An great tour of Big Cypress Preserve - My wife and I did the trip this afternoon with Captain Daniel. The trip was a lot of fun. Lots to see and Daniel was great to stop and point out interesting things we would have missed. He grew up in the area and knows much about the area and people. An adventure worth taking.

This is the buggy tour you are looking for! - Capt. Daniel was amazing. Super friendly, informative, full of stories from a lifetime in the area and loving nature. No rush; we were able to stop as often as we wanted and even get out and explore a bit with a hearty dose of "there's nothing out here that wants to go out of its way hurt you" encouragement. Can't wait to come back for our next tour with Capt. Daniel!

Research before your spend! - SUPPORT LOCALS! Some of the tourist attractions in town aren’t locally owned and operated anymore. We almost did the airboat tour today, but ran into Capt Steve, last min and changed our plan to the swamp buggy. Glad we were able to have such a private first hand look at the Everglades. This is a must-see if you’re looking for a taste of what this area use to look like from someone born and raised. Capt Sherald kept the excursion so fun for us! Bring whatever drinks and snacks you want, water is provided in a shared cooler. Tour is approximately 3-4 hours, would recommend a long sleeve you can take on and off.

Great tour on a Swamp Buggy 😀 - Captain Daniels was such an amazong guide.
When we met him it was so fun from the beginning and we felt secure with him. 🙌
He told us so many information about the nature and wildlife and we had so good conversations.
He brought us through the everglades with his Swamp Buggy with 5 others on the tour. At the beginning we saw a few alligators but later on unforgunately we could not see any more wildlife just the great nature.
He told us so many things about airplants, quite a bit much, but it was fine. Every history was from his own life and he told us secret things that only locals know. He is making this job his whole life. And he is 70+!!! 😀😀😀
Would love to go with him again and i can recommend this tour to the fullest.❤️

Everglades like no other - Captain Daniel's took us out on a half day half night ride very informative and lots of fun. We got to see what the real everglades looked like.. lots of crawfish, frogs, turtles, snake, gators, fish and much more. So many beautiful cypress trees and air plants. The star at night were awesome also. We had alot of fun and will be going again soon. If you go ask to book with captain Daniel's.

Enducational and Fun - Captain Daniels was an amazing source of education, lore, history of the area. It took us to places we have never seen off the beaten track and we have explored a lot in my lifetime in the Everglades. My teen son and I had a great time. The variety of ecosystems within the Everglades is like nowhere else. Our guide came from generations of family from the Everglades and knew it inside and out. Gave great safety tips for exploring the area and really encouraged us to come back and enjoy the Everglades and trails. He loved the area and that love shined through the whole tour. He allowed us to tailor the tour to what we wanted to see and do. We were the only ones on the tour for that time slot. Captain Daniels went above and beyond to make it enjoyable for both a teen boy and his mom.

Swamp Adventure was a Hit - My husband and I were looking forward to this adventure and we were not disappointed! Captain Adam was a terrific guide. He pointed out alligators, birds, and trees. The scenery was beautiful and the roads were filled with water from the recent rainstorm. We enjoyed hearing about his family’s swamp adventures. Thanks for a great trip.

Wild Lord Hike - Unfortunately the place closed permanently after Covid19
In 2020 the buggy ride was very interesting. There were several wild animals roaming free.
