Your admission includes a fanboat tour led by knowledgeable staff and an informational animal show. Always a lot of fun and a good way to spend half a day!

We were given a boarding number (first come first served even if booked ahead) and that boarding number wasn't called in the back for 1.5hr despite initially being told 50min wait. There was a "reptile show" casually happening in the back (where they went on economics tangents and the reptiles were in glass cages, so not much to see) and also a full restaurant with breakfast, burgers, fries, etc. The actual airboat was great though -- the driver served as a tour guide and paused the boat every so often to give historical/species fun fact. We actually got to see 2 alligators en route! The speed is quite fast at some points so it's an enjoyable boat ride, cool foliage, nice Florida experience. I wish they organized the actual boarding process/waiting time better (there was just a crowd of people around the boats in the back, no lines, no signage of what number is happening, no clear times). It's surprising it was so messily organized given this company has been around for decades. Also, the server for the restaurant was particularly sassy with all our adjacent tables that day. But the airboat ride is fun!

For the price, I think this was a great airboat option. Kids under a certain age are free and…read moreadults were priced well. Sadly we happened to show up the week that the tribe island was closed so there wasn't an Alligator show. We did see one large alligator AND they had a baby alligator for everyone to hold before you got on the boat. Some people might get mad that "we didn't see any" but nobody can control where the animals will be. It was also cool to hear a little about the Miccosukee history. But the ride was fun if you just wanna mark the Everglades ride off your list of must do things in Florida. They provided the kids with large headphones and adults with earplugs.

We learned so much on our 1.5 hour tour with Daniel (One of the Owners). We saw more gators then expected, learned so much about the habitat and natural resources in the Everglades.

Keep up the good work and If we ever return to Miami I would not hesitate for a second to book again. Thank you Daniel, Giselle, and Jodi!!!! FYI... You can get Lyft to pick up and drop off at the boat launch with no issues whatsoever.

It was late in the day and we had tried to do some Airboat Tours earlier in the week but we were traveling with our dog and they were not dog friendly. We decided to stop just to check and luckily for us, not only are they dog friendly but they were doing one last tour before the sunlight was gone. Our guide Fabian was awesome. He was super chill but informative and really did a great job. Especially considering that is was late in the day and he was only able to find one alligator. He definitely tried a lot of spots and it was clear that there would normally have been more wildlife to look as so even he seemed a bit disappointed but he definitely made the most of the birds and other wildlife that we did spot. There was a second alligator and even a baby gator when we arrived at the makeshift village stop that we watched swim in the water a bit. I really liked that Fabian was upfront about the fact that the "village" was just a replica for tourists and not really a relic. He also joked that he has a TV and it is nothing like how native people live today. We had a really nice time on the tour but it is incredibly loud and we spent some of the tour putting our headphones over our dogs ears to protect her from the sound. The office workers warned us about the noise though and they were so sweet they even offered to let her stay in the office with them while we took the tour. I definitely would not take her with us again if we did another tour, but only because I worried about her little ears. She did super well with everything else, including the gator being so close to us and getting on and off the boat. We spent well over $100 after tip on the tour for two people and a dog and it lasted about 45 minutes but I really feel like the experience was well worth the price and the employees here were just so friendly and kind. I highly recommend stopping here and taking a tour with this company.

They are passionate about the Everglades, preserving it, and really love what they're doing. For about hour, we zipped and stopped around the park, through channels in between the high saw grass, over grassy flats, and within a few canals dredged many years ago. The fresh air felt great and I think maybe my blood pressure eased for a few moments. We saw wildlife, including a peregrine falcon, other birds and of course, many alligators, either resting on the grass or swimming off to do whatever it is they do. The guides I think know pretty much where to find the alligators, some of which have names. River of Grass is one of the first swamp tours west of Miami off of highway 41 past the casino. The boats take you pretty far into the Everglades where you don't see or hear any civilization, only the quiet rustle of the grass, i.e. when the engines are not powering the boat thru the glades (why can't they make a quieter engine?). The pictures I took really don't do it justice.

We came out on 12/26 with the family to explore the Everglades, and let me tell you--it was an experience. First, you get an email with coordinates of where to meet. Pro tip: do not use Waze unless you enjoy being abandoned on the side of the freeway like a confused extra in a nature documentary. The coordinates lead you to a couple of unmarked pickup trucks and a few guys casually hanging out at the edge of the Everglades. No restrooms, no gift shops, no docks, no parking lots, no snacks. If nature calls, well... be prepared to answer it off the side of the airboat. Our boat guide was super prompt and helped us climb aboard. I was a little surprised there were no seatbelts or life jackets, but apparently when the water is only 18 inches deep. Our guide stopped every 20 minutes or so to talk about wildlife or check in with us. While the motor is running, you can't hear a thing, but they do give you earmuffs to help dampen the noise. We saw all kinds of birds and more than two dozen alligators during our 1.5‑hour expedition. The weather was a perfect 72 degrees with zero humidity, and the boat glides so smoothly it feels like you're floating on butter. Highly recommend this company and the whole experience. It's wild and absolutely worth it.
