5.00Awesome experience! I love that it was a small group (6 people). Our guide Pete was just fantastic. So friendly and knowledgeable about everything. We saw tons of wildlife- birds, gators, dolphins, butterflies - and cool trees and flowers. Both boat rides were really fun and lunch was delicious. It really was a great adventure and I highly recommend it.

5.00Great trip! Pete was fantastic, very knowledgeable, funny and just a great tour guide! Saw some fantastic birds and flora on hour hike. The boat tour into the mangroves was amazing, dolphins swam in our wake. The fan boat tour topped off a great day! We had to see over 150 alligators some within as close as five feet. Thanks!!
Fun and informative.

5.00It was very informative. The fact that you had a walk, boat ride and an airboat ride made it a good day since you got a bit of everything. Each guide had a good personality and made it enjoyable.
