Everglades Eco Safaris

Bus driver arrived on time and dropped back off at scheduled time. The place we got the boat from was really nice and we got to spend some time with the kangaroos after the boat trip. Considering it was raining, the boat trip was so nice. The workers (from the bus and boat) were friendly and knowledgeable. I liked the choice of drinks onboard. Saw some cool birds and flora. There's only 2 company boats that go out so it was really quiet too and the boat was a good size. I would recommend.

We went on the afternoon Serenity Tour on what turned it to be the hottest day of the year. No worries at all. The staff was great as we comfortably cruised around and got to experience one of the most spectacular landscapes in all of Australia. The heat keep us from seeing much in the way of seeing wildlife, although our captain managed to generate substantial excitement over several nesting tawny frogmouths. We caught a brief glimpse of an azure kingfisher and a darter swimming across our path. We had to drive a ways to get here, but we all agreed, it was worth the effort.

An amazing trip. Nice air conditioned bus picked us up, took us to a beautiful eco camp, where we could see kangaroos and get a coffee before getting on the boat. Great canoeing equipment and instruction, very relaxed and easy. The guides were very knowledgeable and named the plants and gave us lots of information. We saw 2 koalas!

Our afternoon tour in October was lovely, and a great time of year to go as weather was warm but not baking hot (something to definitely consider). The commentary was amazing, a wealth of habitat information and historical stories from the area. Staff were fantastic in providing accessibility assistance for one of our party who has balance limitations when boarding, greatly appreciated. Scenery was beautiful, what an incredibly unique area. Wildlife was minimal but we did see a turtle, owl, sea eagle, ducks, pelicans and other water birds. Definitely worth the visit for a relaxing, informative afternoon with an added glass of bubbly. Thank you.

The canoe tour was much harder than first thought. Partly due to my misconception of a canoe vs kayak (🤪). But made for a good family adventure even though it almost killed my Dad (poor old bugger). Our guide was great with lots of local knowledge particularly about the historical use of the area and indigenous peoples. Wildlife was scarce (perhaps due the heat) but a lace monitor made a guest appearance. As we made your way back to the Lodge a storm was rolling in which made for great photos. The beer at the Ecolodges brewery/pub was well deserved, cold and delicious. Advice: Dont plan for a gym workout the day you book. Take plenty of water. Bring a zippy/waterproof bag for yr phone) and have a hardy breakfast because the feed is super slim (muffin, mandarine and juice). Cons: $175pp was a bit rich for the food we received thus 4 stars. The life vests STANK of many that have come before (makes me feel sick just reflecting on them eggghh).

Probably the greatest experience in Australia we have had! Peter was our skipper and he was so well informative and funny the whole time. Showed us some special birds like the tawnyfrogged mouth and it's babies. Saw a baby koala. On our canoe portion my boyfriend and I saw a Kingfisher with a fish in its mouth. The whole experience was well worth the money. We actually just camped at the everglades eco for 2 nights. Highly recommend and should do it again.

The day out with Eco Safaris exploring the Everglades was fantastic! Fuss-free & fun. Tour guides were very accommodating and knowledgeable. Definitely would recommend this!

Five stars for this safari! Plenty of beverages were handed out including beer, wine and juice. We saw a koala, whistling ducks, pelicans, darter, cormorant and an osprey. The water is very clear and acts like a mirror. Rhe short walking tour was very informative also. I would recommend this tour as Trev and Jan were exceptional!
