Amazing Day

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing Day. Everything was perfect and professional. Guide was so knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this to anyone

The best everglades tour

Published on Jan, 2025

The most amazing everglades tour! Had such a blast on the airboat and getting to meet and learn about the captive snakes and alligators! Very entertaining and educational, I highly recommend!

Fascinating and Fun

Published on Dec, 2024

My husband and I and our 23 year old son enjoyed our day with Pete immensely! He was a very engaging and thoughtful guide as well as a very knowledgeable speaker on a wide variety of issues and topics regarding the Everglades past and present. We had a beautiful day and spotted many types of wild and marine life. We felt Pete and both boat captains put in much effort to try and find the most interesting and exciting scenes for our enjoyment and exploration. We spotted many types of birds, crocodiles , turtles and the highlight of the day was a pod of dolphins that swam for a long time within arms length of our boat- so exciting! Got fantastic footage :) Lunch was tasty and service was great in a lovely local restaurant with a very friendly vibe. It was a full day that flew by with so much to see and absorb and definitely walked away appreciating the Everglades with all that we discovered and learned. Highly recommend! Lunch

Absolutely amazing Must do

Published on Dec, 2024

Absolutely amazingly Must do! Pete started us out on our bus tour with a list of birds for bird spotting! Throughout the day we ended up with almost 30 different birds. We took a short nature walk and Pete showed us different plants, berries, animals etc. Then we went on an air boat touring the Everglades. We saw alligators and snakes! We stopped at a nice island cafe for lunch. We went on another boat tour of the Everglades and stopped at an antique shopping store. Pete knows so much history of the Indians, Collier and the area.

Everglades Safari

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing day! Saw a few gators and snakes and tons of birds. Pete really made the trip special with his knowledge of plants and animals. I was particularly impressed with the history he shared of the Everglades and the indigenous tribes. Would do it all over again the next time we’re back here.
