What a wonderful experience! Zak was a great tour guide and so knowledgeable about all wildlife, you can tell he loves what he does. We have been to Florida many times but never went to the Everglades, I will do this again. The boat rides were great and I loved the nature walk. It was a great day overall and I highly recommend this activity.

Every part was unique, fun and educational. The boat tour around the mangrove islands was perfect! We saw a pod of dolphins and stopped off on an amazing beach on one of the islands. The airboat tour was fun and exhilarating. The nature walk and narrated drive time went by almost too fast. Zak was a remarkably knowledgeable and comedic host/guide. 10 out of 10 would recommend this experience.

Thank you for the excellent review. I'm glad you had time to visit the island. It's an amazing spot in the vast wilderness of the Everglades. And thank you for mentioning Zak. He's great and our guides make all the difference.

The cruise was the best part of the trip! We had dolphins jumping and following our boats! Our tour guide Zak was a fun company and a host. He seemed very knowledgeable about the Everglades ecosystem.
