I would highly recommend!!
Captain Chris was extremely knowledgeable & very friendly!! We saw lots of wildlife ~ including alligators. The scenery is beautiful and the entire experience is very peaceful. One thing I would recommend is including to meet at the marina in the directions. We were a little confused about where to go when we first got there.

Great day on the water with Captains Chris and Meredith. Learned about the beginning of the Everglades, the history of the area, the flora and fauna. Interesting and informative as well as fun and engaging. Recommended!
We wanted to book solo and system said there was no availability. So we can to book 2 and then split later between us….it was an inconvenience.
The tour was very informative, but we only saw 2 alligators…..a head of an alligator as he came up to eat a fish and one swimming far from the boat…..unable to capture or see an alligator close up. It was a worthwhile trip just riding around for 90 minutes and getting information.
Guide is very knowledgeable, personable, and enthusiastic about the wildlife, plant life and history of area
Great experience, very enjoyable tour. Comfortable boat and learned a lot. We got to see a little alligator!
My sister and I were the only ones on the boat and Chris was very knowledgeable about the wildlife. He was very personable and looking forward to when the company does airboat tours.
Wonderful customer service. I miscaluated my time and was not going to make it in time for the tour. Customer service was so gracious and allowed me to swich to another day. The day of the tour was wonderful. It was so relaxing and I learned fun facts about the everglades. The boat crew were kind and knowledgeable. Although the trip was cut short due to mother nature (lightening strike) safety first. I enjoyed myself and if I'm ever in the area again will definitely do another a tour. Its affordable, relaxing and fun.
The guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour took us out on the lake, where we saw some alligators, exotic birds, vegetation, and other wildlife.
We enjoyed the experience of overall.
Had a great time. Very knowledgeable captain and crew. Saw plenty of wildlife and learned so much about this unique ecosystem. Can’t recommend them highly enough.
Captain Chris knows the wildlife and where the gators are, they may not cooperate but that's wildlife. Also, be prepared for some great
local trivia.
It was great. It was too hot for the gators to be out but we got to see a couple heads in the water. The hosts were very knowledgeable about the area and animals as well. They kept us entertained.
Nice and relaxing. Didn't see a whole lot but it was nice. Saw the top of a couple alligators which was cool.
The captain was very knowledgeable and the trip was excellent . I would certainly recommend this trip for someone interested in learning about the wildlife and ecology of the Everglades.
Very informative, it is a covered boat ride to beat the heat. Saw at least 15 gators and many birds in their natural habitat. Just awesome!
Pretty fun! There were so many wild birds and the weather was perfect for riding the boat; the breeze was amazing! Unfortunately, we didn't see any live gators, but we can't control that lol. Definitely recommend!
My group and I had a great time on the tour. It was nice and relaxing with a small tour group. It was so much fun seeing all the wildlife and learning about them and a little history of the area. Definitely worth it!
The experience was truly spectacular, and my family thoroughly enjoyed it. We were astounded by the extensive knowledge possessed by the guides and their assistance in locating the gators in the water. Meredith’s expertise was truly remarkable.
This tour was AMAZING!!! I can’t recommend this tour enough!!! I was travelling with older family and a friend… we ALL thoroughly enjoyed the captain and Meredith, they were a wealth of information and shared it with us!!! If you want to learn about the ecosystem in Florida, you can’t do better!!!
Good way to learn and see a taste of the Florida Everglades with a very knowledgeable Captain of the surrounding terrain.
Captain Chris navigated the 90 Min FL Everglades Wildlife Boat Tour with expertise, knowledge, and gusto. My friend and I had lots of fun.
We were the only two guests on this tour making it extra special! We left the boat with more education regarding our FL wildlife.
This trip is a special boat ride you should not miss.
Thank you Captain Chris and Crystal!
Captain Chris was amazing and very knowledgeable. Answered all my questions Had a great time. I’ll be back for sure!
Fun, interesting, relaxing, and beautiful! We had a wonderful time looking at alligators, birds, eagles and their nests. Saw some new baby birds. Had a great time!
We were disappointed as there were no gator sightings, just spotted some completely submerged in the waters with just their eyes visible to the trained eyes.
The birds were also quite scarce.
The captain was quite engaging in his details about the area, birds, alligators and other geography of the area.
Would not recommend this if you are looking for gator sightings, probably ok as a wildlife spotting trip for birds.

Thank you for your feedback. Wildlife is unpredictable, while we can't guarantee specific sightings, we always do our best to give guest the best experience possible.
We are happy to hear that Captain Chris was knowledgeable about the area and all it's wildlife.
Majority of our guests do see alligators, some days they are more submerged or less active depending on weather, temperature and water conditions. Not to mention that this is mating season and gators are much more on the prowl for a mate.
We appreciate that you did join us and was able to learn something about our eco system while you were here.
Thank you for your time.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely amazing Everglades pontoon boat tour with Captain Chris! This was one of the best experiences of our trip. Captain Chris was super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole tour fun from start to finish. We got to see beautiful scenery, wildlife, and hidden spots in the Everglades while enjoying a smooth and relaxing ride on the pontoon boat.
He explained interesting facts about the area and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. The views were incredible and the atmosphere was peaceful but exciting at the same time. Perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florida — definitely a 10/10 experience. Thanks again, Captain Chris!
Had a relaxing wildlife tour, the Captain Chris was knowledgeable and entertaining. He brought us every opportunity to see the wildlife on the lake. We had a great time.
We saw a bunch of different birds. Some fish and a couple alligators. Captain Casey and Meredith were both very informative about the wildlife and history of the area
It might be a part of Everglades but don’t be fooled. We just took a short ride around the lake, saw some birds, nothing special and eagles from very far away. No gators up close.
Captain was very friendly and knowledgeably though.

Fun, relaxing boat trip with knowledgeable guides. You will see a lot of interesting birds, and a few gators. However, you do not actually get into the Everglades, only to the headwaters, and there is always civilization in view.
All the people we dealt with were great! Very friendly and knowledgable. It was a nice alternative to the crazy theme parks! We saw several gators and all the birds were amazing! And you can’t beat the cool breeze on the water!
Very knowledgeable staff. Very fun ...very informative and relaxing. Bring a jacket. Binoculars could be helpful.
I would highly recommend!!
