Everyday, Everglades Excursions' comfortable safari wagons depart from Naples and Marco Island and transport passengers into a world ruled by wildlife. The safari first zips through the Ten Thousand Islands and its dense layers of mangrove trees before cruising into the jungle that is Everglades National Park. Passengers soak up information from the tour's guide along the way while looking for alligators, manatees, dolphins, and even Florida panthers in their natural habitats, which is much safer than running into them at a local cafe. In addition to these national sanctuaries, safaris pass several other iconic sites, including the Rod and Gun Club, where Teddy Roosevelt and other U.S. Presidents have often retreated for vacation.
