A great tour! - This was a great experience! Enoch was an excellent guide. He shared information with us about the plants and critters we encountered, and answered all the crazy questions we had! Water and snacks were provided along with a couple stops for bathroom breaks and additional food if wanted. The air boat was so much fun and we saw several young 'gators swimming around. A very good tour!

Five stars for an unforgettable Everglades experience - We took part in an incredible tour of the Everglades, which included both a short hike and an exciting boat tour. The team was fantastic – very attentive and well prepared. They really thought of everything you need in the high heat: from enough water and snacks to sunscreen to protect us from the strong sun. The hike offered us the opportunity to experience the unique landscape up close, and on the boat tour we saw many fascinating animals in their natural environment. From alligators to rare bird species, everything was there! The guides not only guided us safely through the tour, but also provided a lot of interesting information about the wildlife of the Everglades. This tour was a great experience that I can recommend to anyone who loves nature and wants to discover the Everglades. It was an adventure that will stay with us for a long time!

Magical & a must for lovers of the Everglades - I grew up in Miami, not too far from the Everglades and had never been on an airboat ride! I have camped & spent time in the everglades but WOW this way to see the wetlands is unmatched. The captain of our airboat gave us a magical experience, drifting and skimming over the waters to show us the expanse and wonder of the habitat. I don't want to set expectations too high here, but as a native Miamian, this experience moved me to tears. A must!

Amazing experience at the Everglades - It was a fantastic experience, there was so much to learn about the Everglades and the indigenous people. Elijah was a great tour guide who showed us around with amazing depth of knowledge about all the flora and fauna of the Everglades. Would definitely recommend, although if you can then I would say the best time to go would be in the winters cause then you get to see many more alligators.

Perfect time in the photo walk course - Photo Walk with WeinWalk-Mainz after a welcome drink in the shop, theory with “learning by doing”, settings discovered and learned on the mobile phone. An exciting, very informative photo walk in the old town with exercises at different stations. We had a very good time and in the end all great photos 😊. Marion Rockstroh-Kruft has introduced us to the handling of mobile phone settings in an entertaining, motivating way. Let’s “play” with “leading lines”, exposure, image compositions, perspectives and focus – to train our own intuition. Thanks for the great course!

Amazing experience and no captive animals - Great tour to the Everglades (walk + air boat). Our guide Enoch provided a lot of super interesting information about plants and animals. Important: No alligator "shows" in this tour, which should be greatly appreciated by those of you who don't support any kind of animal cruelty ;)

Wonderful Tour of the Everglades - The naturalist walk was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable. The airboat ride was amazing. You get to have a closeup view of the Everglades. I appreciated that the guide provided water, snacks, and bug spray. She also gave us ponchos to wear when a little rainstorm came in. Unlike another tour group, we were also given some ear protection for the airboat ride. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Unbelievable experience! - Our expectations were blown away by our guide who had the most incredible knowledge of the Everglades, from its formation in the pangea era to the present day. The airboat ride was brilliant too, but it was really the guide that made it so interesting, Well worth doing!

Everglades walk and Air Boat tour - My family took this tour in the heat of early September, I would recommend that if you have the opportunity to come visit at a cooler time, do so. The nature walk was a slight disappointment in that it was simply a walk down the Shark Valley tram road, I had expected something more off path, but I guess there aren't any hiking trails at Shark Valley. Our guide, Elijah had lots of interesting information about the creatures we saw along the way and details about the park and the native people of the area The air boat tour of the everglades was very cool. The boat held 12 people and our guide had lots of information. We got to see baby alligators and some turtles that were being rehabbed. We stopped at two islands to learn more about the native peoples that lived there and their way of life. All in all an enjoyable, but hot trip. Try to do this in cooler weather.
