Hi Connie, I appreciate the feedback and it gave me an opportunity to review what is listed on the website and what we do (and did that day). It's unfortunate that our tour did not live up to your expectations but I can say with confidence that we did the airboat tour, the wildlife drive in Big Cypress National Preserve, the nature walk in Fakahatchee Strand State Park and the mangrove wilderness boat tour in Everglades National Park. Florida's State Parks are the best in the United States and I don't know anyone who considers the National Park or Preserve run down. It's certainly subjective but I take great pride in the places we visit on our tour. I'm glad you enjoyed the van ride and again thank you for the feedback.

This was an entertaining and educational day! Traveled all over Flordia. Our guide was great and we got to see all kinds of wildlife! I would highly recommend!! Bring something to drink and possibly a snack. You will also want to make sure you have cash to tip your guide throughout the day.

Fantastic! A day full of adventure with our tour guide Mark. We visited three areas in the Everglades, including a walking trail with alligators and beautiful flora. On our airboat tour we saw so many alligators and over 50 different species of birds. We stopped to enjoy lunch and ended the tour in the Everglade banks near the Gulf of Mexico and met a group of friendly and playful dolphins...one jumping and playful in our boat wake; amazing. I highly recommend Everglades Adventure Day Trip and tour guide Mark Quinn!!
