Good experience - Seeing the unique wildlife of the Florida Everglades was exciting, as well as the unique flora of the region. Very well explained by the cheerful tour guide. Worth an hour and a half.

Outstanding! - Such a beautiful spot! The boat took us to many different locations and the guide taught us all about the floral and fauna along the way. The Everglades is a true gem of this great country and should be be preserved, kept clean and care for always. Grateful we had the opportunity to visit there.

A beautiful and educational boat tour. - The boat tour was as described, with a guide who taught us loads about the trees, plants and birds that we saw as we made our way up the canal and into the various waterways. There are no guarantees, but we spotted crocodiles, a manatee, many herons, a kingfisher and many other beautiful things. The ride was both educational and relaxing.

Great boat trip with great explanations - We went spontaneously by car to Flamingo and decided to take a boat tour. Small group, pleasant boat and very detailed explanations from guides from the national park. Normal boat, as airboats are prohibited in the NP. also any touching of animals is prohibited and absolutely right so!

Good in the rain - The tour was worth our time even though it was raining and we got wet. Can't blame the tour operator for the weather. Extra added to meet minimum character count.
