The pick up from the hotel was a big plus, the driver was on time and the journey to the gator park was fun and informative. the airboat was cooling and we saw gators in the wild and then in the viewing area, the talk after was informative and then photo op with holding one was good.

An air boat ride through the everglades was top of my list for what I wanted to do while visiting Florida. Captain Willie was the best. He was very knowledgeable and got us right up close to alligators, birds and plants. Definitely knows how to drive the airboat. I was surprised how fast they go, and turn. Meeting at the... More

Captain Willy (you're the man!) took us on a really interesting and fun ride on the air boat. It took 1 hour and was a good mix of insight into the ecosystem Everglades and spectacular high-speed passages in the boat. We saw alligators and lots of bird species very close to the boat. Definitely, we are keeping some great pictures... More

Can't say enough about Capt. Chad and his expertise on the Everglades. We did a 1 hr. tour and had a great time. He explained everything we were seeing and made sure to let us have some fun along the way. We would highly recommend that if you get the chance, to take a tour with Airboat in the Everglades....

I called to confirm availibility, was told to book a tour through the website, where I then paid and received confirmation. When I arrived at the gas station, however, the representative was not aware of my reservation, and consequently neither were the airboat captains. We then followed the rep in our car to a random location about five minutes away.... More

Even with such positive reviews on Tripadvisor, our boat Captain Chad still managed to beat all expectations and give us a fun and fascinating 1.5 hour tour of this beautiful natural landscape. Really easy to book and find the meeting point, we drove from Miami South Beach which took about 40 mins. Very well organised and definitely worth the money... More

The typical Everglades tour takes 5 hours, 1 hour in the Everglades and 4 hours spent picking up other passengers, lunch, gift shop, etc, etc . AIRBOAT IN EVERGLADES picked us up at our hotel at 8:30AM, took us directly to the Everglades for a 1 hour tour, and had us back on the beach before 11AM! Priceless. All for... More

My wife and teenage son took the 2 hour private trip and had a fantastic time. Jessica delivered us to and from our hotel and was very pleasant company and shared her knowledge of sites and Miami in general on our 30 minute ride. As other reviewers have noted, the rendezvous at a gas station is different but when you... More

My sister and I did a one-hour private tour. Wish we'd done a longer one! Because of a wrong turn, we were late to the meeting place (a gas station, as other reviewers have said), but we still got the full hour. Captain Willie was awesome! He really knows his stuff and seems to love what he does. Saw several... More

This was a an amazing experience for us. Life time memories were created. From start to finish the sights were so beautiful and interesting. We saw at least 15 gators some more obvious some peeking out from the sides. Our captain is what really made the experience over the top though. He was very enthusiastic and took the time to... More
