Our guide was friendly, engaging, and shared a breadth of information.

We were impressed with our guide's knowledge of wildlife, geology, hydrology, history of European / American / Native American interactions and the early and late development of the Everglades area. She had a sympathetic understanding of the imagination and ignorance of Florida's developers from colonial times onward to the present, the challenges they faced and those they left to the present generation. I only wish I had a map of the routes we followed that I might retell our story better.

What a fantastic day! Our guide Ben was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. Highlights included baby dolphins, baby gators, and more blue herons that I’ve seen in my life. I feel like I got a comprehensive overview of the Everglades and understand the region so much more than I did before. Highly recommend to others!

Ben was our guide and was exceptional in every way. His knowledge of ecosystems, flora and fauna was impressive. Highly recommend this trip.

Wonderful! Very accommodating group of people. Capt. Mitch made the evening a pleasure. Highly recommend!
