Lucky and Captain Chris kept it fun and very informative. They were both very responsive to questions. We saw amazing sights, including a crocodile and local birds, such as the Anhinga. I left with the desire to see more of this beautiful park.

Our naturalist/biologist, Lucky, was excellent. She gave great info on everything we saw, which was a lot. Lots of cool wildlife and nature in general. Definitely recommend.

The walk was excellent. Since it was Monday, there was only our reservation. She was honored with mastery. It is a calm and educational walk. Lots of information about the ecosystem, fauna, flora. Maybe for the hour, we took the walks at 1:00, and for the fiery heat, we saw only a few birds. The captain and crew were very friendly and helpful. The boat was in excellent condition, very clean, neat. Only the seats I found tough and uncomfortable. There is no boarding Service. It is only allowed to bring water to drink. No other foods or drinks.

The guide for this tour was very knowledgeable and experienced. We didn't see a great deal of wildlife on the tour, but that is always going to be hit and miss.Most of the tour was spent in the canal and there was a bit of time in a lake. Best part of the experience was walking over to the boat ramp after the tour to see numerous manatees.
