What a wonderful day from start to finish. Mark was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable, welcoming and he really made the Everglades come alive for us. The airboat ride was fun and we got to see an alligator and learn about the native tribes history from the captain. On the wildlife drive and walk we saw a number of different birds another alligator and a whole bundle of baby alligators ! We learned a lot about the area and the trees and plant life. Mark knew where to take us to increase the chances of seeing the wildlife. Lunch was tasty and they a had a few veggie options. The boat ride was great again the captain was very knowledgeable and we saw dolphins, and a bald eagle being chased by an osprey! Just a great experience from start to finish. It is a long day and I’d advise to bring a few bottles of water but the bus is comfortable and Mark made sure we made stops for comfort breaks when needed. Highly recommend this tour, there’s nothing like seeing animals in their natural habit.

Well worth a day trip. Very knowledgeable well informed and articulate guides. We visited 3 different ecosystems -Everglades wetland “prairie”, Bald Cypress swamp forest a d mangroves out towards the Gulf of Mexico - coast to coast. We saw some amazing wildlife and learned a lot about everything. We thoroughly enjoyed the package. Value for money!
