Fun experience! - Our guide was very knowledgeable and best part, we got to see a gator, blue herons and a few other birds. Teenagers enjoyed the animal encounters - we got to hold a baby gator, touch a ball python and a turtle. Kat, the animal care taker was very patient and answered a lot of questions.

This was absolutely a... - This was absolutely a great time, my kids loved it. We had Captain Nick and he was very knowledgeable about the wildlife. We saw an alligator and some wild birds. We also loved spending time in the exhibit after our airboat ride! We pet an alligator, and a box turtle.

Fun Outing - We had a great time learning about alligators and exploring what the Everglades had to offer. The entire staff was amazing and did a great job answering questions. Shoutout to Andrew for a great tour on the. Airboat.

Not the best but worth the money - Pros: Affordable airboat tour of Everglades. Easy to find as it is right at the guest office of the Sawgrass Recreational Center. Friendly and accommodating staff. Cons: we have not seen any alligators 🐊 in the wild although our captain tried to spot some. Kids were excited to pet the baby alligators that were supposed to be in the zoo, but the closest show was more than 1.5 hours away so we did not wait. Overall it was a nice speedy ride on the airboat and a little zoological center that’s available afterwards. It was worth the $39/person we spent (as opposed to $125/person private boats charge), but I probably would not want to see it again.

Everglades ride - When they say that the boat is at 2:PM....it is really at 2:30 so plan accordingly. They want to give you time in the gift shop

Friendly staff but very touristy - It was very anti climactic. The airboat ride was very “commercial” and went exactly a few hundred yards. The little walk around area was a little hinky and just kind of bland. This is really just an over priced tourist trap. On the plus side the people who worked there were all very friendly. If you want to really see the Everglades I would just spend a few hundred bucks on a private air boat tour but if you are looking for a 20-30 minute pretty bland air boat ride around the canal and power lines and another 20-30 minutes at most to walk around and see some reptiles then this is definitely the place for you. Once again on the positive side all of the staff were super friendly so a huge thank you to them.

Viator accepted our booking on Christmas Day & the activity was closed - Viator accepted our booking on Christmas Day when the Everglades airboat tour & wildlife show was closed. We went all the way there. Unfortunate Viator representative kept mentioning that the tour is on but after waiting for a long time when we called the Everglades phone, we were told they are closed for Christmas & they had mentioned all their vendors about this a long ago. Viator should never have accepted our booking in the first place. This was a bad experience & we are waiting for our refund.
