We did the full day Everglades adventure on August 13th with Jeff as our guide. Started off slogging to 2 gator holes. Spent 4-5 hours kayaking down the coast and finished up with a night walk. Saw several snakes, a big Barred owl, many alligators, ospreys, white pelicans, spoonbills, a school of sawfish, sharks, manatees, a bald eagle, skimmers, and other species as well. We started with check in at noon and didn't finish until around ten o'clock. You can see a lot more with a trained guide that knows the park well versus going it on your own. They provide the bug suits and water shoes but you will still need to load up on bug spray as I still took home several bug bites. We packed a lunch and they provided coolers to keep things cold but you can bring your own as well. It was a great day and I would highly recommend this tour.
