Summary:
Spent my 67th birthday in the Everglades. Captain Willy is very knowledgeable in regards to the "River of Grass." He has respect for the alligators as well as all the animals that call the Everglades home. We felt safe despite the boat being surrounded by alligators!! If we get a chance we will return to the Glades.
