Wow! What a great day! Reza our guide for the day was great, he really looked after everyone and provided some really interesting facts about the Everglades, animals and the history. We saw so many Gators! 4 on the airboat ride alone and one so close you could have touched it, if you were mad! Lots more throughout the day. Reza explained the 3 different habitats, sea of grass, cypress forest and mangrove. We had time at each to see the wildlife The boat ride in the mangroves was so good, we saw a pod or two of dolphins about 6 or 7 in total and when two rode the wake of the boat it was brilliant, again they were so close. Like I said a fabulous day! Ps lunch was good too!

A thorough visit of the vast Everglades with lots of information, lots of animals and airboat and small outboard motor boat to see everything. Lunch included (you pick from the menu in the morning; it’s ready at lunch time). Really wonderful
