The experience was truly unique and fantastic. Our guide Leah had extensive knowledge and shared fascinating ecological insights. The Airboats and Alligators tour was enjoyable, with plenty of wildlife sightings, including two adult alligators basking in the sun just a few feet from our passing airboat. Ear protection was supplied, and Leah made sure to stop the boat for us to observe closely, allowing us to hear him clearly. It was wise to wear windbreakers, as it gets quite chilly when speeding over the water. The reptile show at the conclusion was a major highlight, providing the chance to hold a baby alligator and various snakes. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Just a heads up, you’ll need to drive to a different location for the airboat tour after the hike—it’s not within walking distance, and ride shares won't work due to the remoteness. Also, be ready with waterproof shoes for the brief walk; even in winter, the trail can be moist enough to leave your shoes wet after the mile-long trek.
Rhett demonstrated great knowledge during our hike, highlighting many fascinating details. JT guided us on a pontoon tour where we observed a variety of birds, a turtle, and several alligators. Rhett also introduced us to some interesting snakes and baby alligators, which we had the opportunity to handle.
Rhett was an outstanding guide who possessed a wealth of knowledge. He truly made the entire experience worthwhile, and I would definitely recommend this!
We walked through a marsh, observing various birds and plants. On the airboat, we encountered 12 to 15 alligators. Our guide, Pete, shared a wealth of knowledge and allowed the kids to hold a few snakes and an alligator, which they really enjoyed.
Everything was truly fabulous, just as promised. Rhett was knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional. The airboat ride and captain were excellent. Our entire group was very happy with the experience.
Our adventure in Florida was fantastic! Jacob was our guide, and he was both friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. We started with an informative nature hike lasting over an hour, keeping everyone engaged. After that, we visited the airboat facility, where Jacob kindly introduced us to several snakes and a 2-year-old alligator. He was wonderful with both kids and adults. The airboat ride, captained by Fred, allowed us to see numerous alligators and beautiful birds. It was a great experience for all ages, and we highly recommend it!
Rhett was very knowledgeable and friendly. The airboat captain provided an outstanding water ride. Overall, the tour was enjoyable, unique, and well worth it. Learning about snakes, alligators, and various aspects of the Florida ecosystem was amazing. I highly recommend it.
Rhett proved to be an excellent guide, providing detailed information about the Everglades' plants and wildlife. The airboat ride was enjoyable as well. I never imagined I would handle a snake or an alligator, but Rhett made the experience feel safe.
I had a fantastic experience! Rhett was an outstanding guide with a wealth of knowledge. I highly suggest this tour. It was truly enjoyable!
Incredible tour experience. We spotted numerous alligators and birds during the airboat ride. Pete gave us an engaging presentation on reptiles. I strongly recommend it.
