Tremendous variety. Each experience was unique and worth every penny. Excellent narration, highly informative. Jason did an outstanding job educating us on the animals, vegetation, history and ecology of the region. A wonderful experience of all the Everglades has to offer. I would highly recommend for anyone from child to adult. There was something for everyone and we were fortunate to see such a variety of animals (alligators, dolphins, manatees, bald eagles, numerous indigenous birds) during the day.

There were two parts to the trip. The first part was a 1 & 1/2 mile walk through a nature wilderness. It was very boring. Not much to see. We certainly could have done without this part of the trip. The second part was an Air Boat ride. It was great. I would have paid the entire amount just to take the airboat ride. I later found out you can just do the air boat ride by itself. That is the best way to go.

Hi Richard, I'm sorry you were disappointed in the nature walk. Most people find the walk with the biologist educational and fun. There are 40 different airboat companies that offer just an airboat ride but we do a safari that includes the nature walk, reptile presentation and the airboat ride and what sets our airboat ride apart from others is we offer the networked headsets that quiet the airboat and allow guests to hear the narration from the biologist guide. That's not something offered on tours that do just the airboat ride. Either way I appreciate your feedback.

The family had a great time and learned a lot. They say it was one of the high points of the trip. They saw lots of birds and even more alligators. It’s definitely worth your time to go.
