With your expert naturalist guide, head out on an amazing 90-minute nature walk in Everglades National Park, the only Unesco World Heritage Site in Florida. This is your chance to view a wide variety of wildlife, including birds, large alligators, baby alligators, turtles, and more, up close! And where it should be experienced, in the wild! Discover the biodiversity of this one-of-a-kind wetland wilderness.
For 20-30 minutes, explore Everglades National Park on your own and stop in at the national park visitor center. Collect stamps, pins, or other souveneirs of your choice from ENP. Also, go on a scenic narrated drive led by your naturalist through the Everglades.
Take an exhilarating 60-70 minute air boat ride way far from land way out in the true "River of Grass." This non-touristy trip is your opportunity to see all kinds of wildlife and a vast array of bird species. Learn about the Native American culture, and to experience the remote beauty of their unique way of life.

5.00Great tour with the perfect mix of sightseeing and adventure. The airboat was the highlight, offering amazing views of the everglades. The airboat ride was both fun and informative. A great way to experience Florida's natural side.
Good tour, but not described right

4.00Overall, the experience was fine. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It wasn't as described, though. We didn't spend any time in the Indian Village, the walk was down a paved trail and didn't last the two hours, and if we drove over several bridges to see the Sawgrass, we didn't know we did it. The air boat ride is down a canal, which wasn't as exciting as we had hoped. I booked the tour for the four didn't parts, but as far as I know, we only did two of them. I think the tour itself was good, but they do need to update the description to match what they do.
Wonderful introduction to...

5.00Wonderful introduction to the Everglades with personable and knowledgeable guide. Saw a limpkin, roseate spoonbills and at least a dozen alligators, among other things.
Worth a visit

4.00Enjoyable trip Plenty of alligators but not guaranteed to see other wildlife but we did see some rare birds The walk is just along a tarmac lane - not really what you would class an Everglades experience and lots of cyclists in the area

5.00We had an amazing experience on our half-day Everglades tour with Armando! He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and he shared so many interesting facts about the wildlife and the Everglades ecosystem. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend this tour — especially if you get Armando as your guide!

5.00Amazing and experienced guides, the half day adventure was the best morning of casual hike and air boat ride!! Just fantastic!!
Great way to see this section of the Everglades!

4.00This was a wonderful way to experience the area of Shark Valley in the Everglades. Ryan was our “land” guide and he was a wealth of information about so many things: history, botany, bird and animal life. He did a fantastic job Another Ryan led the airboat part of the tour. He was very attentive to making sure we saw alligators, various birds, turtles. It was unfortunate for us that we couldn’t travel the sawgrass, the water levels are just so low right now. It’s the ONLY reason I didn’t give the tour a “5”, and it’s through no fault of theirs.
Had a great time in the Everglades!

5.00We had a great time on our half-day tour of the Everglades with our guide Tammy! Saw a ton of critters and the fan boat ride was excellent. This was a great way to get out of the city and enjoy nature. They even picked us up straight from the hotel making it super convenient. Thanks for a fun day!
