Absolutely beautiful scenery and amazing guide. It was the end of the season so we didn’t see any alligators as the water was too salty for them but still saw lots of birds and the guide told us lots of interesting stories about the area.

This was a bucket list trip for us and was absolutely brilliant. The guide was so knowledgeable, friendly and put us all at ease! 10/10 would recommend and would absolutely do again if we were ever back in Florida!
