“We had an unforgettable experience on the airboat tour through Everglades National Park! The ride itself was thrilling and beautiful – gliding over the water and through the grasslands was a unique adventure. The wildlife show was also a great attraction, very informative and exciting, with a chance to see and learn about amazing animals up close. What truly made this tour special was the honesty and kindness of the staff. We accidentally left our camera behind, and to our great relief, they found it and returned it to us the very next day. We are incredibly grateful for their honesty and help – it’s rare to find such trustworthy…”

His knowledge of the area and ability to spot wildlife was impressive—he found several large alligators and brought us in close enough to get amazing photos. He even pointed out a nest with several baby gators, which was a real highlight! We felt completely safe the entire time, and the ride was both thrilling and incredibly enjoyable. This tour is *definitely* a must-do. Highly recommended!”

“Check to see if there are other events going on in the city. There were three on the only day we could go. Our bus was1 1/2 hours late picking us up. We didn't get very much extra time at the Everglades. The boat ride was fun and so was the show. Our drive back was almost 2 hours as we had to drop off people at the south beach location first who missed their bus. It was a long day.”
