What a great day! - Elijah our guide made the experience an adventure. He was very knowledgeable about the wilderness and all of its secrets. Shared the history of the Seminole tribe and their struggles to exist. He also led us to see all kinds of wildlife, giving real time information on what we were seeing. Lots of wildlife were seen including fish, birds, turtles, spiders, grasshoppers, alligators, and even dolphins. I would highly recommend this tour if you like history and want to learn about southern Florida or the Everglades.

Memorable day out in the Everglades - The day was so memorable. Eli our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make the day special. Cannot thank him enough. We did not use the pick up service and drove straight to the start point so cannot comment on that service. Would thoroughly recommend the trip - it was great value for money - and lunch was included!

The real deal! - If you’ve ever wanted to experience the Everglades like we did for years and can’t work out as an o/s visitor how to ‘do it all’ in a day without bring camping or hiking kit in your luggage- this is the only tour to do. Literally covered the vastly different eco systems from the Gulf of Mexico through to the fascinating Alligator holes in the Cypress National park to the iconic fanboat ride over the shallowest of swamps finding Alligators. Our guide Eli just knew so much across so many subjects. For me with a fascination for all things botanical he had a great knowledge of everything we were looking at on our hike and I learnt so much! A day that will take a lot to beat!

A week of the everglades in a day - We met our guide Elijah early in the morn. He was immediately welcoming. Elijah was incredibly knowledgable and informative about all things Everglades and Florida. We got an excellent history lesson during our tour. The tour was brilliant, we covered a lot of ground but at the same time it wasn’t rushed. Elijah was able to cover flora, fauna, native history and Florian history, and had some very interesting stories. He was. Also able to take all of our questions easily. We loved the airboat ride, and the cruise boat to the Gulf of Mexico, The Big Cypress hike (easy boardwalk) over delivered. We saw large quantities of alligators, dolphins, snakes, and huge Osprey nest, a rare raccoon, and so much other wildlife. It was fascinating and I can’t recommend it highly enough

We'll go with VIATOR in the future - This was our second VIATOR-made excursion in Florida (the other was a snorkeling in Key West) and from this initial on-line sign-up to the actual event (everglades eco-tour) it went swimmingly ;-). Seriously, the cost of this one for what we got was an incredible deal. When we had a major issue, it was easy to get in contact with both VIATOR and the actual tour operator. We strongly recommend this trip and working with and through VIATOR

Worth the money!! - What an amazing experience! Elijah knew a lot about the Everglades, both nature and people. Besides the alligators, the native village and the beautiful nature, we were lucky that the dolphins wanted to play behind our boats. And we got an extra bonus with a visit to a photo gallery with beautiful nature photos. We enjoyed it!
