This tour is highly recommended. Al was our all in one. He picked us up at our hotel and guided us through the events at the Everglades. During our shuttle ride, AL provided educational information on alligators and crocodiles. We even got to watch videos of the The Gator Boys on the way to and from the everglades. Please keep in mind that this tour is in the gators natural habitat which means you may or may not see gators. However, this tour includes the Gator Boys 20 min show (so you will see some live gators and some other wild animals) The tour even includes a picture of your group holding a baby gator The guides definitely put in effort to find some. And yes we saw 3. The guides carefully turn the boats in an effort not to disturb the gators so all sides of the boat get a view. Towards the end of the tour we saw 1 more and we took time to stop and view the gator.
