My brother and I took the tour and really enjoyed ourselves. Because of the time of year it was just the two of us and our tour guide James. James was a very friendly and knowledgable guide and we would strongly recommend him and this business for anyone looking to your the Everglades. We saw one alligator but it was... More

Saw 1 6 foot alligator for $40 per person. Worst airboat tour ever, and also the most expensive. Ride was 30-40 minutes, not the promised hour.

We are very sorry you feel you were shorted but did not come to management. Time passes very quickly when on our tour and all trips are logged in with a radio call to start and logged at return. Alligators are wild on our land not caged for for tourist to see. The gator farms have cages for this purpose.... More

We went on a tour today of a part of the Everglades near Naples, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The guide was most informative, and took us right up to the alligators. It was an exciting hour's worth, and I am so glad we did it! We highly recommend this particular company.

We visited Everglades City in mid-March during Spring Break week for our first airboat tour of the Everglades. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I was offered earplugs for $1.00 a pair which I promptly bought. We went out for our hour airboat tour and quickly saw our first gator, a female about 200 yards from where we... More

The airboat ride was very nice. You get close to the swamp and to the animals who live there. We saw two aligators. One was hiding and another one was about to eat a fish. We were about 10 feet away from the aligators. It was a great experience. I really can recommend that. What I didnt like at all... More

We loved it and we would definitely come back! This was a fun and adventurous tour, staff was very friendly, and the ride was fast but our captain was pretty good with the controls. It reminds us of a James Bond movie. Plus, we stopped a couple of times just to look at the amazing view. We also saw two... More

I really had a great experience at Everglades Private Airboat Tours; the staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I made my reservation a week before, when I arrived my reservation was confirmed, and I was told to await my assigned captain. The assigned captain arrived on time, assisted me on the airboat and asked me to stow away any... More

Got there and there was no place to park. Checked in and they were backed up. Had 1 pm reservation but did not leave till 1:20. Ride was good. Captain Mike was informative but before you know it we are headed back. Supposed to be an hour ride but guess they decided to get caught up on our ride. When... More

I am sorry you feel you were shorted on time. When the boat left the dock it was called in as protocol and time logged in and cleared with a head count. When you brought this to me I invited the captain ( mike ) over and asked him how long he was out then asked the booking agent (sandy)... More
