Rhett was an awesome... - Rhett was an awesome guide, gave in depth responses regarding the Everglades and its plants and animals. Airboat ride was also nice. Never thought I’d hold a snake or alligator, but Rhett made it not scary .

Take this tour! - Rhett was extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. The airboat captain was amazing with the water ride. The whole tour was fun, a new experience, and worth going. Learning about snales, gators and anything else that was asked about the FL ecosystem, was incredible. Highly recommend!

First time to Florida! - This was a really fun adventure! Had a wonderful guide, Jacob! Very knowledgeable and friendly! We first took 1+ hour nature hike - Jacob was very informative and kept all of us engaged. We then drove to the airboat facility where Jacob introduced us to multiple snakes and 2yr old alligator! Jacob was so kind to the kids , adults,too! We ALL had a great time! We then got on the airboat
,with Fred as our captain , saw LOTS of gators and beautiful birds, GOOD TIMES! Highly recommend! Just the right amount of time for the little ones and the older folks!😄

Marsh/airboat fun - You walk to a marsh and see a lot of different birds & plants. We saw 12-15 alligators on the air boat. It was great to learn so much from our guide, Pete. He let us hold a few snakes & an alligator which was fun for the kids.

Everglades Experience - Rhett was very knowledgeable and pointed out lots of interesting things on our hike. JT took us on a pontoon tour — saw many cool birds, a turtle, and some alligators. Rhett showed us some cool snakes and baby alligators — we were able to handle them as well.

Saw a lot of reptiles! - This was a unique and fantastic experience. Our tour guide Leah was very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot of interesting ecological information from her.
The Airboats and Alligators tour was fun. Saw a lot of wildlife, including two adult alligators sunning themselves less than 10 feet from where our airboat was gliding past. Ear protection was provided, and the guide stopped the airboat when we flit close to something to see, and we had no trouble hearing him. As was suggested, we wore windbreakers and were happy we did, as it is extra chilly when your traveling fast over water.
The reptile show at the end was an additional highlight, as we had the opportunity to hold a baby alligator and various snakes.
100% would recommend this tour.
Note that you do have to drive from the end of the hike to a totally different location for the airboat tour—it is not walkable, and it’s remote enough you can’t use ride shares.
Also be prepared with waterproof footwear for the short walk, regardless of season. Even in the dry winter, there was enough moisture on the trail that my shoes were wet at the end of the mile long walk.

Fantastic tour with a knowledgeable guide! Awesome experience! - This is tour was so much fun! You start out on a very easy nature hike (no hills, all grass), then you take an airboat ride and see loads of birds and some gators. At the end of the tour you get to learn about reptiles and even hold some! Our guide, Lia, was very knowledgeable about plants and animals and was able to answer all of our questions. You can tell she really cares about the reptiles. We were very happy with the entire tour and would recommend it to others. It was a good value for a tour that lasted nearly four hours.
