Our tour guide, Rhett, was very knowledgeable about the environment. We appreciated his enthusiasm in sharing his knowledge with us on the nature walk and on the airboat ride. The airboat ride was a fun experience.

Our tour guide, Mark, was extremely knowledgeable not only about the Everglades and Cypress Preserve but literally the entire Fort Lauderdale area, including his vast knowledge of the wildlife! The van was very comfortable which was good because we were on it all day. We learned way more about the history of this area on this tour than we would have if booked separately. The history of how this wonderful area developed and how it’s now preserved was very interesting. The lunch at Triad Seafood Cafe & market was great! The only thing a little misleading was the website says the boat tour to 10K islands is 90min and it was only 60min. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone not from this area.

Hi Carrie, I appreciate the feedback and the many kids words about our tour. Anything less than a 5-star review is a failure on our part but the reason for the difference in the 10,000 islands boat tour, as explained over the phone, is the Everglades National Park’s facility was destroyed by the hurricane and we are hoping to get back there by December when they have temporary facilities brought in. Instead of the 42 passenger boat ride we are taking a 6-passenger, 60-minute boat ride was gets us to all the same places. We also include the historic Smallwood Store Museum in this package. I’m regret we did not live up to your expectations.

We were unable to go on the Adventure Tour last minute, however my experience in communicating with the operator was great and so is the customer service. Will definitely be back for the tour!
