We booked this tour through Trip Advisor for 4:00pm as a last hurrah before flying out of Florida. Upon arrival we were told that the tour did not begin until 5:00. We could not wait an hour and safely make our flight. The tour operator could have refunded us immediately had we booked through them. Instead, I’ve been trying to work this out with Trip Advisor for many hours, and it is still not resolved. The airboat adventure looked like fun, but I recommend booking directly through the company at Sawmill Recreational Park.

didn't see any crocodiles although we saw some wild birds and turtles but it is a fun activity to experience since in the end you get to see crocodiles in an enclosure

Very cool! I would probably just do the shorter less expensive with a group option. We opted for the more expensive private airboat, but we did not see much wildlife. The main attraction is skimming over the Everglades with a high powered air boat, it’s pretty epic. Took some photos had a very relaxing family day, it was worth it.
