하이라이트
Everglades National Park is unique on our planet. It is a wonderful, water-filled paradise that is best accessed by a quiet, slow-moving, shallow draft boat. One of the best loved residents of the Park are Bottle-Nosed Dolphins. Watching dolphin, in their natural habitat, interacting with each other, something that you will never forget. Our full-time, formally trained, Florida Master Naturalist guides will safely take you deep into the 10,000 Islands of the Everglades. While searching for dolphins, manatees and some of the 300 different species of birds that call the Park home, you will learn about the different Everglades ecosystem, its long history and rich culture. You will have fun and learn a lot. Don't forget your cameras! Note: June through October, we suggest the morning experiences due to the weather.

2Disappointing - This "expedition" was a ride on a motor boat and walking on a sandbar.
Arrangements may vary but our "expedition" was a ride in a small boat with outboard motor propulsion, maybe room for 6 passengers. The boat took a great deal of time chugging up a man-made channel then finally went out into the "10,000 Islands" area of the Florida coast. You may pass within the boundaries of the national park on occasion, but you won't notice. You just look at the coastline of lots of little island channels, all bounded by mangroves. Our guide kept his mouth shut most of the time, but did stop ocasionally to tell us about this or that bird he spotted. The walking part of the expedition was just beaching on a sandbar and letting us out, unaccompanied, to look for seashells. We were quite disappointed with the whole thing and told the guide to cut it short. On the way back we drew him out and got good suggestions for a restaurant and sightseeing for our trip back to Miami. Yeah in some ways the whole thing was our fault, for failing to understand that the Everglades is a big place and is not just swamps and alligators. We didn't research carefully enough and expected something quite different from what was provided. Still, this was a poor quality "expedition." We expected a guide to "talk it up" and not just silently pilot a small motorboat. And we expected the walking to be more than being let out by ourselves to roam around on a sandbar. Hence the two stars.
5Perfect trip
Great trip! First of all, this is not the trip I originally booked. Due to scheduling changes, my shorter morning trip became unavailable but the director phoned me immediately and offered me a choice of another trip at the cost of my original booking. So my friend and I ended up on this longer trip, guided by Captain Don. It was just us and another couple. Don was so knowledgeable and so eager to show us around. He had spotted a group of dolphins mating earlier in the day, so we zipped right out and he located them -- I mean, how often do you get to watch dolphins canoodling right in front of you? Then we headed further out and Don took us to whatever looked interesting, which was a lot. We stopped at 2 small islets/cays/beaches? I don't know the proper word. But anyway, he showed us all sorts of interesting marine and bird life, as well as local vegetation and objects of historic interest such as the ancient oyster shell wall. Believe me, it's impressive. If you are guided by Captain Don, make sure to ask him about Nyad -- he has a lot to tell you. All in all, a wonderful outing with a very pleasant and knowledgable guide. I'd repeat this trip if I were in the area, that's how good it was.
5Amazing experience in the Everglades - wildlife, mangroves, indigenous artifacts, and a great guide!
We had am amazing time - Dan was our captain, and it ended up being just our family group on the boat. We saw a lot of wildlife during the tour - baby horseshoe crabs, nesting birds, and several dolphins (including a group that played near the boat for a while). The sandbar where we anchored to walk was beautiful, and we also got a chance to see some really interesting artifacts from the first people who had lived in the Everglades. Dan was a great captain - tremendously knowledgeable and friendly - and we got a chance to see things on the tour that we wouldn't have even known to look for without his expertise. Cannot recommend the tour highly enough!
