Had a great time on this excursion. Saw tons of wildlife… more alligators than I can count and dolphins closer than I could imagine. Highly recommend!

Reza was awesome!!! He took care of us all day and provided so much information about the area. The information was the good things about the area, the mistakes made in the past and the future of the area. We saw lots of wildlife had an amazing lunch and terrific day. I can’t say enough good things about this trip. I would definitely recommend this day trip for anyone looking to get to know southern Florida, the local ecosystem and get your best opportunity to see birds, reptiles, fish, alligators, dolphins, potential sightings of stingrays, sharks, manatees and more.

Reza was awesome. Very knowledgeable about the everglades, the history, plant life, animals.etc. very friendly and helpful. The captains of the boat rides did not disappoint. Loved the air boat ride. Saw plenty of alligators, many species of birds, and learned about the natives. Enjoyed hanging out with the dolphins and watching them surf. Would highly recommend.
