We had a very enjoyable tour through the Everglades. Our tour guide Brian was very informative about the wildlife and the Everglades. He carried water on board and asked if we were comfortable with the speed. He answered any questions we had and was just very friendly. We would do this again!

I booked this trip almost a year ago because of the reviews. It was worth the wait. We saw gators, turtles, iguanas, and so many varieties of birds. The boat ride was smooth and relaxing. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Everglades. It was a very enjoyable time.

Had a great time. booked last minute and saw some wildlife and learned about the everglades. fun time

Family friendly, best Everglades experience with so many alligator sightings!

Jennylle_Z, Mar 2026
My husband and I have been to holiday park with the covered airboats, and it was fun. But, I’ve always wanted to ride the open air boats with the big fan in the back and stadium seating for everyone to have an amazing view. This was hands-down my favorite Everglades tour! We went with my 9 and 10 year old boys who sat in the front and loved every minute of the front row experience! We all felt very safe and well educated about the wildlife and the Everglades itself! We will do the green swamp monster tour every time in the future! It’s the best!!

A slice of heaven

Patty_B, Dec 2025
A heavenly, surreal experience. Captain Brian was informative, kind and he knew exactly when and where to stop the boat and find the wonder of the Everglades wild life. It was as though he orchestrated the show! The final half hour of the tour we went through the East/West trail and we were speechless as the native birds flew directly in front of our boat. We were in awe. Did the 3pm tour and had the cool late afternoon air to usher us home. Thank you Brian for a fantastic afternoon!!

Excellent airboat tour on the Swamp Monster!

Robert was a terrific and very informative tour guide! The airboat ride was very fun, the scenery was breathtaking, and we saw all kinds of wildlife (alligators, turtles, iguanas, and many birds). We would absolutely recommend booking with Swamp Monster if you get the opportunity.

Karen_B, Nov 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Everglades on the Swamp Monster! The water was high and our captain could basically take us anywhere. We zoomed through the grasses in search of birds, turtles and alligators. The temperature was great and the alligators were out sunning themselves. We saw lots of adults as well as some newly hatched and 2-year old gators. Our captain really made it fun and shared a lot of good information.

A MUST SEE if you visit Florida

Myra_F, Aug 2025
Serene and unbelievably beautiful! Brian gave us a fantastic tour and we got to meet Curious George the alligator. Jim the coordinator was so patient as we got lost trying to get there. Florida is so blessed to have this incredible waterway! So glad we got to see it! Thanks, guys.

Awesome experience!

LORELEI_Z, Jul 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our airboat tour! Brian was courteous, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable—he knew so much about the local area and wildlife, and made the whole experience both fun and informative. The meeting point directions were clear and easy to follow, and Brian was already there waiting for us when we arrived. He even offered to snap a few photos for us before we headed out, which was a great touch. The tour itself was absolutely a highlight of our trip. Great pricing, a great guide, and an all-around fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Wow! What a great time! Captain Brian was very knowledgeable and nice. We enjoyed learning more about the beautiful everglades. Gators, birds and turtles in abundance. Great way to get out and enjoy nature. Swamp Monsters smaller airboat makes for a more personal relaxing experience. We highly recommend!

Everglades adventure

Karen_S, Dec 2024
Great time with our family - saw a lot of birds and alligators! The highlight was the baby gators. The trip on the boat was really nice, but cold and windy- wear long pants and a jacket just in case! Brian was knowledgeable and kind. Recommend.

I’d recommend the airport tour

Paula_S, Sep 2024
The tour was great. Our guide was knowledgeable and you could tell he enjoyed teaching people about the Everglades.

Extraordinary

James_S, Aug 2024

A Florida must do!

Susanne_G, Jun 2024
An amazing experience seeing gator, turtles and birds in their natural habitat. Our air boat pilot and tour guide, Brian, was extremely knowledgeable and had eagle eyes when it came to spotting gators. Highly recommend.

Everglades at its Best

Richclift, Apr 2024
Phenomenal experience of the Everglades. Brian did an excellent job showing us the beauty of the Everglades. We were fortunate to have multiple wildlife sightings. The air boat ride was the best. I would highly recommend this tour and Brian as your guide.

Great Company and a Great Experience

Richclift, Apr 2024
This company is totally customer focused. Our original excursion had to be cancelled due to the weather. They immediately offered us alternate dates and times. Initially I told them that we were already booked so they offered a refund. Fortunately I was able to change our schedule to be able to have the BEST airboat experience in the Everglades. Brian was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable of the Everglades and we were able to experience a great adventure. I would book this excursion again.
