Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Darius was amazing. Took time to answer our questions and did not make us feel like we were bothering him. Quite a memorable visit and Darius made it unforgettable with the new knowledge that he delivered to us about snakes, alligators and crocodiles. Tashon Shockey Raleigh NC

I was amazed by the overall experience especially the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. We arrived an hour earlier and asked if we could get on the next airboat and he did it without hesitation. Then we had Captain Adam as our guide and he was knowledgeable and great at pointing out not just gators but the different birds we saw. It was a great experience and the price was very reasonable. We can't wait to come back. Thank you for starting our vacation out perfectly.

The tour was amazing, from the bus driver Mr Blanc, he was super nice and funny, to the tour itself. The boat ride was good and the captain made sure we all saw the alligators, the show was also good. The. You can hold a gator or a snake and take a picture. We loved it.

Fantastic trip to the Everglades. We saw all kinds of animals (alligators, grasshoppers, snakes, birds, even a frog and a turtle) while walking the trail and saw more gators on the airboat. This time of year is perfect for seeing them since the females are nesting. We even got snacks and drinks. I totally recommend it!

Cost was $23.00 per person for a 45-minute tour. Our tour guide "Mike" was fantastic!! He took his time explaining the details of the trees and plants along the way and stopped so we could enjoy some gators in their natural habitat too! Airboats are awesome!! Totally worth the money. Don’t forget to tip generously if you enjoy the guide!! Ray - Edwardsburg, Michigan
