The Everglades Adventure Day is a wonderful way to spend a day with family and friends...and you don't have to be a tourist to enjoy it. The pace is perfect, the lunch is marvelous and the boat ride at the day's end is an endlessly wonderful finale. Let me put it to you like this...you haven't lived until you've watched a run of mullet or seen dolphin break the surface of the water or seen hundreds of pelicans turn an islet white as snow. And our guide Zac? The best of the best! Can't wait to do it all again!

After a week long cruise in the Carribean we extended our holiday from England by two days to see the Everglades. The full day trip we chose did not disappoint; it was very enjoyable and informative. We will recommend it to our friends. Many thanks Julio.

After the airboat ride, I thought I could go home happy - but the day just got better and better. Julio was a great guide, very knowledgeable and helpful. We saw lots of wildlife, including gators, dolphins and lots of birds (including a couple of life birds!), and thoroughly enjoyed our day. It's true you could do these activities on our own but it was worth every penny to have a guide with a science background, and to not have to do the driving! Highly recommended.
