Best airboat ride ever!!! Saw 4 alligators and some birds. Beautiful day, guide was amazing, very informative! The environment was fantastic being truly in the everglades. My first airboat ride in the everglades was more like being in a lake.

The experience was incredible — 5 out of 5 stars! We had front-row seats, and the entire experience felt very premium. Although our accommodation was a bit outside the standard pickup area, they still picked us up right at our door, which we really appreciated. Our tour guide, Walker, made the experience even better. He accompanied us throughout the tour, was friendly and easy to be around, and made us feel comfortable from the start. On top of that, he shared great local recommendations and took us to an excellent Cuban restaurant. Cheers to Walker for making an amazing experience even more memorable!

Walker are guide was excellent, he really brought the Everglades's to life with so many facts, stories and interesting insight that we would have never learnt! The boat trip itself was fun, exciting and would highly recommend!! The alligator show was really great and our kids were delighted to see a baby alligator up close.
