Anhinga Trail Tours

Okay. A few things that are a NEED TO KNOW before you go! I would like to say that this was GREAT! The self guided tour is really really easy to follow. And it’s super informative. So we never got lost or anything. It’s literally step by step. Here are the tips: 1) Download the Action Tour Guide on WiFi at your hotel etc. Do this before you go! 2) You will receive an OTP Code emailed to you. For some reason I received two. The 1st one was for Acadia Maine. The 2nd was the correct one. Obviously the Maine one was not correct as I wanted the Florida Everglades - Luckily you can email Action Tour Guide and they respond fast. 3) After App Installed - you will put in that OTP code 4) DO NOT start at the suggested starting point - this is a Bus Depot. Just put in your GPS Ernest F Coe Visiting Center. This is your starting point. **you do need to pay to get into the park” in addition to what this costs. 5) BUG SPRAY A MUST - Kept me big free for the most part 6) Mosquitos at Flamingo ARE THE WORST- THEY WILL ATTACK no joke! 7) One way in, One way out so prepare to go to the end and turn around. 8) MOST IMPORTANT TO KNOW: GPS DEAD halfway through this tour! We were both in SOS for a good 45 minutes in and out of this park.This is a great time !’ Definitely must do!

Was worth every penny! Bring mosquito repellent.

It was great and the gps and guidance knew where we were the entire time. Saved so much money by doing this instead of a tour guide. We also loved all the side stories told.

We love to explore and these audio tours made our trip less stressful and very enjoyable not to mention we learned about the area through fun stories and information you wouldn’t otherwise get. I love that we could skip around and the audio tours made our was exactly where we were. I would definitely recommend. Looking forward to doing the other tours in our package.

Great app, Informative and entertaining as you travel the lower everglades. This is well worth the price. Just make sure to download before going and figure out how to use the app by watching the videos before you start

Very interesting trip. Saw a huge alligator in the park

Once we got through the park gates there was an abundance of birds and critters in the road, lubbers, same family as cricket family. Saw soft shell turtles, one digging a nest for eggs, large bird of prey which couldn’t identify, had small snake in its beak, wandered through one of the stops, oki poki, we then seen a Blue Herron, which we thought we startled and it flew away quite dramatically, to which we looked down where the Herron was, and a alligator was lying in the water, which we think the herron had a lucky escape!, We stayed in flamingo lodge where they had built rooms from shipping containers, beds were squeaky and uncomfortable but everything else was fine. Just watch for mosquitoes as they’re in abundance even with repellent, good drive in and out, great roads and the app was fantastic as told all you needed to know about the Everglades. 5 ⭐️

Enjoyed the information. Would have liked even more detail. It was nice as my husband wasn’t up to stopping at the trails so made the drive much more pleasant

Really good. Easy to follow and interesting. The location finder was accurate so the narration always matched where we were.

Good info. Could be even more provided.

A beautiful and flexible tour of the Everglades. I like that you can do them at your own pace and not have to hit all the points. Good value for money.

It was helpful to have the guide explain the aspects of the trip.

The tour was informative and gave you plenty of warning before stops. The tour had correct information on the type of trail each trail was. Take the detours they are worth the extra time. Some took me longer then the tour said they would. I suggest downloading the tour and looking it over a head of time to figure out what stops you absolutely want to do. Also the Nike Missile site turn is on the road to the Royal Palm visitor center. I took the tour the National Park offers for free. It is 1.5 - 2 hours very informative the guide was awesome. Well worth the the extra time

Well done and very informative.

This audio guide worked great for us. The only issue is finding the starting point, but you can just put in Robert Is Here Fruit Stand and start the tour, and it will sync with your location. It uses GPS and always knows where you are so no need to stop and start. It helped us choose which hikes to do (we skipped the two longest ones). It also advised us that one was closed. I recommend this guide!

The meeting point is really the starting point for your journey, not an actual destination.Narrator has a pleasant voice. Interesting facts, with time between narration to discuss what you learned and to enjoy the scenery.
