Overall The tour itself was slightly underwhelming. However Our bus driver was fantastic. We did see one alligator in the everglades. Overall I'd give it a 4 out of 5.

It says spanish & english for the bus but the entire tour is english only. Also, it a hit or miss, some family members did see a lot of alligators when they took this excursion a while back but in this case my brother saw literally none so it was a bit deceiving
Think twice!

Big bus screwed us over - they did not get us to our connecting bus that we were not told about and we are now not able to make it the Everglades now! I am a TA and will NEVER recommend your company to any of my clients!

Great day. Our driver/tour guide Ronet Blanc was awesome and very informative with his commentary. The bus was comfortable and well air conditioned. The park was fun, we saw a couple of alligators on the boat, then a quick and humerous show with a gator wrestler and photo with a baby gator and snake (photos were $10 each extra). We really enjoyed the whole trip.
Excellent tour to the...

Easy enough to find the bus at pick up point. David the driver was punctual but not overly welcoming. No communication on the bus ride out. Brief instruction on arrival. Bus was comfortable. Allocated to a boat. Captain Kyle. Managed to get a window seat. Not everyone does (don’t think it would be as good if you are stuck in the middle). Boat ride was fun. Kyle explained a lot and spoke between the revving of the engines so he could be heard. It does get quite loud when on the speedway! Variety of birds seen including an osprey. No gators seen though which was a bit disappointing. Also there was a small leak of water into the boat (Don’t put your bag on the floor!) The show was better than anticipated. Rescued nuisance alligators that would otherwise probably be dead. David seemed a bit more chipper on way back. Probably because everyone had returned to the bus in reasonable time (which was one of the only things he mentioned as we arrived). There is however a small amount of time to peruse the gift shop if you wanted. The free photo could be better. It’s taken as you get on the boat with a load of railings in the background. They do give you a free print out as you get back on the bus. Overall decent tour and pretty good value for money. Just a shame we didn’t see a wild alligator 🐊
