Great adventure! Really enjoyed the ride and commentary. Learned about the animals, and the Everglades. Highly recommend!

Another great boat ride across the Everglades. Got to see a couple of alligators which was brilliant. Great captain, very knowledgeable. Only downside was hanging around. We got there too early (our fault) but we still didn't leave til nearly 10am!

The boat ride was OK but we never got more than 1/2 mile from the dock. Captain John did his best to find us a gator, but no luck. Saw many birds and he told us quite a bit about the everglades. This was after Hurricane Nicole, so that may have influenced the wildlife. Apparently the animals in the park were being moved as we saw a couple of snakes and alligators, but no baby gator petting or other animals. Overall enjoyable, but not memorable.
