My daughter and I went to spend a day from all the parks and busy city. Our guide, Guy, was so wonderful. He was knowledgeable on the wildlife we encountered and the habitat. He was attentive and took time to answer questions. It was such a great time away from the busy attractions. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for something different from the usual orlando experiences, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Asking for Guy. He was absolutely amazing... Thank you, Guy.

What an amazing experience! Our guide, Gina, was incredible. Not only was she very knowledgeable, she was also very friendly and went the extra mile to ensure that we had a great time. We saw all kinds of local wildlife including manatees, alligators, turtles, fish and many different kinds of birds, can't wait to do it again!
