This has to be the best and most informative day trip to the Everglades. Our guide Adam was excellent, he showed us every Eco system and took us to places to spot rare birds and pointed just about every type of plant in the park and told us how the Native Americans used various plants. One the cruise we enjoyed watching large pods of dolphin feeding on fish. The airboat took us up close to alligators and birds. Highly recommend this day trip to anyone.

Adam is the best tour guide I've ever had and I am 73 years old and have traveled the world. His knowledge and passion for the Everglade's flora and fauna as well as his kind, sensitive people skills made the 10 hour day a joy for all 13 of us in the van. No one fell asleep. Everyone learned to respect the beauty and fragility of the glades. -Peggy Moroney, Tempe, Arizona

The tour was excellent. Our guide was the very best!. I definitely recommend the whole day tour, including our guide and those that captained the airboat and the pontoon boat. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The tour went extremely smoothly. Lunch was very good and enjoyable as well. We enjoyed the multitude of wildlife we saw including alligators, dolphins, and birds.
