If you are looking to take a ride on an airboat, this is your tour. If you are wanting to see gators, skip over this tour. Tour guide nice, wasn’t anything to see.

We of course cannot guarantee what wildlife may be seen during your tour but our captains are always on the lookout for alligators! The morning is the best time to see wildlife. We hope to see you again soon!

It would have been nice to get more information about the history of the Everglades, more info in general. It is difficult for some people to speak up when asked if they have any question. This could be due to a language barrier, shyness etc…

It was supposed to be a 45 minute to an hour tour but we didn't hardly get 30 minutes. It was a long trip from Fort Lauderdale for just 30 minutes. However, the alligator show was very good. A five star
