Everglades Airboat Safari Adventure

It was an amazing experience my family really enjoyed it. I think the show was the best part. It was great

We arrived early and the staff was very kind, but the building was in rough shape and not clean. Ceiling was caving in and spider webs were all over the ceiling. We were made to think it was a double decker bus, but loaded up in vans. We get to the tour and were told we would have less than an hour to explore (all of us were under the impression we would have between 2-3 hours since they advertised 5 hours and it took almost an hour to get there and get back). The Everglades tour faculty was again nice, but that’s where it stopped. We were loaded on the boat and were told of areas to look for the gators, but it was lack luster. You run along the same path has all the other boats, so all animals disappeared. We knew that there was no guarantee to see animals and were ok with it, but the tour and commentary from the Guide was lackluster. We were out for maybe 30 minutes (instead of what we thought was 40-60 minutes) came back and saw the reptile show. The Guide was nice and showed a few things, but was done in about 15 minutes. The speakers in the reptile show did not work and was hard to hear some. Bathrooms were in need of repair and we had zero time to look around before being put back on the vans. The driver of our van definitely was speeding and prepare for whiplash. Tips were mentioned NUMEROUS times, which we normally give, but not this time. Overall it felt very much like false advertisement. I would strongly recommend spending the money on a private tour or trying out Holiday Tours instead! It stinks that we were only in town for the day and this was for my husbands birthday. Better luck next time ! Everyone in our van felt the same way.

Came here at the end of July 26 with my wife and 4 children...WOW!!! What an experience! The air boat ride was exhilarating and so fulfilling. We got to see 4 gators along with various other wildlife (birds, turtles and fish). This was a bucket list trip for me and when the boat got speeding and drifting I could not believe I was experiencing it. Our captain, John, was very friendly, funny and informative. The wildlife show after was fantastic, delivered by Tom. He made it such an interactive and humourous presentation. Our kids were so fascinated by the huge predators on show on such close proximity and how Tom interacted with them. The transport to and from was great. A large transit van with air con taking 50 mins either side. We would definitely recommend this and is great value. We have been in Florida for 2 weeks now and this has by far been a big highlight!

Great value trip. Price ($47) included bus transport from Tourist office in South Beach 50 minutes there and back & entry to the Gator park. Airboat through everglades lasted 30 mins (scheduled 20 mins). We saw 3 gators close up with opportunity to take photos. Skipper Dan was amazing calling them out to see us. Finished with 30 minutes in outdoor seated lecture area where John explained their behaviour & history in the area and there were 3 more captive gators & a baby salt water crocodile! Gift Shop at the end with nice souvenirs & some coffee, snacks & ice creams. Well done everyone there on a great visit.

Great trip! Travel to and from on an air-conditioned bus, great tour guide on the airboat and great informational show Got to see plenty of wildlife.
