My wife, 11 year old daughter and I spent the day with Don doing the cypress dome slog, and kayaking on nine mile pond and in Florida Bay. About 9 hours all together. Don is a PhD, biologist specializing in herpetology, so we were in good hands for learning about the Everglades environment, and seeing a water moccasin and a brown snake up close, as well as alligators, tree frogs, epiphytes, and myriad birds. It was an exceptional day, one the entire family agrees was a highlight of our Florida trip (and we did a lot). Especially the cypress dome environment, it's a unique place you wouldn't likely experience any other way. The price seemed a bit high out front, but for the experience, and the cost per hour, it was well worth it.
