I was able to book through Jack on the phone who was very helpful and accomplished. Ralph was my guide He was wonderful, calm energy matching with the peace and magic of the place. I booked the private photography tour. I loved the authentic gladesmen boat, that we used. It was large and stable, I could lay down or stand up to take pictures without a problem. Most importantly I felt very safe. At first I was very concerned about entering the natural habitat of those huge alligators. I seriously thought that could be dangerous. Ralph informed me prior the Eco Tour. Those Florida Alligators are naturally afraid of humans and they stay away from us, at the exception of those who have been fed by human hand. Those can be dangerous but remain rare. The larger the alligator is, the more experienced it is and therefore it knows that human are up to know good and it’s best to stay away from us. During my 3 hour tour I have encountered 6 alligators and felt very safe. I wanted to share, that those alligators in the Everglades are different from Australian Crocodiles. In Australia they see humans as preys not as predators and they will hunt us. That s probably where my fear to do this tour came from. Once fully informed I felt very reassured and was able to relax and embrace this magic moment . Ralph was extremely knowledgeable about this fauna and the flora. I was fascinated about how much he knew and how wonderful is the world of the mangrove. I highly recommend his services.

Ralph was an excellent guide, good conversationalist and full of good info.
I had a great experience renting a kayak today. The staff was incredibly friendly. The store was fun to browse in, bathrooms were clean. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in SW Florida visiting. I was able to see some Gators on the river, which was a new experience for me. Hopefully next time won't be so hot.
We camped here for a day. Wonderful places....close to Everglades City and a couple of walking / driv9ng trails to see great wildlife. The tent sites are great. Would love to try a chikee hut next time.
Went on the night pole boat tour expecting to see an abundance of nocturnal wildlife only to experience an abundance of nocturnal flying insects. We spotted a few small gators, no large ones which was disappointing. Still had a great time, but not worth the money spent. Maybe a daytime trip would prove more enlightening.
