After a morning hotel pickup in the Fort Lauderdale area, it’s off to one of the most beautiful and unique places on earth—the Florida Everglades.

On this naturalist-guided excursion, begin with a spectacular airboat ride over and through the sawgrass prairies and pond apple forests of the Everglades. Then hop in a van for a wildlife drive through the pine savannahs and cypress forests of Big Cypress National Preserve. Look for alligators, turtles, and birds and keep an eye out for the elusive Florida panther. Next, enjoy a nature walk below towering bald cypress trees. Alligators, herons, egrets and dozens of other species can be spotted at any time throughout the year here. Also, less visible but ever-present otters, bears, pigs, deer, and panthers roam the local wilderness.

After lunch, which includes alligator appetizers, hop on board a scenic boat ride into the Ten Thousand Islands mangrove forest in Everglades National Park. This relaxing cruise features manatees, sea turtles, osprey and a variety of other marine life, including the occasional pod of dolphins feeding in the nearby bay.

The tour concludes with a relaxing return trip to the Fort Lauderdale area.

Notice: If hotel is not on the pickup list, meet at Flamingo Gardens in Davie, Fla.

Discover the vastness and ecological complexity of the Everglades. It is a pretty full day but very worth your time if you really want to understand the essential role of the Everglades in the Floridian ecology. Karl is an outstanding guide and all the proposed activities are a lot of fun.

This was a fabulous trip! Our guide, Marc, was personable, funny, engaging and very knowledgeable. Loved how he pulled over the van to point out and further explain birds, points of interest, etc. The air boat ride was great, saw lots of birds, alligators of course. The nature walk was informative and we saw lots of plants that were new to me. Lunch was fabulous by the water with a nice variety of choices. The pontoon ride was the best!!! We had dolphins surfing behind the boat, including a baby one! I would recommend this trip wholeheartedly.

It's the best trip I've ever been to. We went to the Everglades, Big Cypress, and the west coast of Florida. The trip is just awesome!!! Friendly guide, yummy food, and lots of wild animals. We saw so many birds, alligators, dolphins, and manatees. Especially for the birds, there are so many different kinds of beautiful birds, the Roseate Spoonbill, the Great Blue Heron, the Osprey, the Bold Eagle... I took hundreds of pictures but only can upload 10 of them. I use a 300mm lens. If you have a long lens, I strongly recommend you to bring it.

Michele_P
, Apr 2022
We were able to see just about everything from an alligator fight to manatees, rays, loggerhead turtles, a bald eagle, and dolphins. The best parts were the juvenile dolphins with mom feeding and then jumping in the wake of the boat. Our guide Karl was great. He knew the environment well and was passionate about it. Because the water in big cypress was extremely low we actually were able to walk through a cypress dome for a unique experience. The small group dynamic was great. Lunch was delicious at a small local waterfront casual restaurant. It fit in perfectly with the day.
