Everglades tours and safaris in the Everglades National Park

12/09/2025

A lot of folks ask what the best way is to truly see the Everglades. There are plenty of options out there, but if you want to experience the swamp the way locals have for generations — this is it.

We’re excited to share that Everglades Adventure Tours was just featured in an article about Gladesmen culture and Old Florida heritage. It’s an honor to be part of preserving and sharing this story.

For over ten years, our family has been offering slow, intimate guided tours through the Big Cypress Swamp — showing visitors the wildlife, the history, and the way of life that makes this place unlike anywhere else in the world.

If you’d like a tour that’s authentic, educational, and rooted in local culture, we’d love to show you around.

The culture of the Gladesmen, a group of people living in the Everglades, is quickly disappearing and leaving behind the echoes of Old Florida.
