Excellent tour. We got picked up at our hotel, right on time. Our first stop was an airboat tour, Moscow tribe. Traveled to chichis and saw a few small alligators and kits of birds. Then we had a great lunch (Joanne's Blue Crab” and we're off to a skiff where we toured the everglades park and saw a lot of dolphins. It ended with a “wet” walk which u are in at least ankle deep water and sometimes knee high water. I recommend water shoes that do t co.e off and shorts that u can hike up when u need to. It was a great time, we saw lots of small gators, orchids, air plants, storks and a variety of other birds and plants.

Princess and I were picked up in Everglades City by our guide Abigail from Wild Lime and headed out for our wet walk. Princess was certain she was going to be eaten by a gator or bitten by a snake, but Abby was able to convince her there was nothing to worry about. The water was surprisingly clear and mid thigh at the deepest. It wasn't muddy and we felt safe the whole time thanks to Abby. We learned about birds and plants that we saw along the way. It was a great time and I was surprised when Princess told me it was her favorite part of the day, since she was real nervous about walking through the swamp. After the wet walk we stopped at several areas looking for a Crocodile, Alligators, and Manatees, where we also saw a lot of fish and a huge soft shell turtle that must have been 3 foot around. On the way to our first boat ride we toured Ted Smallwood's Trading Post. Very interesting and glad we went through it. Lunch was provided at Joanies Blue Crab Cafe and was good enough that Princess and I went back later. We also went for two boat rides. The first was out in the ten thousand islands. There were tons of different birds including white pelicans and had a pod of dolphins playing in our wake. The second was on a fan boat out in the river of Grasses, where we stopped on an island that members of the Tiger Tail family lived on until somewhat recently. Neither Princess nor I can imagine how people lived out there. Princess wouldn't make it and sadly, i probably wouldn't either. Here we were introduced to a huge mama gator. The air boat ride was fun and smooth like riding in a Cadillac. Abby was amazing! She loves what she does and it shows. She was very engaging and knowledgeable. It is a bit pricey, but if you can afford it, do yourself a favor and go. This was one of the best days Princess and I have had together.

We were picked from our guide on time and were met with smile. Enoch our guide was very engaging during our journey to meet up with others for the Everglades fan boat tour. This was an awesome experience from the actual boat ride to seeing alligators in the wild ( especially mama- a large female alligator we saw). Our journey then took us for a lunch at a local vetted restaurant ( so nice to see the support of local businesses and not large chains). We then ended up at our next adventure. A boat ride to 10000 islands where we saw beautiful scenery and had a nice relaxing boat ride. We were not as fortunate as the other boats as they had Dolphins swimming behind them in their wake ( saw video) We then proceeded from there to a location for a nature walk with two naturalist ( Armando and Enoch) They tag teamed to make our experience that much more better. Armando finished with a speech with a heart felt speech about becoming ng in nature as one and living the moment. This especially reached home as a lady in our group was ill and dying. You would not have known by her joy for the life she was living at that moment. Wish her all the best for her remaining time. When then all said our good byes and departed to our original locations ( a great group of individuals we met which enhanced our experience). Enoch then drove us back to our hotel. Would recommend this tour 100%
