Memorable sunset tour - We had a great experience at the sunset tour and saw many birds, a beautiful sunset and some gators. Well guided by captain JJ, who told us some interesting facts about the alligators behaviour.

Excellent family adventure! - Had a great trip guided by JJ. He was a very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting guide. He sensed that we were interested in the birds and plants and made an effort to tell us about them. The ride was tons of fun and so beautiful! Two hours went by quickly!

Great Tour - Captain JJ was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and vegetation and also knew where all the gators would be sunning themselves. This was a great tour and two hours was plenty of time. One caveat though, the airboat supposedly holds nine people...apparently four on each of the bench seats and one next to Captain JJ. We had eight average size adults and it was fairly uncomfortable for the seat with the four adults. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing tour with an experienced Captain providing multiple alligator sightings! - Positive experience from booking through the tour itself. Great communication, including an introductory/additional details message from Captain Bill the day before. We were celebrating my sons' 16th birthday and Captain Bill delivered far beyond our expectations, allowing us to see multiple alligators up close! We all very much appreciated Captain Bill's care in providing a safe and memorable tour. His expansive knowledge, respect and passion for the alligators and the Everglades ecosystem made our tour a truly incredible experience! Highly recommend!

Fantastic tour with Captain Bill - Captain Bill is phenomenal. He's not only extraordinarily experienced and knowledgeable, but also a friendly and engaging guide. Our family of seven had a wonderful time and we hope to return some day.

Very fun trip - JJ was great! He managed to find a giant male as well as a couple females. We also saw alot of birds and ducks. The ride was smooth and quite thrilling as we glided over the tall grass.

Captain Bill Ferris knows the Everglades! - Captain Bill Ferris was generous in sharing his deep knowledge of the Everglades. Three family members took a two-hour tour on one of the coldest days (30's-40's) in the Everglades, and therefore much of the wildlife was "hiding" despite the clear skies. This was not the fault of the captain. We saw three alligators, lots of herons, non-native but beautiful swamp hens, ibis, coots, etc. and a rare siting of an otter.
In cold weather, dress for staying warm, with many layers, hats, gloves, and windbreakers.
