    This was the second time I did one of River of Grass Adventure's boat tours. Both times, my guides…read more/ boat Captains were great. 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.

    What an absolutely unforgettable experience!

Robert was our guide, and he was incredible: knowledgeable, engaging, and so great with the kids. He made the entire ride fun, safe, and educational. My kids had an amazing time, and honestly, I had the best time ever--it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I would 100% recommend this airboat ride to everyone. If you're visiting, this is a must-do!

    Made the long drive from Naples to try out a private tour on a fan boat. Looked at lots of options…read more Chose Tigertail because we could book for just the family, they provided ear protection, padded seating on the boats and they have been operating for a long time. Bert was our guide and we couldn't have had a better time! One of our kids declared it "the best boat trip ever." Bert was super knowledgeable about the wildlife, environment and sustainability. Their team obviously cares for the wildlife and is working to rehabilitate a number of small animals that they have on an island for various reasons. One of our participants was a photographer. Captain Bert was an expert fan boat operator, lining up the wildlife shots as we went. Extra points for that. Our tour for 6 people was $450 before tip. It was worth it as this was an absolute highlight of our trip!

    Absolutely the best trip of my life! Thank you to Tiger Tail Airboat Tours, especially Tristan and…read moreWilder. Tristan, the grandson of the chief, made the tour so special and personal. We met three amazing alligators -- Cougar, her daughter, and Mr. Big Head -- plus a bunch of adorable babies! The Everglades were breathtaking, and the whole vibe was peaceful, exciting, and full of life. I felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. The experience was unforgettable -- beautiful scenery, great energy, and genuine people. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florida!

    Did this with a group from my husband's work they set everything up. Left towards the evening so…read morewe were able to catch the sunset which was stunning. A two story boat the cruses to the Jungle island. Drinks on the boat while you can sit or walk around while enjoying the scenery. Beautiful waterfront homes and yachts big ones little one. While your cruising other people wave to you they have a little bit of music playing. I enjoyed standing in the front it was very enjoyable and just loved the sunset Florida has some of the most beautiful sunsets incredible. We arrived at the island and greeted with friendly people where all the entertainment began. We sat down and ate they brought the food bbq to the table brought is drinks during the dinner they had live music that followed outside fire dancers and hula dancing. Then you were able to walk around the island birds a few animals jungle vibe. Than back on the boat for a ride back. Food was chicken which was tender and tasty. Ribs that feel off the bone with extra bbq sauce. Corn bread coleslaw.

    Great way to spend 90 minutes. Cost was reasonable. Boat left exactly at departure time…read more Sights were interesting although most of the trip was taken up with view of famous people's homes. This was expected though since most of these types of boat rides are similar in that respect. One interesting highlight was the trip into Port Canaveral to see some of the cruise ships in port. The tour guide/docent named Mason kept us engaged throughout the trip with his knowledge and an occasional one-liner. All in all a very pleasant afternoon. Highly recommended
