Everglades Day Safari - Fort Lauderdale - Davie, Florida

This tour was just fantastic and worth every penny! Mark was our guide today and he was so informative, personable and you could tell he loves his job. I highly recommend the full day tour if you really want to experience everything this incredible area has to offer. First class all the way, this was on my bucket list for Florida and well worth the cost!

The best thing we've done in Miami, Mark our tour guide was great. We did the full day tour and it's worth every penny. It's amazing how much wildlife you see on this tour.

Paul and I just returned from the most amazing 200 mile exploration of Everglades National Park with
Max as our naturalist.tour guide.

Read the tour description carefully as it is pinpoint to everything that Paul and I saw today.

I would strongly recommend going on Google and reading up on the Everglades before you go.so you understand it's vast expanse so when Max describes you'll be semi-familiar.

We were privy in seeing a tremendous amount of birds turtles crocodiles, flora and fauna.
Each adventure today was unique.

Highly recommend. You must be agile to get in and out of the bus and on to the boats independently.

It's a long day but it is so worth it.
I can't even imagine what this would have been like had we done the half day.

I strongly recommend the full day or you will miss out on nature galore.

We loved this tour, so much gets packed into the day! As our hotel was not on the pick up list I had emailed the business to ask for the closest location to our hotel, and within a short time their response was that on this occasion they were able to collect us from our hotel. Really brilliant customer service! The trip itself was fab, our guide Julio was so knowledgeable and friendly and happy to answer any and all questions. We saw lots of wildlife and wonderful habitats. The lunch stop was also great with the food being really good and a quick service to boot. We were lucky to see not just lots of alligators, but also dolphins, turtles, snakes, fish, lots of different birds, but no manatees unfortunately, Overall, a great day!

My wife and I were staying in Fort Lauderdale for a few days without a car and wanted to check out the Everglades. This was the only tour company that we found that had a hotel pickup/drop off and did a full day tour of the Everglades.

The tour was well worth it and was a jam-packed day filled with things to do, including an airboat ride to an island at the Miccosukee reservation, wildlife sightseeing tour in the van with commentary from our tour guide (Marc), Big Cypress Oasis visitor center (lots of alligators here!), a nature walk at Kirby Storter Roadside Park, lunch at Triad Seafood Market & Cafe in Everglades City, and concluded with a scenic boat cruise into the Ten Thousand Islands mangrove forest in Everglades National Park where we were able to see lots of birds, dolphins swimming and jumping near our boat, and a manatee coming up several times for air.

Our tour guide, Marc, was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and the wildlife. He constantly answered questions and pointed out new types of birds, alligators, and things to see. It was cool to drive past and learn about the Indian reservation in the Everglades.

I would recommend eating a big breakfast or bringing some snacks with you on the tour as lunch was around 1pm and I found myself hungry before then. Food is not allowed to be eaten inside the van due to allergy concerns.

This is a great introduction to the natural world of Southern Florida. We really enjoyed the great explanations of the the Flora, fauna and ecology of the Everglades and Big Cypress National Preserve by Zak, our guide and driver. He was knowledgeable and witty, kept us engaged all day. We enjoyed our group lunch and the two boat rides. In particular, the boat ride on Captain Gary's skiff was excellent. This trip was well worth the price.

This was an awesome trip. Our guide, Marc, was extremely knowledgable and provided was with continuous flow of information. Marc pointed out wildlife, flora, and many items that I certainly wouldn't have thought about. The air boat ride was awesome and we saw many alligators. The pontoon boat ride through the 10,000 islands was beyond our expectations. We saw lots of birds, the mangroves, bottle nose dolphins, and a manatee. Each boat operators were great too. I learned so much from this trip.

Remember to bring a camera with telephoto lens. Don't miss out on the abundance of wildlife you will surely see during your trip.

Lastly, lunch was awesome too!

My husband and I did this excursion during our short stay in Ft Lauderdale. It was AMAZING! Marc (from NY) did an outstanding job from start to finish! I’ve been to Florida 20+ times and have never been shown or told some of these things. My husband mentioned it was the best “tour” he’s ever taken! Our day started with a pick up from our hotel then to an airboat ride, boardwalk trip, lunch, and then another boat ride into the Gulf. We saw gators and dolphins the same day! We learned so much about so many trees, flowers, birds, and bugs. We saw snakes, dragonflies, raccoons, dolphins, alligators, turtles, birds, and butterflies. I would recommend this to anyone! 10/10!
