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.

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.
Peter_C, Jun 2026
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.
Miriah_P, Jun 2026
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.
Ryan_L, Jun 2026
Nice and relaxing. Didn't see a whole lot but it was nice. Saw the top of a couple alligators which was cool.
William_C, Jun 2026
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.
Theresa_G, Jun 2026
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!
Bryana_W, Jun 2026
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!
Taya_T, Jun 2026
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!
William_E, May 2026
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.
Betty_D, May 2026
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!!!
Timothy_H, May 2026
Good way to learn and see a taste of the Florida Everglades with a very knowledgeable Captain of the surrounding terrain.
Beth_D, May 2026
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!
Kyle_J, May 2026
Captain Chris was amazing and very knowledgeable. Answered all my questions Had a great time. I’ll be back for sure!
Steve_F, May 2026
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!
Arvind_T, May 2026
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.
Response from Host, May 2026
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.
Adam_M, Apr 2026
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
Maia_l, Apr 2026
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.
Marsha_S, Apr 2026
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!
Ginnette_B, Apr 2026
Very knowledgeable staff. Very fun ...very informative and relaxing. Bring a jacket. Binoculars could be helpful.

Unfortunately, I had no idea. My reservation was canceled until I got there and paid for an Uber. The lady from the tour group called me yesterday and advised that my tour would be moved up to 930 versus 1130. I get there at 9:30 and they told me it was canceled.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hi Sonia
We are very sorry for the inconvenience and frustrations this caused. At the time of our call, we did mention to you there was a possibility of cancellation due to weather conditions, as safety on the water is always our top priority. We did also send a cancellation email the day prior to your tour to keep you informed.
A full refund was issued, and we truly regret that your plans were impacted-especially after making the trip out.
If you're ever in the area we would love the opportunity to take you out and give you the experience you were hoping for.
Yolanda_J, Apr 2026
This was a great experience for me and my family and the weather was nice and we would recommend this tour.
Tammy_M, Apr 2026
We saw lots of different kind of birds, including eagles, and plants. Saw two alligators as well. Capt. Chris was very entertaining and informative. Fun tour especially for our one day here before our cruise the next day.
