Overview

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.

Beautiful and engaging day in the Everglades

5.00What an incredible trip! Ryan was an awesome tour guide- so engaging and very knowledgeable about local history and animals and plants in the Everglades. He was also very funny and friendly, keeping things interesting. We saw so many alligators - even a mother and her babies, along with multiple adults. Also tons of interesting birds and plants. I’m really glad this tour had the walking part and the airboat. The airboat was very fun and we got to see beautiful cypress trees and moss and more wildlife, including gators. But it is so loud that you can’t hear anything; having the walking part was a great opportunity to learn and also see things close up. Ryan even had ponchos in case of rain and water and snacks. All in all, we had a fantastic time and so did our 11-year-old son. Can’t recommend this enough!!
Logistics Problems but Good Experience.

3.00The ride in the park and on the boat was good, the park guide is 5 stars. The low score is because we booked for Wednesday, they asked us to stay waiting in a hotel that was not ours and they never took us, we communicated by phone and they gave us logistical problems, they sent us an Uber to recover and it never arrived. After waiting since 7:30 am, at 9 am they asked us if we could do the tour another day. We did it two days after and they offer us a 50% refund.

5.00Excellent Naturalist tour with Addie - I learned so much about the natural Florida native species and plants. We saw so many species from swallowtail butterflies to crickets to native fish to many many alligators! We even saw baby alligators with their mom - from a good safe distance!
Beautiful wildlife and nature.

5.00Addie was awesome!! So much knowledge and passion. Learned about the Indigenous lands we were guests upon, a little about how they have stewarded these land and we learned a lot about local birds, plants/ bushes/ trees the impact of the snakes on the mammal population and a lot about alligators (how to tell differences between females and male, the difference between alligators and crocodiles. And a lot about alligator habits and ways of being. Terrific !!! So glad I took this tour, learned WAY WAY more then if I went on my own🤗

5.00I had a great experience on this half day tour. The guide,Armando, was very knowledgeable. My goal was to see gators and we saw so many! Even a momma with babies on her back. I highly recommend this tour. My only regret is not booking the full day.
