Our guide (Bushman Mark Quinn) was very knowledgeable about the animals we saw, particularly the birds (of which we saw and identified more than 65 different species during the day) and his enthusiasm and guidance had us looking about and identifying those we saw throughout the rest of our stay in Southwest Florida and even now back home! The combination of an airboat tour in alligator country, a walk through the cypress swamps, and boat trip out among the islands in the Everglades National Park gave us the opportunity to see a wide variety of wildlife which was a highlight of our entire trip. It was a full day and we felt we were in very good hands. It was safe, clean and well-thought through for a day's activity. Mark went out of his way to ensure that we got to see everything we had wanted to and had an easygoing yet competent manner. If you only have one day to see a great cross-section of the natural world in Southwest Florida, this is a great way to do it!

Every part was memorable but our favorite part, along with the amazing wildlife we saw, was our tour guide, Mark Hamilton "Bushman" Quinn. He was so exceptionally knowledgeable and incredibly entertaining. The entire tour was fantastic from the airboat ride to the nature hike and the boat tour. It was fantastic!

Our day long tour of the Everglades was one of the best we have been on!! Not only was it a full day of hiking, pontooning in the Thousand Lakes area, air boating seeing gators galore and a great lunch, but the in-depth knowledge that was shared by our guide, Mark, on topography, birds, alligators, history, etc. was outstanding. It made our take-away so long lasting. Our knowledge of the Everglades has increased ten-fold.
