Everglades & Airboat

Everglades, situated in state of Florida is one of the biggest swamp areas in USA. The swamp was over centuries of water pouring from lake Okeechobee. What makes Everglades special is a rich animal and plant world ( from aligators to bears and a variety of different types of plants).

In Everglades National Park, if you're bored then you're doing something wrong, join a park ranger for an hour walk along various paths or photograph alligators just a few metres away from them, enjoy an evening campfire with your friends.

Everglades is the 3rd largest National Park in the USA and is visited by more than 1,000,000 people every year. When people mention Everglades they mostly think on alligators, and for a good reason. Swamp areas are heaven for alligators and that's what makes them thrive in that ecosystem, but not only alligators but a large number of birds is also attracted to it because of very good feeding locations.

To sum up, Everglades is a beauty to behold, if you're there for the animals, plants or just the sightseeing you will be amazed.

#1 FLORIDA EVERGLADES AIRBOAT RIDE

Everglades Tours

The airboat was fun and it was exciting to see the wildlife! We saw an alligator, snapping turtle, and snake out in the water and the alligator and turtle came right up to our boat. Our guide, Captain Disco, also took the time to educate us on the Everglades!

Everglades Airboat Tours

I always wanted a ride on an air boat and it was a great experience...the company put on a good show and it was an enjoyable day.. nice staff and we saw crocodiles so everyone was happy...they have a cafe for quick eats and drinks, also an animal sanctuary!

Group at Gator Gazebo

We enjoyed the 30 min Airboat ride but also a visit to the reptile and wildlife area at the park. Captain Disco was friendly and informative. We got to see 2 gators. A good short tour and worthwhile experience when you are in the area.

Exceeded my expectations. We were lucky enough to see some alligators but even if we didn’t I still would’ve enjoyed the tour. Learning about the history, present and future plans for the Everglades was so interesting.

The trip was the perfect amount of time (30mins). We were able to see one alligator on our trip. The captain was knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. We also enjoyed the reptile zoo after the boat tour and were able to pet a baby alligator. Something different and fun to do for the whole family.

a man flying through the air over a body of water

What an amazing adventure. I have been on many airboats in the Everglades but the adventure at night is very different. Saw many many gators. Guide was wonderful!

an alligator in the water at night

It's true you may not see wildlife depending on the time of day or the time of year but the boar ride itself is not only entertaining and pleasant overall the guides are very knowledgeable and informative. Don't go on a rainy or extremely hot day and I highly recommend the Gator Nights tours. The photo souvenirs are reasonably priced, staff is friendly, good food at the food truck, and the homes they have provided for unreturnable to the wild animals is sweet the caretakers love the like pets. Good for kids, ask about the annual pass for residents.

We were absolutely happy about our time at Sawgrass Recreation! Check in was easy, and Captain Lauderdale was fabulous! We saw 4 alligators and got a great education on the birds and other animals in the area. Well worth the price of a private tour!
