You can tell she loves what she does.. and the wildlife and flora of Florida benefit from that. We went on an airboat, a 6 seater skiff, and a wonderful nature hike. Filled up our bird sighting page almost completely . Saw more alligators than I expected (even baby ones).. and my most favorite part.. going up and down the stretch of highway looking for a manatee… and we spotted one. Highlight of my day!! Book this.. I promise you won’t regret it..”
