Heidi was our over all guide and her enthusiasm about the Everglade world, to say nothing about her encyclopedic knowledge, made for a most enjoyable and informative trip. In the swamp ride, my guests were delighted to see the many alligators. Since I'm from the area, I took my time to enjoy the pond apple trees that were magnificent. The boat driver in the swamps got a kick out of circling around when he found a graceful stilt or bittern. On the trail, we got to see native flora plus a remarkable owl staring close by, staring right at us. The boat driver on the lake was happy to take us around and able to answer the most obtuse questions. And if that's not enough, I'd travel back to Everglade City like none other "city" I've ever seen, just to enjoy the freshest grouper that ever jumped into my plate! I'm relieved that I found an elegant trip of the Everglades to share with my guests and that we had Heidi, a real naturalist and fine companion all day!
