The airboat ride was fine . Water level Is to high to see any alligators. Tour guide was not informative at all he just went through the motions but he was sure to mention tips were appreciated.

The water levels are still quite high from the flooding that the hurricanes brought this year. Thank you for your visit!

Enjoyed the ride and got a experience of wild alligators in marsh lands. We were able to touch a baby Gator too.

This was an incredible, immersive introduction to the Florida Everglades - so seemingly remote and a world of its own. The staff and Captain were amazing - patient, informative, passionate and so knowledgeable. You could tell they really care and use this opportunity to educate and help preserve this unique ecology. Family had a good time together - so different than anything else you will ever do! Exhibits after were fun and very hands on - kind of a nature park. Don’t miss the gift shop and one of a kind souvenirs. Any of the guides are great but Captain Tim is a local hero 👍. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
