Watch out for summer afternoons

Disappointed to learn at the last minute that on summer afternoons, it's impossible to see the alligators… Fortunately, the sanctuary tour allowed us to have a very good time with the guides!

Top excursion!

We really liked Sawgrass Recreation Park. I have been there twice now, and I am going for a third time in October. During the tour, we saw alligators and other animals as well. The guides provide a lot of interesting information without it becoming boring, and the whole thing is organized in a relaxed and entertaining way. The staff members are very friendly, and the excursion is also absolutely fair in terms of price. I can definitely recommend it.

Fun for whole family

This was a fun and informative ride through the Everglades! We saw one mama protecting her nest, but it was hot and the alligators don’t come out much in the heat. The reptile encounter was also really neat with a presentation.
