Lovely experience. Our guide thru the everglades was very pleasant, polite and knowledgeable about the ecology and history of Florida! Actually heard the alligator mating calls, as well as seeing many alligators. Beautiful birds and flora.

Captain Chris was fantastic, very knowledgeable and made sure we made the most of our hr with him. Saw multiple turtles and alligators with him, well worth doing this and definitely a story telling opportunity.

Chris Rocks

Jillian_C, Jul 2025
Chris was awesome! He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything Everglades and answered all of our questions and gave us tons of info. At one point, he stopped the airboat and jumped into the water to show us a turtle! He went on to explain how he spotted it, told us the type, and told us what else we can be on the lookout for. We saw alligators, an alligator nest, a grasshopper, so many fish, birds, and more turtles. Chris also showed us where to find worms to use as bait if you were to fish when in the Everglades. You could absolutely tell he loves what he does and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thanks Chris!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We're delighted you had such an unforgettable experience! It's wonderful to know the your guide, airboat ride, the scenery, and the wildlife exceeded your expectations.

Awesome experience with Captain Chris!

Good One. A must.

very nice and professional guy. He moved us around the Everglades. It was our first time, and it was a fantastic experience.

Family trip

Captain Jack was great! We felt safe and really enjoyed the landscape and seeing the alligators up close.

Awesome experience

Toni_L, May 2024
Our guides knowledge of the Everglades was awesome! It made me want to research it more. Being able to see alligators was a highlight of the trip and to experience the beauty of the Everglades!

Great guide but in a small group

Paul_R, Feb 2024
Had a great time it’s a guide who was not only knowledgeable but passionate about their location. Only issue would be was that I had booked a private tour with an accompanying price but shared the boat with four other people. I do not believe this is what I paid for

Culture and Environment was a Gift!

DiAnn_E, Jan 2024
The Everglades are an amazing place full of life but the tour guide makes the tour and we LOVED getting to know Jack. We got a taste of the real culture of "Old Florida" and his insights and views. We left with a whole new appreciation for the culture of the Everglades. Thanks Jack!

Cool

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing review.

Excellent family experience for all ages!

Ana_C, Jul 2023
This was such a fun afternoon! We arrived in Miami a day before our cruise and wanted something to do with our young son for the afternoon. He LOVED it! He got to sit up top and help ‘drive’. We saw lots of alligators and birds. Our guide gave us lots of facts and info about the Everglades and the specific area we were in. The super fast ride back to the departure ramp was so much fun and we all had smiles plastered on our faces!!! Directions to pick up were perfect and when I doubted, they responded right away to assure me I was in the right place. It started our trip off on a great note!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Fun boat ride

Cindy_S, May 2022
Our guide Captain Jack was the best. Shared lots of knowledge about the Everglades and found the gators. Highly recommend.

Perfect!

Joanne_G, Mar 2021
Billy amazed us with his knowledge of the history, environment and wildlife. He knew exactly where to find the gators, etc. We LOVED this adventure!

Super

David_R, Feb 2021
Seeing the actual alligators in the wild was fantastic. Unfortunately it rained the first 20 minutes and that put a damper on the trip but after the sun came out, it was super!

Disappointment and deception

Meritxell_G, Jan 2026
A scam, a hoax tell us to go in the time of 08:00 in the morning in January and it turns out that as it is cold the animals come out of the bottom of the water and we have not seen ANYTHING. What I don't understand is being offered that schedule if the same driver already explains that we're not going to see anything.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Lamentamos que estuvieras insatisfecho y decepcionado de no haber visto mucho la mañana de tu recorrido. Desafortunadamente, el clima no estaba a favor de los animales que vive en los Everglades. La mañana de su recorrido, Miami (sur de Florida) fue golpeado por un frente frío muy fuerte en el que dicta el comportamiento de los animales, especialmente los caimanes. Lo cual no sucede muy a menudo. Son de sangre fría y literalmente permanecerán casi en un estado de hibernación. Nuestros guías están capacitados para ser honestos y transparentes con nuestros huéspedes. No esconderemos ni mentiremos sobre nada en nuestros recorridos. ¡Hacer una declaración de que anunciamos un recorrido por la mañana con malos resultados es completamente falso! Tenemos recorridos absolutamente geniales en las primeras horas del día. Realmente lamentamos que el clima no estuviera en su lado o en el de los animales la semana pasada debido al frente frío (clima) que tuvimos. En nuestra confirmación afirmamos que no garantizamos ver los animales. Agradecemos su reseña.
