07/05 tour - Very informational & educational. Very loud but ear plugs are provided. Interesting ride thru the sawgrass. Would do it again.

Worth the time! - None of us had ever been on an airboat and it was so much fun. Although most probably go to see the alligators, I was much more interested in the beautiful scenery. Our guide was low key and funny. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area. I would suggest to wear longer shorts or pants because the seats get very sweaty in the warm weather. And don't forget to pet the alligator in the exhibit area.

Awesome Time - Awesome experience! Very knowledgeable staff. We saw 3 gators out on the boat. Back at the park, we pet the baby gator and learned about a lot speaking with the staff. Very fun time!

Great experience - Very well organized and a lot of fun! I was afraid it would be too hot but with the wind it was great. We didn’t think we’d see many gators because of the heat, but we ended up seeing 4. The captain was very knowledgeable and made sure to explain everything in detail and was very open to questions and conversation. We enjoyed it. The exhibit after was great as well. The people who work there are very passionate about what they do. Didn’t really know what to expect overall and ended up having a wonderful experience. We will be back with our son in the future!

Everglades - We did enjoy the air boat tour and were able to see a couple of gators. Our captain Andrew was funny and educational. He gets 5 stars, I gave 3 stars to the facility itself, because due to a storm coming in we weren't able to get to go to the exibit, or the adventure trail. We were there on vacation and couldn't wait the hour based on lightning striking within a certain miles radius of the facility.
