Private Tour: Everglades Adventure Day Trip from Greater Fort Myers/Naples Area

The airboat in the Everglades. The birds and alligators were fantastic Loved the boat ride with the Dolphins jumping out of the water. The guide was very personable.

I thoroughly enjoyed this day. They were prompt in picking us up and getting to designated locations on time. The first part of the day was the boat ride out into the 10,000 islands area to find dolphins. Our captain and first mate were knowledgeable about all the wildlife in the area and did an excellent job of locating dolphins and getting them to play in the wake of the boat. Our land tour was also excellent. The walk was an easy one along a wooden walkway and again, the guide's knowledge of the plant and animal life was incredible. The pace was reasonable and allowed enough time to really absorb what we were seeing. The interactive nature of the tour kept everyone engaged. Lunch in Everglade City was good and the stop along the road to view alligators up close and personal was amazing. The finale was the airboat ride on Lake Trafford. Again, the captain really knew his stuff and made sure that we all saw the variety of bird life, alligators and plants that abound in the area. An added bonus was all the rescue animals that they have. Because two of the boats were out of commission that day, there was a delay but our guide filled that time with bringing out some of the rescue animals for us to see an touch, like the king snake. Fascinating! It was a full day of getting in touch with a world that few of us will ever forget. It left me full of awe and wonder.

Great day trip, enjoyed by all. Seen all kinds of wildlife. Lunch was good. Well worth the money $. Definitely recommend to others.

Ben was our tour guide and he did a fantastic job! If all your guides are as knowledgeable and personable as him, you have a top notch staff. He was on time and professional from the moment he picked us up and went above and beyond to make sure that all of us were comfortable, could hear him well, and enjoyed the day. We learned so much about the ecosystem throughout the day and the importance of all the different aspects of the environment. The captains at the lake and Smallwoods were also very good. Everyone was passionate about the Everglades and environment and it showed that they all love their jobs!

This tour is a great experience. Our guide Alex was helpful, extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The airboat ride was great and our captain (Johnson) was tremendous. The diversity of bird life was incredible and the boat ride itself was a thrill. The lunch provided was mediocre at best, but their ice cream made up for its shortcomings. After lunch we went on the Smallwood boat ride in the mangrove islands, and it was a cold miserable waste of time. Note to future travelers, reschedule if the weather turns cool. The nature walk was unique and a nice end to the day. The return time is very unpredictable due to in season traffic, so don’t schedule dinner reservations. Overall the experience was unique and memorable. If they could change the afternoon small boat ride, it would have been great. Again thanks to Alex for a memorable and fun overall experience

The perfect day, started with the airboat tour, then the motorboat ride, followed by the nature hike. Our guide (Pete) provided an ongoing narrative about the history and wildlife in the Everglades. We saw gators, many species of birds, and some porpoises throughout the day. We had a great time.

Ben was very knowledgeable and the trip was a lot of fun. We enjoyed all aspects as a good introduction to this part of the world. There was a lot of driving and sitting, but it was informative and fun.

This tour is wonderful. Time flies as you move from one activity to another, and the guides are very knowledgeable!

My family enjoyed the day, but felt the tour guide (Anne) did not completely meet our needs in transit. We willfully sat in the back of the van, but asked for her to have louder volume of her narration as the rear AC motor was too loud to hear. This could be something out of her control, so your Company could add a speaker further back which would help the situation. Otherwise, good overview of the interesting area.

Great trip. We enjoyed the entire trip. Special thanks to boat ride in 10,000 island and dolphins viewing. We saw dolphins in wild within few inches from our boat. Air boat ride was also exceptional. Get to see Everglades and mature very closely.
