We've been to the Everglades many times, but had never been on an airboat before. It was fun. We sped along, looking for wildlife along the way (we couldn't find any gators though) Our captain was great. He told interesting stories and tried to connect with each guest. The 30 minute tour was probably long enough, and a good value for the price. While we weren't crowded into the boat, there were a LOT more people on it than I would have anticipated (25 guests). I had expected a smaller boat, but those were reserved for private tours. Also, we rushed to get there early for our 9:00 ticket, only to find that this was just the check-in time, and not the departure time, which was 9:30. I would still recommend this experience, but these were two frustrations that led to my average rating.
