Traveler Reviews

Really enjoyed this excursion! I do recommend if doing the evening trip, plan to go by and get your bearings on location before heading that way, as it's pitch black once off the interstate. There were 4 of us - all teens or adults and we really enjoyed this airboat trip. We saw 2 larger gators and one baby one. I was glad we made plans to do this and would recommend!

What an amazing experience! Very informative and just a lot of fun!! We saw many alligators while driving through the Everglades.

Great tour for all ages! Guide was very knowledgeable. Lots of fun! We really enjoyed it. Our captain was very humorous.

Captain DJ went out of his way to find alligators. We saw baby alligator and birds. Family and friends had a lot of fun!

Had an amazing time. The guide was knowledgeable about the wildlife and did everything he could to ensure we saw up close and personal. And we did see a lot of alligators and heard the music of the frogs. The natural AC was great after a hot day. Lol.
