Excellent investment of time and money - My husband and I felt as if we were on a Floridian Safari. So much nature all around us. From in the water to flying above and everything in between. Florida is teaming with wildlife and our guide Abigail was very personable and knowledgeable of the eco systems we were introduced to in our full day tour. The tour was everything we expected plus more Lunch was delicious too BTW Abigail kept us on schedule and we never felt rushed. The airboat through the grass river with Capt Randy was very educational. The speed boat ride through the 10,000 Isands was fun and we did get to see a dolphin and spend a little time on one of the islands where we found a couple of amazing shells. Our walking tour through the Big Cypress forest was a treat where we saw bromeliads and orchids growing on the trees. A few turtles allowed us a peek and we saw how the roots of the Cypress trees grow back up through the surface for better stability to withstand the hurricane season. We saw and learned a lot during our full day tour. Well worth the time and money spent

Amazing Everglades Experience - Abigail, a marine biologist and experienced tour leader, made this trip! Her passion and enthusiasm enhanced every sighting. Giant flocks of wading birds-heron, egrets and the rare roseate spoonbill- were just the start. Airboat tour, walking tour and boat tour each revealed a myriad of wildlife and plants. The baby dolphin swimming and playing in our wake was a highlight. Abigail shared her vast knowledge of the history, culture and environmental impact of the area with our small group . If you want to experience the Everglades, this is the trip!

Super enjoyable all day Everglades experience - The whole day was a pleasure. The arrangements and organization were seamless, the comfort level good, and the price right. The activities were fun and interesting, and we were given the right amount of time for them, as well as for rest stops and lunch. But the best part was undoubtedly the running commentary and teaching from Abigail, the tour leader. She had an endless trove of information about the animals, the plants, and the history of the communities and the Everglades. I learned so much! She was also just warm, friendly and extremely capable, so that I felt I was in good hands. I don’t have the greatest health (poor endurance, can’t tolerate heat) but this trip, while a little challenging because of the sun and the length of the trip, was well balanced and very doable. There were ample opportunities for rest, and I could have stayed in the van at any time, if I had had to (my only complaint is that the air conditioning was not very strong for the heat of the day). I felt very well taken care of, so that all I had to do was enjoy what we were doing and learn about the Everglades. Kudos to Abigail and the tour.

Great guide, amazing wildlife, fantastic memories - Our family of four had an unforgettable time on our nature tour with Abigail! We saw and learned a ton about the different habitats of the Everglades. Abigail was a great guide: knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to spend the day with. The two boat rides were a real highlight: alligators, dolphins, and more birds than I remember. The hikes helped to connect the dots and make us understand the broader Everglades ecosystem. This was a great way to spend the day and see more of Florida than just beaches and amusement parks. I highly recommend it!

Highly recommend-outstanding experience - This trip is a must-do for anyone on or near Marco Island, and was truly a highlight for our family. We had a group of six family members ranging from age 8 to 70. Everyone had an amazing experience and learned so much. Abigail, our guide, was outstanding. She was knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic. Her communication style is clear and engaging - her passion for conservation and the beauty of southwest Florida was contagious. The airboat ride was a highlight - we had a close encounter with two alligators, many birds, and fish. The boat tour of the 10,000 islands was another great experience- we saw dolphins and were able to explore one of the islands. We also enjoyed the nature walk. The pace of the trip was great - lots of stops, plenty of food, and a very comfortable van. Five stars for the quality of the trip and five stars for Abigail. Highly recommend this trip!

Great tour with great guides - This tour was a highlight of our trip. We had two great guides who put a lot of effort into the whole day and had lots of interesting information about the country and its people. Because the group was small, everything was very personal and a lot of fun. I can only recommend this tour, I don't think you can find a better one.

Exciting day packed with so many great viewing opportunities! The dolphins were fabulous! - Abigail was an excellent and knowledgeable guide- We learned so much about the history of the area and the multiple ecosystems within the Everglades- we had an entirely new perspective of the importance of this area. What an excellent opportunity from the West side of the park (Naples). Highly recommend this well organized full day tour!

NOT a tour of the National Park - Please note this tour has a VERY misleading title. It DOES NOT take you to the National Park - it goes through the National Preserve. Very frustrated as we booked the tour expecting the National Park and now have not seen that. Note the comment about visitor centers is for the National Preserve. Abigail was our guide and very knowledgeable. Picked up over 45 minutes late so not sure what was cut short as it said the tour was 9 hours but still made it back in time. Typical air boat ride and ride through 10,000 islands were fun. Saw lots of gators and birds. Lunch was good at local restaurant - love it supports local business! Child approved snacks and drinks were provided.
