Whether you are an amateur or a professional, this Private Photo Safari is the best way to photograph Everglades National Park’s wildlife. A very stable, flat-decked power boat is your shooting platform. Using an electric trolling motor, your guide will position you for the best shots. Unlike a shared tour, on a private tour, you and your shots are our only concern. When shooting outdoors, lighting is extremely important. Lighting is best in the mornings and late afternoons. We depart before sunrise in the morning to be in position as soon as there is enough light to shoot. In the evening, we return after sunset. Since sunrise and sunset times vary throughout the year, we will contact you prior to your tour to arrange the actual meet time. Our guides are on the water every day, year-round and have a good idea of the wildlife patterns. They can get you in position while the lighting is good. Note: June through October, we suggest the morning experiences due to the weather.

Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the photo safari? Is there anything specific that's recommended?

A: Dress in layers since mornings can be cool but it heats up later. Lightweight, breathable clothes are best. Don’t forget a hat and sunglasses for sun protection! And definitely wear non-slip shoes for safety on the boat.

Q: Is this experience suitable for kids? What age would you recommend?

A: This tour is generally family-friendly, but I’d say kids 10 and up would enjoy it the most. They’ll appreciate the wildlife and the photography aspect. Just keep in mind that it can be a long outing, so bring snacks!

Q: How does rescheduling work if the weather's bad?

A: If the weather isn't cooperating, you can reschedule without any issues. They’ll reach out ahead of time to make sure you’re all set for the best conditions. Just keep an eye on your email!

Had the best time on the Private Everglades Photo Safari!

I just got back from the Private Everglades 10,000 Islands Photo Safari, and I can't recommend it enough! Our guide was a Master Naturalist and really knew his stuff. We saw so many birds and even got to take some amazing photos with the best lighting! The boat was super stable, which was great for me as I’m not the best at balancing. It’s pricey but worth every cent if you love nature and photography!

Thinking of gifting the Everglades Photo Safari! Any tips?

I’m considering this as a gift for my boyfriend’s birthday! He’s into photography and loves nature. Just wondering if anyone has done this before? What’s the best time of year to go? And how much time do you need to really enjoy it?
