You will not regret it

Gator Nights is my favorite all-out Florida experience. It is exhilarating and beautiful! We saw a gator emerge with a fish in its mouth! Incredible. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the staff on land was fun. This is a MUST do adventure - it doesn’t get more Florida than this!

A really fun experience

We did this tour on New Year's Eve with boat captain Jimmy and I was delighted that we saw some alligators, as with it being the middle of winter I worried that they might not be very active. He clearly knew exactly where to look and it was quite magical being out on the swamp in the dark.
