Great day!

Great day! Check in was very smooth and the check in people are delightful. Captain Mike is an excellent guide, finding three alligators and pointing out many interesting birds. He also knows so much about the area, supplying fascinating information and answering all of our questions. I’m definitely recommending this to friends

We did the private...

We did the private excursion for our family of five. While we only seen one gator in rhe afternoon, it wasn’t for a lack of trying on our tour guide’s part. He took us all over and shared a lot of information of the area. It just was too hot in the afternoon to see some gators but still had a great time

Gators, Herons, and a Perfect Day on the Everglades

We took a private 40 minute airboat tour at Sawgrass Recreation Park in early April and within the first five minutes on the water, we spotted an alligator. We saw another one basking in a run a short ride around. We also caught sight of a couple of herons, and even watched a bird catch a fish and then unfortunately lose it over the water. The weather was perfect, making for a truly beautiful adventure. Our tour guide Mike was great and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore the Everglades!
