I am so happy that I decided to do this tour. I was nervous because in the past, I’ve found tours to be a bit boring. However, during the whole day, not one minute felt that way. It was definitely worth the money. The Van is nice and clean and the excursions were a lot of fun! We saw more wildlife than I was anticipating, which was fabulous! Our tour guide Karl was a wealth of (interesting) information and very funny. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. All in all, I would highly recommend this trip!

We had an amazing tour guide Karl! Very informative. Air boat was a lot of fun, Manny was the captain of the air boat, very informative. The hour boat was great saw lots of wildlife, the dolphins even came up to the boat and were jumping right beside us. The lunch was very good. Karl was the best, he really made it fun and actually cared that we had a good time. Answered questions without hesitation. Kept everyone engaged and looking at wildlife, alligators, and many species of birds. We would highly recommend this tour. It had lot of variety. Something for everyone! It was a 9 hour or so tour, but seemed like it was only a hour. Went by really fast. Enjoyed everything about it!
