. We enjoyed ourselves, Adam was knowledgeable about the area, it's a specific cut out trail up & back shared by all of them. We took the afternoon tour, the Sunset was beyond majestic & heading back in the dark added to our experience. We got a late start so Adam was considerate & extended our experience. The 1 working headlight gave out too by the way so part of the return was in the pitch of night by moonlight... Adam 5 Stars, but we're not Reviewing Adam, albeit he's the only justification to give the Outfitter even 3 Stars.... We'll try a different Co if there's a next time.
