Rejseplan
En økotur langs Tamiami Trail tilbyder et levende glimt af Floridas vilde hjerte. Gæsterne rejser gennem saggræspræier, cypressemager og vådlandslager, omgivet af hævede kypressetræer drabet i spansk mos. Wildlife sightings ofte omfatter amerikanske alligatorer, hvide hale hjorte, otter, skildpadder, og en blændende række af fugle som egretter, spiseskefulde, hjorte og barred ugler. Reservatet er også rigt på sjældne planter som spøgelsesorkideer og luftplanter, der klæber til gamle træer. Guiderne deler historier om stammerne Miccosukee og Seminole, områdets tidlige udvikling og bevaringsindsatsen, der reddede dette vitale økosystem. Hver sæson byder på noget nyt - vandrende fugle, blomstrende bromeliader eller lavt vand, der afslører swampens hemmeligheder. Uanset om det er med van, boardwalk eller luftbådtur, er denne tur en chance for at forbinde med naturen og være vidne til Everglades tidløse skønhed.
Besøg "River of Grass" om bord på en ikonisk luftbåd - flad bund og perfekt designet til at glide over de grunne vådområder i Everglades. Som vinden skynder forbi og fugle flyver over hovedet, din kaptajn deler historier om land, dyreliv, og traditioner, der er videregivet gennem generationer.
Big Cypress National Preserve er et stort, vildt landskab, der spænder over 700.000 acres i det sydlige Florida, lige nord for Everglades National Park. Det beskytter en rig mosaik af swamps, pinelands, prærier og hårdt træ hængsler, der understøtter en bred vifte af dyreliv, herunder alligatorer, Florida pantere, sorte bjørne, hvide hale hjorte og hundredvis af fuglearter. I modsætning til en traditionel nationalpark, Big Cypress tillader flere anvendelser - jagt, off-road køretøj adgang, og stamme liv - samtidig bevare sin unikke økologi. Et besøg i Oasis Visitor Center, der ligger lige langs Tamiami Trail, er den perfekte introduktion til reservatet. Gæsterne kan se uddannelsesmæssige udstillinger om swampens dyreliv, hydrologi og kulturhistorie, chatte med rangers og nyde den tætte udsigt over alligatorer, der solner i kanalen lige udenfor. Det er et ideelt startpunkt for dybere udforskning i denne subtropiske vildmark - enten ved bådvandring, naturskøn køretur eller guidet økotur.
Island Cafe i Everglades City tilbyder en gratis og tilfredsstillende frokostmenuen med lokale smage og klassiske favoritter. Gæsterne kan nyde stegt østers, perfekt sprød og fuld af kystsmag, eller nyde en blid, flakket grillet mahi filet. For noget velsmagende og velkendt, den grillede kylling og saftige hamburgere er altid en hit. De craving dristige smagsstoffer kan grave ind i BBQ svinekød tacos eller cheesy quesadillas, serveret varmt og fyldt med smag. Lettere måltid inkluderer en række veggie wraps og friske salater, perfekt til gæster på udkig efter en plantebaseret eller forfriskende mulighed. Uanset om du er i humør for skaldyr, komfortmad eller noget grønt, serverer Island Cafe det med et smil - helt gratis på tur!
Et besøg i den historiske Smallwood Store i Chokoloskee tilføjer rigt kulturelt dybde til dit eventyr. Denne bevarede handelspost fra 1906 ligger på stilke over kanten af de ti tusinde øer og tilbyder et fascinerende glimt af livet i Florida Everglades. Gæsterne kan udforske artefakter, værktøjer og historier fra tidlige bosættere, Gladesmen, og Seminole og Miccosukee stammer, der engang handlede varer her. Museet er fyldt med legender, herunder historier om den berygtede outlaw Ed Watson og den hårde isolation, der formede regionen. Besøg Smallwood Store er som at gå tilbage i tiden - gæster søger historie, mysterium og en dybere forbindelse til folket i Everglades. Det er en sjælden chance for at se den menneskelige side af swampen, og en kraftfuld følgesvend oplevelse til dyrelivet og økologi fremvises på safarien.
Nyd en uforglemmelig 60-minutters bådtur i hjertet af Everglades National Park, der starter fra kanten af Chokoloskee Bay. Glide gennem en labyrint af mangrove skove og kyststrande i de ti tusinde øer, hvor land og hav blur i en fantastisk visning af naturlig skønhed. Din kaptajn, en lokal ekspert, deler fascinerende indsigt i Everglades' unikke økologi og regionens rige historie. Hold øjnene åbne for Atlantic bottlenose delfiner, manatees, hajer, og en række kystfugle som ospreys, herons, og roseate spoonbills. Denne fredelige tur gennem Florida's fjerntliggende bagvand tilbyder tætte møder med dyreliv og en dybere forståelse for et af de mest forskelligartede økosystemer i Nordamerika - et roligt men spændende højdepunkt for dagens eventyr.

We had a fantastic full day experience with this company which is recommended for their ecological approach. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative and led the nature walk, which was short but really interesting. We also had an airboat ride, a boat ride where we saw several pods of dolphin and many beautiful birds, and a delicious lunch. Toilet stops were frequent, as was the chance to top up water bottles. A brilliant experience.
Thank you for the great review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glad you enjoyed the full-day experience and the variety—from the walk to the airboat and mangroves. Sounds like wildlife showed up with dolphins and birds. We appreciate you noting the pacing and stops along the way. Thanks for coming out with us!
This was a great experience! Our guide (Reza) was insightful about the history of the area, the biology and able to make this entire day entertaining. Two boat rides! Alligators! Dolphins!! And all of the birds you never knew you needed to see!
Exceeded our expectations. Mark did a phenomenal job sharing insights/history/bird and wildlife knowledge with great enthusiasm. The air boat, walk, lunch and boat tour were excellent. Well worth the money spent for a day in the Everglades!
It was a very busy day but it is an awesome experience. You get to do so much and Mark, our guide was excellent.
Our family had a wonderful time on this full day (8:30 am to 5:30 pm) tour of the Everglades. It included shuttle service from a Miami hotel, airboat ride in the Everglades, a short nature hike, lunch, and a boat tour of a few of the ten thousand islands. We saw an array of birds, alligators, manatees, and dolphins. Our tour guide, Reza, knew all the birds and pointed them out to us along the way. The kids had fun checking them off on a checklist they were given. Reza was so knowledgeable kind and a very good driver (we were in a 13 passenger van). We highly recommend this tour.
This tour was amazing and we especially appreciated the hotel pick up and drop off, made it so much easier. They were right on time. Had a text the day before to confirm which was nice and given 10 minute timeframe for pick up. Addy was our guide and she was amazing. We did the half-day tour and then hour long boat ride. Perfect amount of time.
It was full day. Contact with elements, nature and amazing quide, who put all his heart. It was easy in the atmosphere to make new contacts
Proper, thorough eco-tour, with everything from ospreys to gators to dolphins. Lunch was good and Marc was a great guide!
I appreciate the feedback and am glad you enjoyed the tour!
Do not let the lack of reviews out you off. It’s part of a larger firm and not sure why this one has branched out. But Marc was amazing. Non stop talker…. In a good way. Really cares for nature and wildlife. This is a real nature tour - as in no tacky theme park it’s the wild. Airboats. Amazing. Larger ones but that didn’t distract from amazing experience. Here nice cool air. No bugs. We saw several alligators. Turtles. All sorts of birds. Amazing. Great time on the boat and felt right. Back in the air con van Marc explains everything and grass lands goto forests as you go west. One part was full of mosquitos but only one walk area. Here Marc had bee keeper hats but full ponchos and nuclear grade bug spray to protect us! More tours more gators and wildlife - the entire freeway is nature. Birds everywhere. They gave us a cool bird tick off list highlighting what’s rare. Amazing. Oh note the van holds around 16 people. We were a family of four and we had two other couples. Nice small lovely feel Over on the west coast the food was great at a lovely cafe where all the locals and community is strong (Everglades city). The second boat ride was amazing seeing dolphins in the wild, birds but also cheeky raccoons on raccoon island. Tristan the captain was amazing with a super chilled laid back voice. That boat holds max 8 people and they split the group 4 and 4 so we had a super personalised experience. Again great time on the boat that didn’t feel rushed. Was about perfect. Over at small wood. Lovely bit of history with again all the generations of the family still running the place. Prices were not eye gouging and sensible so we purchased various bits and bobs. Some more tacky but some lovely native Indian jewels from the local tribes that look great. Basically you won’t regret anything here. A perfect tour. We went July. Insane heat and weather BUT the trip is broken up and air con van to lovely air on the boat trips. So the heat didn’t ruin anything just wear hats and bring water. But it wasn’t intense despite the heat (!) warning in the area. Yes in ONE part the bugs were bad but the Everglades and West Island / coastal areas we had no bugs at all so don’t let anything put you off. Tristan needs his own show his voice is so chill :) Highly recommend. Also no upselling AT ALL. We tipped the captains as felt they deserved it but had no pressure or stops that tried to sell. Just a guide who was very knowledgable. Even stopping at a local gas station for us (English) was an experience seeing local fishing tackle and equipment and “Skunk Ape!!” That’s still with a photo. Loved it. Life memories here.
Amazing day out, thoroughly recommend. You see the Everglades and their animals how you should - in the wild and not performing for us humans. So many facts and insights into the different animals, habitat and history, our guide was amazing. Highlights were definitely the gator boat ride and the mangrove boat ride where we were lucky enough to have dolphins swim with us. Yes it was pricey but for a hike day out and what we saw, worth every penny!
