We had a magic day with Ben! Being off season we managed to negotiate with the owner a price where we could go on the trip with my daughter and I by ourselves. He knew we came from Denver and really wanted to go on the trip. It was absolutely worth it. Ben’s knowledge of the eco system general knowledge of the locale and passion for the environment like us Kiwis, was divine. We loved the varied nature of the day with the boat rides and nature walks. The boat rides were a highlight as well as meeting some lovely people along the way and lunch! The transport was very comfortable and modern. The owner clearly is investing in his people and gear. I will go on this trip again with the rest of my family. Thanks Ben for a wonderful day!

It was worth ever penny! Our guide was phenomenal because of his enthusiasm, knowledge of the ecosystem, and his sense of humor. We covered over 200+ miles and enjoyed learning about this area, the people, the watershed, and the animal life. He was pleasant, fun, and answered all of our questions. Ben was also fairly handsome (before his accident)!

Yesterday we went on the full day trip of the Everglades. From the moment I booked and then needed to change the date and was greeted with 'no problem we can do that' I knew this was a company that focused on the customer's experience. What I don't know until yesterday was just how good they would be ... it was FAB. Our guide (Adam) was knowledgable and passionate about the Everglades. He shared stories that the children enjoyed listening to, as it brought to life the history, environment, wildlife, ecology they were seeing. To travel through the Everglades from North to South was special as we saw very different environments and consequently alligators, turtles, dolphins, manatee, snakes, 20+ varieties of birds. Lunch was a wide selection of choices and good quality. The bus was cool and comfortable and this was important as we travelled 280+km in the bus, so you're in it for quite some time, but only ever for a max 1hr. A HUGE THANKS FOR A GREAT MEMORY!
