There was a lot to cover on this day trip. I will mention what I can remember. Our naturalist, who was from Boston, was great! A real environmentalist and able to instruct us. It wasn't hot when we went so we needed No DEET but I could only imagine that going into the forest we would get mosquito bites more than the 5 we got in January. You were able to take very nice wildlife and waterfowl pictures along the way. There are a Lot of alligators on the tour! There were a few legs of this trip and each were informative parts that tell the story of Florida's beginnings. The airboat ride was very fun! I highly recommend this tour if you want to know All about Florida's history and environmental past. Love to get close to nature and get great pictures of Many bird species.

We really enjoyed the experience. The airboat ride was great, we saw a lot of wildlife birds, alligators. The walk was a bit of a challenge due to the heat and the mosquitos. In the afternoon we enjoyed a ride in the ocean, where we saw dolphins, horseshoecrabs and manatees.Annie, our guide was very knowledgeable.

Our tour guide was young and very knowledgeable about the animals, fauna and area. We would do again in a heartbeat. Excellent time to see many alligator's, dolphins, variety of birds and nice scenery. Nice to have a smaller group to hear and ease of keeping the pace.
