Traveler reviews
Great adventure
Only saw 1 alligator but everyone in my group really enjoyed this adventure
Neat Trip!
Really interesting trip. Always wanted to do air boat and see Everglades. Family and kids loved it. The grandkids loved the wildlife encounters after the air boat.
Family fun
Great scenery. Knowledgeable guide. Didn’t see many alligators but there are no guarantees in the wild. Overall a safe and fun experience.
Excellent Experience
This was so much fun! Our family loved it! Our guide was very informative and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
I want to do this again someday!
It's not guaranteed that you will see alligators while on the boat, but, they do have an animal exhibit that you can visit that has more than just alligators. We had to wait a couple hours to go due to the storm, safety first, but it was well worth the wait! We did see a few gators in their natural habitat, which was amazing. Definitely memories my kids will have for life!
