We wanted to be able to really experience the Everglades. We are so glad we chose the Everglades Day Safari! We learned something at every stop and along the way. Our guide, Jason, was incredible. If we'd have tried to visit the Everglades on our own, we'd have missed so much. The boat rides were great, the nature walks were... More

If you want to be out in nature, this is a great day trip. Can't beat being picked up and deposited back at your hotel -- comfortable van. Power boat trip through the glades was fun. Hard to get snapshots of the birds, though, as they fly away when they hear the boat coming. Our guide stopped and gave us... More

This was an all day bus trip to everglades. Picked up at the resort at 7:15am and returned at 5:30pm. Our guide Jason was very knowledgeable and explained so many things about the everglades, wildlife, native american indians. We saw birds, manatee,snakes, tons of alligators, fish. Took 2 airboat rides in different parts of the everglades. Lunch was included which... More

If you only have one day to see the best of the Everglades, then this trip is the one for you. From the driven tour, to the airboat ride, to the nature walk, the fabulous lunch and another boat ride, this has it all. Our guide, Norman, was awesome from the moment we were picked up. We learned so much... More

We just got back from the tour, and wow was it an experience. We really got to see a lot of things. The airboat ride was awesome, and the amount of knowledge the tour guide gave us - and the myths he dispelled - was amazing. The drive through the areas was cool too. We completely recommend it and our... More

As we were going into the Everglades for the first time, my wife and I decided to go with a guided tour, rather than go by ourselves and hope that we found what we wanted to see. Choosing this tour (With the advice of the Concierge at our accommodation) was an excellent decision and lead to us having a fantasic... More

Waking up at 6am on a saturday was never so fulfilling. This experience will be forever etched in my memory, from our amazing and hilarious guides Norman and Jason, to the cross state van ride to an air boat in the rain, to a walk though a cypress dome, to learning about the Miccosukee Indians, to seeing baby alligators, dolphins,...

We only had 2 days during this trip to explore the area. This tour was perfect. I have always wanted to see the Everglades and boy did we! Jason was our guide and he had an amazing knowledge of the area, history, culture, and on and on. The van was spotless. The alligators were numerous. We saw a fox! I... More

If you never take another tour you HAVE to take this one. It combines everything in one tour. It is a long day but well worth it. They are very professional, informative, and really care about this American treasure. Well worth the time and $. There were children on this tour of about age 8 to 10 and they seemed... More

The tour cost $145 per adult. It started at 7:15 a.m. and we got back to Fort Lauderdale at 5:30 p.m. We started with a bus ride to the Everglades and then, an airboat ride which lasted about 45 minutes. I'd never seen an alligator up close and ended up seeing about 20 in their natural habitat. There were also... More
