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.

Enjoyable experience.

4.00Enjoyable over all. The boat tour of the Everglades required adjustments to be made due to drought conditions. We were told this the day prior. Instead of boating through the swampy grasslands we traveled up and down a channel. Not quite what we had in mind.
Gator galore

5.00Tammy and Freddy were great! They shared their wildlife knowledge and make sure we were all hydrated, safe and had a good time! Great for teens too!
Fun in the sun!

4.00Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We appreciated the snacks on the trip. While the boat ride itself was enjoyable it was lackluster. Maybe my expectations were higher for more of a high speed adventure through the Everglades, but this was basically a trip down a man made channel with a short detour into the wetlands.
Just do it!

5.00Guys, this was incredible. We were in fort lauderdale for a pre-cruise stay and had to see the Everglades whilst here. I don’t think this could have been much better. Thanks to Amando’s knowledge and experience, the nature walk was just incredible and we learned so much in little time. To be so close to a gator was insane and we saw so many! Whilst a slightly early start, we really did beat the crowds and the walk is timed perfectly to see wildlife at active times. Don’t hesitate on this one!
Awesome!!

5.00Excellent tour! Armando was a fantastic guide. He was very informative and kept things fun. We saw a lot of alligators, as well as birds, fish and turtles. The hike was a great way to see the park and wildlife. The boat ride was fun and gave another view. The communication for pick up was fine and the fact that we could get picked up was very helpful.
Learned a lot especially about gators

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.
