History of the Everglades Day Safari
The Everglades Day Safari began operation in 1992 on Sanibel Island in Florida's west coast and was the first full-day Everglades tour. The company quickly grew and in 1997 herpetologist Bob Cowlishaw purchased Everglades Day Safari and began offering tours on the east coast of Florida as well. In 2000, Everglades Day Safari added a half-day trip on the west coast called Captain Bob's Excellent Adventure, which includes a first-class airboat trip as well as an interactive reptile experience with alligators, crocodiles, turtles and indigenous and exotic snakes.

Everglades Day Safari currently has six vehicles in the fleet and continues to provide the finest Everglades eco-tours from coast to coast, year round!
