Great trip with a knowledgable captain (Captain Al)! Smooth and relaxing airboat ride through the Everglades. We were lucky enough to see 3 gators! Recreation park was very nice, although some of the gators looked sad in their enclosures. Overall great value and friendly staff. Would do again!

We drove down to the Everglades from Clearwater on our way to Miami. When we arrived we were booed on one of the airboats and as we were seated and about to go for the ride, the rain came down! We all got off the boat and sheltered and waited for the rain to stop. This shower lasted an hour! We finally got aboard again and went t look for alligators, Disappointingly we only saw 2. On in the distance and we di get to se the other close up. Once the engine was shut down, the alligator came up close to the boat. We were expecting to see more alligators.
It was good value for money though. There were a few animals and alligators to look at after the boat ride but not enough to keep you there for more than 2hours altogether
