Alligator Town - Amazing experience in the Everglades and experiencing looking at the alligators up and close. The heat and humidity in the summer here is something that you to experience and tolerate, but it’s worth it. We had a cool experience riding the airboat. Highly recommended

Super tour out of trivial - The location is simple but like every business we United States has a Gift Shop 🤣. I bought my tickets for GET YOUR GUIDE. Time set. Super punctual. I went with
Two children 5 and 7 years old. The engine of the boats makes a lot of noise but after a while they get used to it. I'm not sure to see jacaré but we did. I loved

Fun in the Everglades - We took the grandkids on the airboat ride - they enjoyed it and we got to see a couple of gators. The wildlife area was interesting with a giant gator and his girlfriend. Enjoyed it very much

Airboat ride - So, disclaimer - we only saw 2 alligators. But we understand that they are wild creatures and no one is baiting a station to get them to show up for a photo op. The ride itself was fun and soothing. We stopped by the exhibits after, and were able to hold a baby gator and see a few other animals and/or reptiles. An added bonus? The photographer did an amazing job capturing a picture of our family group!

Giro nelle Everglades - Cute park with small alligators and other reptiles. The seaplane ride does not go far into the swamp but had a correct quality / price ratio.

Pleasant - Tour is fine, exhibit is small but interesting. All okay but admission costs are expensive and it honestly didn't feel totally worth the amount of money paid for a family to enter.

Disappointing - It was honestly a disappointment. Apparently it was too hot and all of the alligators were hiding. This isn’t the fault of the tour operators but I wish they would have some kind of information alerting tourists that the likelihood of seeing gators was low. Literally the only thing that the guide stopped for was an Osprey. I was disappointed that our guide would not even stop when people on our boat pointed out other large birds resting in the water. It seemed like he was more concerned with getting back to the dock than ensuring we had a worthwhile experience.

Choose another tour! - Captain Mike was terrible!!! The delayed noon ride that he took us on was the worst waste of money I have ever spent on an airboat ride!!! All he did was stop and talk unnecessarily while waiting for lightening so that he could go back. Never again!
