I highly recommend this trip. If you have the chance to visit the Everglades during December, DO IT! At this time of year, we were able to see an abundance of wildlife...alligators, many species of birds, dolphins, all types of fish...some snakes too. Something for everyone! I really liked the variety of activities...can ride with our guide, Julio, who shared his wealth of knowledge and clear passion for the environment with us. Then, we did an airboat ride...a must do experience!!! We saw many alligators and birds. The scenery is like we were on a different planet! Truly. The guide stopped whenever we wanted to take pictures and he was hilarious. THEN, there was a quick demonstration with huge alligators. THEN, we had the opportunity to hold Snappy, a baby turtle. I did it and was so happy!!! We then went on a short hike...on a walkway...and learned about invasive species...and saw a baby alligator and some snakes. After that, it was off to try and see manatees but no luck. Oh well...the scenery was amazing. Lunch...which you preorder when you are picked up...was ready and delicious. We sat right on the water. Price of lunch is included...unless you want beer! We ended our day in the Gulf side of the Everglades...boat ride! We saw dolphins, rare fish, and many birds. Great day! Julio is amazing. He knows so much about this area and is very personable. The small group allowed us to get up know each other. Oh!!! PLEASE be on time as a courtesy to your driver and other guests. Julio was very nice and waited a long time for a lost guest. It was nice of him but rude of the person to do that.

Our guide Rhett was fantastic. He was friendly and informative. We saw so many different animals: a bobcat, dolphins, manatees, many different species of birds and more alligators than we could count. Both boat rides were great with informative guides.

What a great day. Our guide Ben did a spectacular job. I learned so much about the history & ecology of the area. Ben's manner was laid back & easy going all the while teaching us a lot. He has an incredable eye for spotting wildlife. I got 9 new birds for my life list. The air boat ride was soooo much fun I could have stayed on for hours. This is an adventure not to be missed.
