We had an AMAZING trip! This is my second time running this trip and Katie at ETC made the changes I asked for which increased the trip experience exponentially! We saw so many alligators at Shark Valley because we went in the morning rather than the afternoon which worked out great! We changed our airboat company and they were fabulous, very informative and truly educational! Flamingo Gardens and the 10,000 Islands boat tour were good, educational and interesting but the other day in the Everglades was just far superior. Going down to the Keys was amazing, snorkeling was phenomenal and the kids definitely needed the 2 days to get comfortable with the idea since only 2 had ever done it before. Food gets a 4/5 only because our first dinner was not great but the food the remainder of the time was outstanding! The driver and tour director are second to none, you will not regret taking your students on this tour!!!!

Our daughter really enjoyed all the excursions and swimming they planned. It was a busy packed five days but well worth it!

The trip was great to take students to see a national park and experience ecology in a area much different from our own location. The students got to experience some great opportunities such as seeing alligator's from an air boat ride, and snorkling in a coral reef. I would go back with students any time.

Overall, it was a good trip and we had a wonderful time. Because we left the hotel early every morning and returned late, my suggestion would be to ensure a rest day is included. For the dinner option, my suggestion is to try different restaurants. We should not be subjected to eat at the same buffet every time.

Trip was good, wasn't impressed with the changing of times for shopping. Also did not appreciate the constant undertone of Christian beliefs as I and a few others are not religious.
