We did the Everglades Day Safari from Miami with Mark. Mark was WONDERFUL. I initially hesitated due to the price, but you really get an expert guide and a comprehensive view of the Everglades. It was so worth it! Schedule Morning: Everglades airboat ride (we saw alligators and birds), walk through Big Cypress National Preserve (saw alligator and birds) Lunch around 1 pm Afterlunch: Mangrove wilderness boat cruise (saw dolphins and birds).

Had a brilliant day with Marc our guide. Pick up ran very smoothly with transport arriving on time. Vehicle was comfortable and Marc explained what the day was going to be. Everything about the day didn’t disappoint from the airboat ride to the visit to the little museum. We had issues with our taxi back to our hotel and Marc even stayed with us until transport was confirmed. He is a credit to the company, very knowledgeable and approachable answering any and ever question. Would highly recommend.

Julio was our guide and driver, he was fantastic. Very informative. The pontoon boat excursion was our favorite, we saw dolphins and our boat operator had them playing in the wake of our boat, it was amazing to see. He was also very informative about the ten-thousand islands area and the wildlife and history. The air boat ride was slot of fun, we saw alligators, turtles, and birds. I would suggest this excursion, it was a long day but it allowed us to see everything related to the Everglades that we wanted to see in just one day.
