Overview

Our Everglades Tour is led by a real guide with over 10 years of experience in Miami. Personal connection is super important to us, that's why we keep our tour groups small to medium-sized, ensuring that every question gets answered.

We make sure no question goes unanswered! The Everglades have faced new challenges over time, from urban development and drainage to the invasion of exotic species from the tropical rainforests of South America. We want to show you how much we care about the Everglades, and that's why we've been actively involved in protecting them for years. During this tour, we'll also share ways you can actively contribute to preserving the Everglades.

Looking forward to having you with us!
