Not what one would call a true Everglades experience!

2.00Wow. Worst airboat tour. Description says glide over grass but all we did was slowly drive down man made canal system. Not a true Everglades experience.

5.00The staff were wonderful. We forgot to pick up our photograph after the boat tour. They were kind enough to find our picture and mail it to us at no extra cost. I don't know of any other business that would do that. The tour was great. We saw a lot of wildlife and gaters. Our tour guide made sure both sides of the boat saw everything. 10/10.
Glad we did it!

5.00My husband and I were so graciously gifted the opportunity to stop by here on our honey moon to check it out by a very good friend of ours! We went on the airboat tour on the Everglades and it was breath taking! We didn’t want to leave! Being able to be so close to the American alligator was such a surreal moment. We will definitely come back to visit with our kids!!
Don’t go. Rude Operators. We walked out

5.00We came for an excursion after our cruise on Icon before flying home. It was amazing and due to the drought we sadly couldn’t do the speed run but that’s that fault of Mother Nature. Our guide and driver was Victor who made our visit. We seen a few gators and we luckily came across one of them swimming down one of the canals so we got an amazing look at him going past him a few times too. Victors guide was unreal learned so much as he explained everything in a way with detail yet a novice could understand it was brilliant. The show after it was a highlight too and full of engagement and facts. Brilliant way to spend a few hours and something ticked off our bucket list
Alligators Galore!

Sad Ride!

2.00We had a 30 minute ride in a loop. The boat just meandered through the water. We expected an actual ride especially since they have 2-225 hp engines. All the captain did was move the boat left and right. This was an extreme disappointment as we were very excited to do the boat ride.
Ridiculous wait times

1.00When we arrived on a Monday the place was swamped (pun there) with people. We were told our pre booked (and paid for) airboat ride would require a 1-1.5hr wait. I asked for a refund and they said no as we had booked through a third party. I booked directly on their website and it automatically directs you to a third party and charges you for the privilege! About half the airboats were parked up making the delay worse. In the end we waited over 3 hours and the tour lasted 30mins not the one hour stated. Not worth the bother but the wait is a nice earner for the 'park' (it's not a park) as they get to sell more drinks and food.
