Our family of four had an unforgettable time on our nature tour with Abigail! We saw and learned a ton about the different habitats of the Everglades. Abigail was a great guide: knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to spend the day with. The two boat rides were a real highlight: alligators, dolphins, and more birds than I remember. The hikes helped to connect the dots and make us understand the broader Everglades ecosystem. This was a great way to spend the day and see more of Florida than just beaches and amusement parks. I highly recommend it!

This trip is a must-do for anyone on or near Marco Island, and was truly a highlight for our family. We had a group of six family members ranging from age 8 to 70. Everyone had an amazing experience and learned so much. Abigail, our guide, was outstanding. She was knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic. Her communication style is clear and engaging - her passion for conservation and the beauty of southwest Florida was contagious. The airboat ride was a highlight - we had a close encounter with two alligators, many birds, and fish. The boat tour of the 10,000 islands was another great experience- we saw dolphins and were able to explore one of the islands. We also enjoyed the nature walk. The pace of the trip was great - lots of stops, plenty of food, and a very comfortable van. Five stars for the quality of the trip and five stars for Abigail. Highly recommend this trip!
