Don't hesitate to book this trip - it is worth every penny. My husband and I are scientists and have done many wildlife/nature trips all over the continent, and the naturalists leading the tours usually range from meh to pretty good. This tour was exceptional, and our guide Rhett made it absolutely incredible with his knowledge, experience, and sense of adventure. He's a true animal nerd and we instantly felt relaxed and confident that we would learn and see a lot on the trip. He did not disappoint - we saw more than 50 species of birds, 5-10 species of turtles, and countless plant species. In terms of accessibility on this trip, Rhett was really good about telling us where restrooms were, what to expect, etc. I appreciate that a lot!

Heidi was our guide. She had encyclopedic knowledge, was very engaging, and the trip included all I wanted to see and experience.

Everything about the trip was fantastic. The guide., Rhett, was knowledgeable and organized. The boat rides gave us close up video views of flora and fauna. The bird life was amazing, as was seeing gators very close. What wonderful lunch. The only downside was there was no pickup spot in Naples.
