“Fun time!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

We had a great tour. I would highly recommend going in the early part of the day to avoid the heat. Saw four-five gators and some birds. Tour guide was great - entertaining, patient, moved the boat so both sides of boat could see the animals. We didn't see the gator show due to time constraints. I would recommend you... More

Interesting airboat ride and opportunity to see alligators. Had a great view but a little too close for comfort! LOL

“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2013

Its sort of pricy, $53 for two people but it was great! Our tour guide was funny and corny but took his time stopping to get pictures and talk about birds and other wildlife, we saw two alligators which was fun. Very safe and clean. There is also an Alligator Show with the Gator Boys which I'm not familiar with... More

“Kids Were Very Bored”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013

The air boat moved very slowly most of the time looking for alligators which meant it was quite hot and the kids were bored. we saw to gators (barely) and then it was over. The VERY SHORT animal show afterwards featured only one alligator for about 6 minutes. Then they charged us an additional $5 so our kids could hold... More

The gator presentation is done by the Gator Boys. Unfortunately they are all volunteers so the donations (which was the $5.00) goes to the alligators food and shelter. We are sorry you didn`t enjoy our tour. Please let us know how we can get better. More

“Great tour, saw gators, interesting tour guide”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013

This place delivers. We saw 3 gators on our trip. If you can, request to ride on Taz. The guide has been there over 30 years and makes the ride VERY interesting. I assume your guide can be hit or miss, but riding Taz was incredible.

“Alligators were close enough to touch.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

We went here as part of an excursion after our Island Princess Panama Canal cruise. Fun ride in an airboat through the everglades. Close-up look at the gators...keep your hands inside the boat! Entertained by an alligator wrestler, and had our picture taken holding a baby gator!

“Airboat trip best we've done”

Done a few of these airboat trips and this was by far the longest and best value. Saw 3 Gators just swimming around and fed some wild birds - excellent
