A nice tour. Unfortunately, because of the time of year, the only gators we saw were in captivity! The bus driver had fun commentary.

Expected to go to the Everglades National Park instead bus took us to the Sawgrass Recreational Park very disappointed. This was total mis advertisement. Also, made numerous stops to drop off and pick up individuals like a local bus ride not tour.

Enjoyed the trip, it was well-organised. The bus left on time, got back on time, the boat ride was fun (don’t expect to see ‘gators in the wild, though) and we didn’t have to wait long for it. Good and drinks available at the center, enjoyable time overall

Awful experience. Wouldn’t recommend total rip off
Daniel_B

The tour was horrible. We didn’t even make it to the Everglades. Booked a tour for 8 for a bachelor party amd the bus broke down before even taking off leaving us locked into a sweaty closed in bus, we got tired of waiting and almost passing oht so we got off the bus as they had no idea when we’d be departing. They then refused refund or tickets for another day. Horrible horrible experience

Very unorganized, bus air conditioning was poor at best. Maybe a 20 minute boat ride with no alligators in sight. We have done airboat rides at different locations that have been amazing. Save your money and go elsewhere!!

Although we didnt see an alligator during the ride, the speedboat was fun and the driver gave us some cool facts about the Everglades. The alligator exhibit was also nice and rhe worker who went into the alligator exhibit was fun and interactive with the crowd.

Bad experience
Bjorn_H
, May 2022
My girlfriend and I booked the tickets for the Everglades Airboats Safari. We couldn’t join the group at the meeting point so we decided to go directly to the park. Arriving there we realized that Viator was using that park to convince people to buy the tickets but they are showing another park. We ended up buying new tickets for the park. I asked for refund but noone responded.

Cool but wouldn’t do it twice :)
Chelsie_Z

It was a nice afternoon just a shorter ride than I excepted when on the water! We sadly didn’t see any alligators in the wild but still a nice experience. The show after was interesting, we learned a bunch of things as well! Would’ve probably chose a bigger tour next time.

Long bus ride, not a lot of wildlife
Anthony_R
, May 2022
Looking bus ride, lots of stops and waiting. Didn't get to see much of anything out in the boat, and the tire was cut short by a storm. The exhibits were fun and informative, if I could rate them separately I'd give the bus ride a 1, fanboat ride a 2 and the exhibits a 4.

Misleading Tour Description

The listing was misleading. Much of the tour time was spent on the bus - approximately 3 hours of the 4.5 hour tour. On the positive side, the short airboat was a lot of fun!

We saw one alligator on a 20 minute boat ride that we were told would be 40. The tour afterwards was short but informative, however, it did not make up for the 1 1/2 hour bus ride.

Fun overall
British_B
, Feb 2022
I’m happy that we got to actually see a few alligators and get them on video because the guide said they hadn’t been out in a few weeks. Only bad thing is, be careful in the eating area because a bird grabbed my motzarella stick right from my hand as I was about to eat it. In addition, it seemed as if our time was cut short a bit from what our original ticket stated.
