Our family did a full day tour with Abigail. She was incredible!! So knowledgeable and personable! We learned so much! I was hesitant to spend the money but it was more than worth it! We are now sitting at dinner after the day raving about her and the incredible day we had. We also had dolphins follow us in the wake of a boat for about 20 minutes! Experience of a lifetime!

Abigail was our incredible guide. She was a positive, passionate, incredible marine biologist that excitedly shared her wealth of knowledge about the flora, fauna, culture, history, developments, attributes, future of the Everglades! We learned so much and the day flew by. She pointed out things we would have never seen on our own adventure. She brought it all to life and then entrusted us to become advocates for the Everglades!

We took the tour today with Abigail as our tour leader. We thoroughly enjoyed the all day tour. The airboat ride was exceptional! We saw lots of alligators and birds! At the Reid Center board walk we saw snakes and learned a great deal about the different trees and vegetation, including their different needs for water. Abigail is very knowledgeable and has a great way of communicating the knowledge in a fun and active manner; very passionate about her work. We saw manatees at one stop and dolphins chased our boat during our tour of the thousand islands area. Gary our boat captain of the island tour was also very knowledgeable of the area as he was born and raised on the water. Abigail did an excellent job of educating each of us on the need to protect this special place here in southwest Florida. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see animals in their natural habitat!
