Amazing Adventure

This was a real highlight for me! I had never been to Miami and was determined to rent a car and visit the everglades. My family decided to make this trip with me. I loved every second of it and my grandchildren loved visiting the baby gators and other animals. We loved seeing an alligator in the wild along with the other wild life. Thank you for the memorable experience!
Wonderful excursion with our Captain

Great experience. We saw some snake birds nesting and a gator. It was fun going fast in the boat. The weather was excellent and the park that was attached was very interesting with different types of creatures. My husband ate some grilled gator bites, which he said taste like chicken. Don’t they all say that? Lol
Great!

The ride was wonderful and petting baby gator was cool as well. Totally recommend for any nature lover.
A great outing for the whole family

We had a great visit. The airboat ride was really fun. We saw at least five alligators while out on the boat. Our boat captain, Disco, did a great job finding alligators for us. He was very knowledgeable about alligator behavior. They provided ear plugs which were necessary because the fans were really loud. The gift shop had a lot of nice items to buy. The wildlife encounter was great because our kids were allowed to pet the baby alligators.
Excellent experience

Captain Johnathan was fantastic. He found us a couple Alligators, and many birds. Turtles were hiding as it was hot. He was very informative and told us a lot of great information. We forgot to try the gator tacos at the end. The baby gator was absolutely adorable. Excellent experience.
A cold day in the Everglades

The experience of seeing the fauna and flora of the Everglades with my family made the trip memorable. We did not see alligators, but I was not expecting to on a cold and wet day. Whatever the weather — the boat ride, the trained crew and the hospitality was awesome!

None. Didn’t see much. Guide was informative but really couldn’t see alligators in the swamp. Our 4 YO grandson was very disappointed and so were we.
First time ok

First time on air boat was nice, unfortunately we really didn’t see anything.. While eating lunch a few peacocks joined us which was nice.
Interesting

One person in our party got sick prior to boarding. She did not get to go in the boat ride. Management said they put a note in the system for you to refund one ticket.
