Western Everglades Tour

Joseph_D, Mar 2024

Our guide Abigail was a marine biologist and very definitely a people person. She was a wonderful knowledgeable guide . We enjoyed our day with her and we learned a lot about the diverse ecosystems of the Everglades. Highly recommended . Our tour entered from the west. We would like to do a tour from the east entrance someday..

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Really thrilled that you learned a lot from your guide that day, and that you had fun. It means a lot that you took some time to leave us this nice review.

Great hiking and boating trip in the Everglades.

Timothy_B, Mar 2024

The trip with our guide, Abigail was fantastic. She was friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable on the full range of Everglade topics. Our boat ride was also great as several dolphins played in the wake of the boat right next to us. Take this trip, you will enjoy it.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you so much for recommending to others that they try this trip. This particular tour is a bit of a newer one for us. We are so glad you enjoyed it! We hope to see you again one day!

We learned SO much, and I think we'll remember it because what we were learning about was right in front of us.

Michele_E, Feb 2024

I (Kami Day) really think everything was equally memorable. Michele and I have wanted to visit 10 Thousand Islands and the Everglades every since we read Shadow Country by Peter Mathiesson. We loved riding around among the islands, seeing the mangroves and birds, playing with the dolphins (very fun!); seeing the alligators and more birds (especially the wood stork) at the visitors' center; our walk through a bit of Big Cypress. We have continued to talk about all we learned about the trees, plants, prescribed burn, environment, etc. etc. I thought there was an awful lot of driving, and I wondered if Abigail was maybe overloading us with information, but we loved her enthusiasm and expertise and we have found we remember so much of what she taught us. We were fortunate to have a tour guide with so much expertise and knowledge. I cannot stop thinking about the Everglades as a slow-flowing river, about Lake Okeechobee and the fact that it should be able to empty freely into that river. The way I think about the Everglades is forever changed. I hope we get to take an airboat tour someday.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Truly incredible review. Thank you for taking the time to leave this thorough feedback. We really appreciate it. What I most appreciate, as the manager of the company, is how your guide, Abigail, provided so much interesting information, about the things that were seen and experienced, as they were taking place. I agree with you that this is the way we can really learn and appreciate everything. It's through the experience that makes it register with us, and makes it so memorable. We hope to see you again one day. Thanks again for taking the time to leave this most wonderful review!

Great trip!

Barbara_B, Dec 2023

This was a great excursion to see the 10,000 islands in the Everglades. Our guide, Abigail, was very attentive and knowledgeable. She was a gem! The boat ride was great and throughout the trip we saw lots of wildlife. Highly recommend this trip.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you very much for your kind review. We hope to see you on another adventure one day!
