Chris was a great guide and found a dozen alligators. He taught us about the history of the area and the several ecosystems. We saw so much from birds to turtles to alligators. My family had a great time and the boat was much nicer than the other airboats we saw.

Excellent tour. We were 30 mins late and Jack still honoured our time. I wanted to see a baby alligator and mission accomplished! Very knowledgable and informative too. Saw some gators close up and was an amazing trip. Highly recommended

This excursion knocked it out of the park! Chris was our captain/guide. He was so knowledgeable about the area. We saw 4 alligators. The largest was 10 feet, at least. We have no regrets about going!

Great family fun activity

jackie_t, Nov 2024
Great family trip. We did the 90 minute tour, it was a little disappointing only seeing two alligators but its was still worth it to go. Our guide chatted about the things that we saw and gave us a nice history about the area, He was knowledgeable about the area and the birds and animals. We have gone other times and been very spoiled in the number of sightings and understand that is just mother nature. Thanks for some great family time.

Absolutely excellent t experience

Mary_K, Jul 2024
Roger was our guide and was so knowledgeable and kind. As a local he knew the area so well and was happy to share his love for the environment and surrounding natural areas. What a treat to be guided by someone who obviously has a love for what he does, where he lives, and for sharing this experience with others. Highly recommend.

Unreal!! Saw a 9ft gator and a baby! What else do you need . swamp chickens. Now tailed grackles. But I tell you what, “you haven’t seen anything until you looked a white fang Macau in the face! “

Perfect trip

Robert_M, Jul 2020
A little rain, but this just made it a bit cooler. Great guide and great trip. We saw quit a bit of wildlife. One gator on a nest. Several swimming in open water.

Great family experience

Rafael_S, Jul 2020
Tour guide was very informative and even stopped to pick up some debris (deflated helium balloons) that we saw during our tour. Our kids learned a lot and enjoyed it. The 1.5 hour tour was the perfect time for the tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2020

Thank you for the great review. Billy really loves the Everglades and love to educate everyone, especially the kids about it. We are so happy to have him with us and that you and your family enjoyed the beautiful Everglades.

Great time for the family

Captain Billy was great- knew a ton about the area, flora/fauna, and got us a great look at some gators!

The large alligator

Tour

Erin_B, Oct 2019
Capt Billy knows his way around the glades no doubt. Plant life, wildlife, he had information and knew the answer to almost every question we asked. He truly embodies that place. Couldn’t have gotten a better tour guide, highly recommend.
