Our flight didn't leave until the evening, so we needed something besides sitting at the airport to do. We decided to try this excursion out. Our guide/driver picked us up at Port Everglades in a comfy, air conditioned van and drove us to the everglades. He was very knowledgeable and shared the area's historical/ interesting tidbits of information with us. We did the A.M. hour boat ride which included two photos- one before and one with the baby alligator. The boat guide was also very knowledgeable and pointed out different species of birds, iguana and alligators. We did see a young female alligator (6ft.). The guide was helpful because he'd swing the boat around so all could see.
