Overview of your Miami tour

Your private tour begins with a brief history of how the Everglades has been under threat by farming, cattle, water management systems, and housing developers, so today, there is less than 20% remaining wildlife habitat. Over 28 years, I have seen a lot of promises made, and broken, by various government and private organizations! Your airboat ride includes a professional captain, and also shared with other passengers. Your ride will be about 30-45 minutes long. The airboat captain will search for alligators, turtles, and many species of wild birds. During your visit you will see various exhibits and displays, depending on the airboat park selected. You have great opportunities to safely take close-up photos of alligators, turtles, snakes, iguanas, and many other species. You also learn about a plan to restore the wetlands' habitat and clean the water, as well as find out if there is enough time to save our environment and which species are already in peril.

Steven did a professional job and I had a great time. Highly recommended!

This tour was just perfect. It was an in-depth and informative presentation about the FL Everglades, past and present. Our guide, Steven, was professional, punctual and extremely knowledgeable about the history, animals, vegetation, water, current events and geography. To assist in conveying the information, his photo slides were stellar and greatly enhanced our understanding of the area. The airboat tour was the icing on the cake with several alligator, osprey and heron sightings. Not to be missed!

Steve was easy going and very informative. He showed us a part of Ft Lauderdale that was very interesting. If you like a Paul Harvey type "rest of the story" you will enjoy this tour.

Steve is so enthusiastic that he provides power point notes/photos which he uses in his car to supplement the story he is telling. His depth of knowledge is incredible. We not only saw Fort Lauderdale we learned how it came into being and has grown through the ages. The Everglades airboat tour was delightful and skilfully organised as was the visit to the Sawgrass Recreation Park and Charity Alligator Sanctuary. Steve knew everybody, wherever we went, and was able to fast track access.

We had a very comfortable trip to the Everglades. Steven gave us a good background to the history of the Everglades. The boat trip was fun and we saw 2 alligators and lots of colourful birds. The animal sanctuary on the site was fascinating and the animals obviously well cared for and happy. Steven is well informed as to the plans to ensure the area and the animal habitat is preserved for future generations. A very interesting trip.
