Highlights of Everglades Day Safari Certification: Everglades Day Safari was visited by two separate Florida SEE Assessors who participated in the day long safari. "We met our guide in Estero to begin our all day adventure. Our guide had a wealth of knowledge which she shared throughout the day. There weren’t many questions that she couldn’t answer! Our guide kept us on pace to be able to do everything that was scheduled, yet we didn’t feel rushed at all. Throughout the course of the day we did a nature walk, a nature van tour (saw lots of birds and alligator “action”), a 90 minute pontoon boat ride (my personal favorite, with the chance to see some white pelicans resting on an island alongside our local brown pelicans which looked SO small next to the whites!), lunch at a local restaurant in Everglades City (provided & enjoyed), and an airboat tour. Even though the driving seemed a bit long at times, at the end of the day it was totally worth it. It gave us a chance to share together and, at times, the ride time gave us a chance to quietly reflect on all we had experienced over the course of the day, before we rushed back to our sometimes, too busy lives.
