Booked this trip through our time share and got a $20 per ticket discount. EcoSafari picked us up right on time in a very comfortable van. We were a family of 4 and our whole group was about 10 people. Our guide, Julio, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and even got our teens engaged. All the stops were enjoyable,but our favorite by far was the last boat ride through the 10,000 Islands part of the Everglades. We saw many new birds we hadn’t seen on previous tours, our guide spotted saw fish, and dolphins came and played alongside our boat! I only wish we’d had a better idea of what to tip the captains of the air boat and boat cruise at the end, since they clearly depend on tips from tourists as part of their income.

Excellently organised, was picked up at hotel. Informative amusing guides Zak and Julio, very knowledgeable about wildlife and with palpable concern and love for the environment. Saw many 'gators, iguanas and many types of birds. On the boat trip we saw lots of dolphins which swam alongside and behind the boat and wait for it - we saw sawfish! Amazing experience, also comfortable van and lovely lunch. If you only do one tour do this one
