I had no idea who the "Gator Boys" were until this trip. I loved the fact that the boats are covered. I expected The Everglades to be a stinky mosquito filled swamp. It is actually a fresh water and slow running fresh water river. It is lined with Mango and lime trees and beautiful lilies pads and plants all around. We saw 6 alligators and they swam so close to our boat that we could have touched them. The tour bus was awesome. Great trip and well worth the money.
