Great experience. Probably the favorite thing we did. The airboat tour was the best part, the cypress swamp was cool but didn't see much, and the skiff trip was interesting also. Heidi our guide was very interesting and knowledgeable.

First trip to Everglades & had no idea where to go. We chose this day long excursion out of Fort Myers. Pickup at hotel was prompt. Our wonderful tour guide, Heidi, was so smart & full of tons of local knowledge. She kept us informed while on our drive down of all the different palm trees & things to view. Such a wealth of knowledge! She also listened to us & what may be of interest to us during the day. Our first stop was the airboat ride. We enjoyed that & did see some gators. Pretty birds on the store porch there. Next was nature walk. Heidi was great to point out things we surely would have missed. Then we had lunch at a cute little diner along the way. It was perfectly timed as we were hungry & tired & needed a break. Next was the boat trip to 10,000 islands. Tristan, our boat captain, was equally as awesome as Heidi. He explained the history there & his stories were so interesting. We’d really like to go back there & spend more time. The islands were beautiful & boat ride was so fun. Overall, just a great day & experience. Special shout-out to Heidi. She was wonderful!!
