A trip you will always remember - I enjoyed the boat ride (make sure you sit in the first row)! Just the boat ride was great. We saw a gator or two and it was really cool. Just being in the Everglades National Park is something to remember! I have so many beautiful pictures. I was looking for the many birds that call the Everglades their habitat, saw a few!

Simply excellent! - Fabulous, knowledgeable staff, while we didn’t see any gators on the airboat the team did everything in their power to find us some. Brilliant experience, highly recommended

Aligator exists - It was an amazing experience. We got to see 2 aligators. We had Jimmy the captain and you could tell he likes his job. I will definitely do this tour again once back in Florida.

Air boat’n - Nice experience if you have the chance. Quick excursion however, you view the wildlife and hear about the Everglades.

Sawgrass Tours - Always wanted to go on an airboat ride & finally made it! It was interesting & fun even tho we did not see any alligators.
The animal exhibition was great! We learned about the 2 alligators that were there & about alligators in general. They had a good variety of animals to see, nice gift shops, some good prices on t-shirts that were on sale, cafe area with nice sitting areas...

Fun, but not complete - The walk is scarce, not being in
Everglades National Park.
You can hardly see nature and the comments were all in English.
Funny for the novelty, but I expected a lot more.

Not the experience we wanted - Have been on several airboat tours and this one was extremely disappointing. We never left the sight of telegraph poles or the road and didn’t feel we were deep in the Everglades

Disappointed - It was a nice hydroglider ride. But we saw absolutely no wildlife. 2 birds, literally. Not a single alligator.

Don’t bother with this tour - Didn’t see any wildlife apart from a duck!!! No alligators at all. Go to another venue possibly in the Everglades. The ‘wildlife’ attraction consisted of a few cages with a large turtle - not much else.

No Gators or animals - We didn't see one animal, a gator, or anything except one common bird. Big waste of time and money. The kid were so disappointed.
