What a wonderful day! Our tour guide, Adam, was exceptional and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. He was so knowledgeable and just filled us with information. A special thanks to him for making a great day even better. Saw lots of birds, alligators and turtles! Wonderful! Pat and Jo

This was a fabulous tour. We learned so much. We saw lots of wildlife. The airboat ride was fantastic. The guide was extremely knowledgeable. This is one of the best tours we have been on.

Guide was knowledgeable and more importantly, inspired by the natural facets of S. Florida he was showing us. One oddity: I am extremely scientific-minded. The only other guests on this tour, a young couple, had their own topics to discuss between them during much of the tour. Hence, the guide (I've already managed to forget the name, although it may have been Andy, Alex, Adam, or another "A" name) was frequently and needlessly more or less lecturing me about how natural selection works. Nevertheless, I liked this guy and were I to actually move to that area, he would be of the type I would seek friendship with, we both sharing immense respect for and interest in nature.

The part of the day during which we were on a large pontoon boat and able to view many dolphins was the most valuable to me. I had already completed numerous hikes-Corkscrew Swamp, Crews lands, 6 Mile Cypress Slough, Calusa Nature Preserve, Barefoot Beach, and Lover's Key, hence the relatively more brief walk that was a part of this day was good, but not exceptional, for me. The airboat was fun and I'd always wanted to ride one of those, but the dolphins stole the show! All in all, well worth the time and $$.
