The experience took place in January. Unfortunately the water levels were low preventing the boating portions of the outing to go to a number of areas in the ten thousand island area and also we couldn’t go into the sawgrass on an airboat. This was completely out of the control of the operators but was personally disappointing because I really wanted to ride through the sawgrass. Nevertheless, the experience was very enjoyable overall despite frigid weather conditions (yes, mid-30’s in the Everglades). The tour guide, Ryan, was very knowledgeable, had interesting facts to share and had a good pace to the outing.
Book this tour, you will love it!

We had a fantastic day touring different parts of the Everglades on land and water. Our guide, Armando, was entertaining and very knowledgeable about the history of the area, different types of wildlife and plants. We had a great lunch at a local restaurant. We even had time to stop at a museum in Everglades City. They offer pick up and drop off from your hotel for convenience. I highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful Tour

We toured with Addie who did a fantastic job from start to finish. Communication and pick up was perfect. It was unseasonably cold and Addie picked us up promptly from our hotel in a warm van. She was friendly and took excellent care of us the entire time. We saw so many amazing things with Addie who gave us information about nature and history. She spotted wild life around every turn. We learned so much from her. We saw lots of birds, alligators and even manatees and dolphins. Don't hesitate to book this full day tour. You won't be disappointed.
Great visit

Tour guides are experts and make the trip worthwhile and fun! Unfortunately the trip description was not accurate on Viator due to lack of water which prevented part of the journey. Evidently this has been for sometime so it should have been updated.
Great day!

Fabulous day. Our guide, Addy, took great care to provide us with an amazing adventure. We were in a group of only 7 people. The air boat ride was awesome. We got to see 24 different species of amazing birds and lots of alligators. Everything was better than expected. Lunch was great...and I have lots of dietary restrictions.
