Perfect half day activity!

5.00Our flight didn't leave until 5:30 pm. This was a perfect activity for us. They picked us up, watched our luggage and took us straight to the airport! They even had car seats for the littles. Our guide Mark was so friendly and accommodating! He really did make it a "VIP" experience for us! The boat guide Captain Castle knew a lot and was very passionate about what he was teaching us. He made sure we saw lots of cool things. We were able to see 5 gators! The guy who did the gator show was funny and also very knowledgeable. There was lots of accomodations for the heat and it was a very nice little place. I would definitely recommend!!
Crew was very friendly...

4.00The tour is very beautiful and interesting. Right upon arrival we were very well received by the staff, who explained everything right. Then we wait for our boat, which already creates a huge expectation, mainly because the boats are different and make a lot of noise. The captain was super attentive throughout the ride. As soon as we boarded, we started the journey as he told curiosities about the place and its inhabitants in a light and fun way. We didn’t see many crocodiles in the water — only two — but it was still very interesting. We also saw several different birds and the landscape during the walk is really beautiful and unique. After the boat tour, there is a presentation about crocodiles, which is very educational. The presenter seems to respect animals a lot and explains many interesting curiosities. You had a part teaching how to act if one of these animals appears near the house, which I found very valid and informative. On the other hand, some parts of the experience made me uncomfortable. At a certain point in the presentation, the boy physically interacts with one of the crocodiles, reaching to the animal. At first it seems something controlled, but then it becomes noticeable that the animal is disturbed, and I honestly did not like that part. The site also has other animals and there are spaces to take pictures with snake and crocodile. However, the jacaré keeps his mouth stuck with a tape for the photos, which I also did not find legal. I understand it's for safety, but seeing the animal immobilized just for paid photos apart ends up being unnecessary. Overall, it was a different, beautiful and educational experience, but I believe that some interactions with the animals could be more respectful. The animals are beautiful and deserve all care and respect.
The best guide: Bruce

5.00Bruce made the experience so memorable! The airboat tour was not has fun as expected due to the water levels low so we only went down and back the one canal, plus our guide on that boat was pretty disengaged/monotone. But having Bruce guide us around all day, giving us the history of the Everglades and Florida, made the trip.
A Must Do Experience!

5.00This trip was amazing! Our bus driver Bruce was so friendly and such a wealth of knowledge! He offered us complimentary water for our trip. Upon arrival you will receive a rain poncho, hand fan, and ear plugs for the fan boat ride. Our fan boat captain was Captain Chaos, he was fantastic, very lively and great at spotting all the wildlife! We saw +10 gators, several different birds, turtles, and iguanas. 10/10 would go back! We also ate gator bites and frog legs at the snack shop, which were very good!
So fun and Gatorlisious

5.00Amazing experience! They have an option for pickup and drop off at your hotel and Courtney helped with arrangements perfectly! Also the boat tour guide Nadim was great and made the ride so enjoyable. We saw many alligator and spun around to watch them and take photos and he explained what’s going on with the habitat too! Then we bought some food $6 hot dog and an $11 sandwich, each being a decent size. Lastly we watch the gator show and the host Paul was funny and informative. Devin did some tricks which I loved and I also took a photo with a gator, so Cool! Loved the experience and would recommend!!!

Disappointing trip

1.00We booked all our trips with Viator We booked the Everglades boat trip expecting to go at a fast speed to be told due to the drought this could not happen. This was very disappointing and made the boat extremely hot as we were moving that slow. Felt we should have been informed of this and given an option to cancel. Felt the trip was extremely boring just going up and down the water ways
Family fun day!

5.00We had an amazing experience. Mark, our driver, was fantastic! He was super knowledgeable and really went the extra mile. He gave us each waters, ear plugs, and ponchos because the weather was looking iffy. Luckily we didn’t need the ponchos, but we were happy to have them! Mark was communicative throughout the experience giving us a heads up about each portion of the adventure. 10/10 experience!

5.00We were picked up and dropped off at our resort. The park was alot of fun we saw 10-12 alligators and Captain Jeff was great! We also had a great driver. We had to leave right away when the boat tour was finished due to wild fires but overall it was a great day trip and I'd highly recommend to anyone!
