Excellent way to see the man made canal from Flamingo leading to a small lake and then the contrast of a natural waterway that leads from there to the enormous lake / waterway that can be navigated all the way to near Naples - with a canoe ( many days). So much wildlife - mainly birds but plenty of alligators and a couple of crocodiles. Out guide was fabulous - really clear commentary and good at spotting the wildlife before anyone else and alerting us. Boat chugs along nice and slow on way out but fairly fast on return. Seemed very good value compared to some of the more adrenaline driven tours. I donāt think this was a national park ranger led tour, but the quality and knowledge of the guide was just as good.
