Highlights of our 7-dayEvergladesAdventure

Nature by day,luxury by night.

Feel the wind in your hair

Take an exhilarating airboat ride into a seldom-visited area of Everglades National Park.

After a day of exploration, come home to your Tuscan-style all-suite hotel and make new discoveries at the galleries, boutiques, and restaurants in the charming heart of Old Naples.

Get your hands dirty (if you want)

Hike into a dark-water swamp with a park biologist, and kayak through leafy green mangrove tunnels into the secluded backwaters of Rookery Bay.

Over 60 miles wide and 100 miles long, you will see this slow-moving ‘river of grass’ firsthand.

Marvel at the incredible amount of wildlife to be seen from the boardwalk of the world-famous Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park.

Experience nature up close

Day 1: Arrive Naples (Ft Myers airport) / Sanibel Island: Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge

After a late-morning/early afternoon arrival into Ft Myers,

transfer to your Naples hotel before heading to lovely Sanibel Island and the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge for a sunset cruise and a festive welcome dinner.

Day 2: Naples: Naples Botanical Garden / Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary

Head out this morning to the newly-redesigned Naples Botanical Garden,

where you will get a behind-the-scenes look at a gopher tortoise colony and learn about native and invasive species, orchids, and ethnobotany. After a picnic lunch and free time in the gardens, drive to the legendary Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, known for the alligators, wood storks, and other indig-enous species that inhabit this soaring old-growth cypress forest.

Day 3: Everglades National Park: Anhinga Trail / Winery Tour

This morning drive to the eastern Ever-glades for a leisurely exploration of the

famous Anhinga Trail. An astonishing number of species may be seen in this area during the dry season, when the water level recedes elsewhere in the park. In the early afternoon, head to Schnebly Redland’s Winery for lunch and a tour of the lovely facilities, where award-winning wines are pro-duced from such diverse produce as kiwi, star fruit, and avocados.

Day 4: Rookery Bay: Calusa Archaeology & Mangrove Kayaking

This morning, meet up with a local archaeologist to investigate a

well-preserved Calusa Indian shell-mound site, and learn more about this culturally complex hunting-fishing-gathering society. After lunch,

The Everglades“There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, as they have always

been, one of the unique regions of the earth, remote, never wholly known. Nothing anywhere else is like them: their vast glittering openness, wider than the enormous visible round of the horizon, the racing free saltness and sweetness of their massive winds, under the dazzling blue heights of space.”-- From Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, River of Grass

Your Leader & Guide

D oug received both his B.S. and M.S. in

Biology at Central Michigan University, his degrees focused on ecology, animal behavior, and conservation biology. While working on his graduate degree, Doug spent nearly 3 months of each year on a Na-ture Conservancy preserve observing migra-tory behavior and habitat use of long distance migrants in Michigan’s wild Upper Peninsula. Graduate school offered the opportunity to work as a teaching and research assistant, where he discovered the joy of leading others into the field to share different aspects of the natural world. Alaska and all her rugged beauty beckoned Doug since childhood. In 1999 he packed up his truck and his trusty Siberian husky “Koda”

and drove north to Alaska. Landing in the small town of Talkeetna he found the people and surroundings to be a perfect match. He has been working as a naturalist in Denali National Park since 1999. Doug considers Kantishna and Denali National Park his summer home. Recent opportunities to lead trips for Orbridge to South Florida’s Everglades, and The Gala-pagos Islands, Ecuador have brought Doug to places on the globe he had always dreamed about. Being able to step in Darwin’s footprints of history on the shores of the Galapagos Islands, or ply the diverse ecosystems of South Florida is a naturalists dream come true. In re-cent years Doug has also worked as a naturalist in both Baja, Mexico and in Southeast Alaska. Only time will tell where he’ll end up next.

If your reservation is made less than 90 days prior to departure, the entire cost of the program is due at the time of registration by check, money order, or wire transfer ONLY. If final payments are not received at least 90 days prior to the scheduled program departure date, the booking will be subject to a 2% per week late payment penalty and Orbridge reserves the right to cancel the booking at Orbridge’s sole discretion.

c. Cancellations, and Refunds All cancellations must be submitted to Orbridge in writing, and will be subject to a cancellation fee as follows: (a) if the cancellation notice is received by Orbridge 151 or more days prior to the scheduled departure date, the cancellation fee will be $500 per person/per program (including any extensions); (b) if the cancellation notice is received by Orbridge between 150 and 91 days prior to the scheduled departure date the cancellation fee will be $850 (forfeiture of the full deposit); (c) if the cancellation notice is received by Orbridge 90 or fewer days prior to the scheduled departure date, the cancellation fee will be the full program price. A 100% cancellation charge applies to all internal air canceled at any time prior to departure, where applicable. Refunds, if any due will be processed within 30 days of Orbridge receiving written cancellation.

d. Travel InsuranceOrbridge strongly recommends that you purchase travel and cancellation insurance to protect yourself from unexpected circumstances that may cause you to cancel your trip. In addition, we recommend you consider obtaining a policy that will cover some of your losses associated with damage or loss of luggage or personal effects. If you do not have and are interested in travel and cancellation insurance please contact us immediately during registration.

e. Cancelled ProgramsOrbridge reserves the right to cancel any program prior to departure for any rea-son whatsoever, including insufficient participation or logistical problems that may impede program operations. The refund of all program price payments received shall release Orbridge from any further liability. A program with insufficient participation would normally be cancelled a minimum of 90 days prior to departure. Orbridge makes substantial payments to its suppliers (hotels, transportation companies, etc) far in advance of the scheduled program departure date. If a program is cancelled due to force majeure (e.g. acts of God, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, etc). Orbridge will promptly refund the portion of the program price not already advanced to suppliers and use its best efforts to recover and refund the balance as promptly as possible. However, Orbridge does not guarantee recovery of any or all of the advance payments made, and its use of best efforts to recover these payments will not include the institution of any legal proceedings in foreign jurisdictions outside of Washington State. Orbridge is not responsible for any expenses incurred by program participants in preparing for a cancelled program (e.g. non-refundable advance pur-chase air tickets, visa fees, medical expenses, equipment, etc.) or for any additional arrangements should the program participant have embarked prior to the scheduled group departure date.

f. Itineraries Accommodations (hotel or vessel) and arranged excursions are subject to change at any time due to unforeseen circumstances or circumstances beyond Orbridge’s con-trol. Every effort will be made to operate programs as planned, but alterations may occur after the final itinerary has been issued. Orbridge reserves the right to withdraw a program or any part of it, to make such alterations to the itinerary or program inclu-sions as it deems necessary or desirable, and to pass on to program members any expenditures or losses caused by delays or events beyond its control. Orbridge also reserves the right to withdraw or modify a program if required by the tour operator with whom Orbridge has contracted.

g. Not IncludedUnless otherwise specifically noted in the itinerary, program prices do not include the following expenses, which if applicable are your responsibility: trip cancellation insurance and passenger travel protection plan; domestic, international, and internal airfares; transfers and luggage handling except in connection with scheduled group flights; costs associated with obtaining passports or entry visas; airport departure taxes; airline ticketing fees; airport transfers when arriving/departing on other than scheduled group dates; excess baggage charges; any new value added taxes or GST taxes added to program costs by foreign governments; gratuities to drivers, guides, or ship’s crew; meals and beverages other than those specified as being included free of charge in the itinerary; sightseeing not included in the itinerary; personal expenses such as laundry, communication charges and optional activities (which are subject to availability); and ship, air, or transportation fuel surcharges, if applicable.

You must be in good physical and mental health. You agree that you have no physical, mental or other condition of disability that would create a hazard for yourself or other passen-gers or otherwise negatively impact other passengers. Orbridge reserves the right to decline to accept anyone that it considers unsuitable due to fitness level. Orbridge

also reserves the right to remove from the program, at the participant’s own expense, anyone whose condition is such that it could create a hazard to himself or herself or others, or otherwise impact the enjoyment of other passengers on the program. Any physical condition requiring special attention, diet, or treatment must be reported in writing when the reservation is made. Should you have any questions or need any clar-ification about a specific program, please ask for details at the time of registration.

i. Travel Advisories and WarningsIt is the responsibility of each guest to become informed about the most current travel advisories and warnings by visiting the U. S. State Department’s travel website at http://www.travel.state.gov or contacting the U.S. State Department directly. In the event of an active State Department Travel Warning against travel to the specific des-tination location(s) of the program, should the Guest choose to travel to the location anyway, without limiting any other liability exclusion provisions in these Terms, you assume all risk of personal injury, death or property damage that may arise out of the events that are the same or similar to those advised or warned against.

j. Baggage Program rates include the handling of two pieces of baggage per person during the land or cruise program. Weight restrictions on some routes on internal air flights may apply. Your baggage and personal effects are at your own risk throughout the travel program. Please check with your international carrier for other baggage restrictions applicable to international flights.

k. Travel DocumentsFor U.S. citizens, valid passports are required for travel to foreign destinations and some countries require specific visas prior to entry. Check with Orbridge with any questions, but it remains your responsibility to verify that you have all the appropriate travel documents for your nationality and sufficient blank pages in your passport for visas and immigration stamps. Orbridge is not liable for any expenses or costs arising from a traveler being prohibited from entering a country scheduled to be visited on a program or from being prohibited reentry into the United States.

l. Photos and VideosOrbridge and its designated representatives or tour operators reserve the right to take photographs or videos during any program or tour and to use the resulting pho-tography which may include images of you for promotional purposes.

m. ArbitrationAny controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any services or products offered or obtained through Orbridge, including without limitation any claim related to bodily injury, death or property damage, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Seattle, Washington in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then existing, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the controversy.

n. ResponsibilitiesNeither Orbridge (or any sponsoring organization), nor any of its respective em-ployees, members, managers, shareholders, officers or directors (collectively, the “Orbridge Group”) own or operate any entity which does or will provide goods or services for your program. Orbridge Group purchases transportation, hotel and other lodging accommodations, restaurant, ground handling and other services from vari-ous independent suppliers, all of whom are independent contractors. The Orbridge Group shall not be liable for any injury, expenses or costs arising from any services, or lack thereof, provided by any independent supplier or other third party, nor the standards of care which you experience when using those services. In addition and without limitation, the Orbridge Group shall not be liable for any injury, loss, death, inconvenience, delay or damage to personal property in connection with the provi-sion of any goods or services, including without limitation those whether resulting from acts of God or force majeure, illness, disease, acts of war, civil unrest, insurrec-tion or revolt, animals, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, overbooking or downgrading of services, food poisoning, mechanical or other failure of aircraft, vessels or other means of transportation or for failure of any means of transportation to arrive or depart on time. Dates, program details and costs, although given in good faith and based on tariffs, exchange rates and other information current at the time of printing, are subject to change at or before the time of departure. While we do not anticipate material revisions of the itinerary or its included features, we do reserve the right to substitute accommodations or modes of transportation and to make any changes in the itinerary where deemed necessary, and in that case any additional expenses will be paid by the individual guest. Where applicable, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Orbridge Group (whether in contract, warranty, tort (including but not limited to negligence), product liability, strict liability or other theory) arising out of or relating to the use of services exceed the amount you actually paid Orbridge for the program or tour out of which the claim arose. Your baggage and personal effects are your sole responsibility at all times. There are many inherent risks in travel, which can lead to illness, injury, or even death. These risks are increased by the fact that some of the programs we book take place in remote locations, far from medical facilities. You assume all such risks associated with participating in this program.

Acceptance of Contract: ANY PAYMENT TO ORBRIDGE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DEPOSITS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT HEREIN AND IN MORE SPECIFIC TOUR DOCUMENTS.
