Testimonials
We stumbled upon the Everglades Florida Adventures tour when we visited the small Gulf National Park center. The time offered for the tour fit our schedule perfectly so we signed up. The experience was one of the high points of our Florida vacation. The boat was comfortable, and the crew was skilled and knowledgeable. They told us what to look for and where to look. On this trip we saw several dolphins, a flock of brown pelicans, a royal tern, and a manatee and her calf. We learned about the history and the ecology of this area as well. We really felt that our tour with Everglades Florida Adventures was time and money well spent, and we would book another on our next visit to the Everglades.
