Traveler reviews
Amazing Experience
We booked the night tour at Sawgrass for the 5 of us (2x adults and 3x children) and had an amazing time, we were taken out in a large airboat onto the water and saw birds of prey, aligators including babies and frogs. It was a great experience that I would definately reccomend and hope to do again.
Great Experience
Our visit to Sawgrass Recreation Park was nothing short of fantastic! From start to finish, the experience was well organized, exciting, and memorable. The highlight of the trip was definitely the night airboat tour. Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the Everglades while keeping things fun and engaging. He made a point to interact with guests throughout the ride, which really added a personal touch to the experience. Most importantly, we felt completely safe and well taken care of the entire time. And the wildlife did not disappoint—the gators were active and “cooperating,” making for some thrilling and up-close moments you won’t forget. Seeing them in their natural habitat at night added a whole new level of excitement. If you’re in the area, this tour is an absolute must. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, education, and unforgettable Florida scenery!
Fun time
This was a great experience. David was very informative and we were able to several alligators 🐊. It was neat to see the Everglades and the animals in their habitat.
How did he spot that gator???
This was a fun ride at night and we couldn’t believe how Captain Disco spotted gators in the dark from hundreds of yards away with his spotlight. He was full of great gator facts. Would definitely suggest this tour with Captain Disco!
Night airboat tour
We had a great time! We saw 5 alligators and learned more about the wildlife of the everglades. Captain Adam was well informed and was a great guide.
