Airboat and pilot for Glades visit

I have a niece who is a jock and outdoors lady. She is coming in for 2 days from Oregon and top of her list is seeing the Everglades.
Found a company with an hour trip and big boats.
But was hoping to find one of the small 4 person boats and a guide who knows what they are doing.
Any suggestions? Done this recently, and had a good experience ?
Thanks for the help

This isn't the best time of the year to visit the Glades. The heat, humidity and bugs would make it a very unpleasant experience. The best time is in the winter. However, YMMV.

The Withlacoochee is not to bad at this time maybe something like that? See lots of our boats going up and down

I should have mentioned that she is coming in next month for a business seminar. So time of year is not an option.
Also, I am SE and after the Glades she is going to see Miami etc.
thx all
