Captain Jack was a great guide. This is a must do tour. Educational and safe. Gators were everywhere and Jack was quick to point them out so we didn’t miss anything.

Best experience to enjoy the everglades

mireille_k, Apr 2026
It was an awesome ride, saw alligator, birds, turtles plus being surrounded by sea grass and cool rooted trees being close to alligators in their natural habitat, jack our boat captain called the baby gator imitating a mothers call and they came out. Very cool enjoyable ride

Exciting, Fun & Out of this world!

A fun family experience

Becca_G, Dec 2025
This was a fast and fun way to experience the Everglades. We saw a few gators as well as several birds and turtles. The scenery as you travel through is gorgeous. Overall we enjoyed though I do wish we were able to see more, perhaps traveling farther in on a longer tour would give that opportunity.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for choosing us, and we'd love to welcome you back for another adventure on a longer tour so you can feel a 5 Star experience.

Captain Jack is great! Would recommend this tour.

Alexander_W, Oct 2025
Captain Jack was extremely knowledgable. I learned so much about the history of the Everglades and the Everglades themselves. We were fortunate enough to also see so much wildlife. I even saw a bumble bee! Within the first 10 minutes we saw an alligator. It was a wonderful tour. Extremely insightful and educational. Captain Jack was a very good tour guide.

Small boat, BIG fun!

Leah_M, Sep 2025
We had a wonderful time with our captain learning all sorts of fun facts about the plants and animals we could see from the boat. The captain was professional and fun. We'd absolutely recommend this experience, especially over the very commercial, overly crowded bigger operations.

Everglades fun

Linda_C, Mar 2025
Fun experience! We saw alligators, birds, and our guide Jack caught two beautiful bass which were then released. He was knowledgeable about the Everglades and it was perfect for our family group of four. Much less touristy than some of the others.

Bus was on time, we were...

Fun and educational experience

Tracy_B, Aug 2024
Awesome experience. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area at large. We were able to see 4 mama gaters guarding their eggs. Very cool to see and learn about their nests. The airboat was fun, now I want one, I just need a swamp to put it on.

Everglades Experience for Utah Couple

Ginger_S, May 2024
We loved our first experience on an airboat and in the everglades. Capt. Jack made the trip. His personallity and humor was loved. I am a teacher and loved the iformation that he offered to us and appreciated it. He answered questions and made the trip the best. It was our first time here and got to see 5-6 alligators. We loved the whole thing.
