This was an exceptional experience and value. Every step of the way was well planned and coordinated. They assisted with transportation and the driver doubled back when he discovered a member of our party left something in the vehicle. The time on the water was longer than all of the other options explored. This allowed the driver to go off the beaten path and spend time exploring and watching when interesting animals appeared. The whole experience was a perfect balance between fun and educational.

Fantastic experience. The boat ride was so fun, the guide was fun, and I also really learned a lot about the Everglades, alligators and Florida. Worth it.
This was easy to book and I had a great experience. The bus driver was early so called me and as I was on foot walking to the meeting point came and picked me up and also dropped me at my hotel on the way back. The airboat tour was really great fun and informative and the captains know where to find the alligators! We had a great presentation as well after with the alligators. Pick up was 8:45am and I was back at my hotel by 12:15 so a great half day excursion.
All inclusive including group photo. Alligator Al took good care of the car group: Very educational yet fun experience
Fantastic fun and informative trip! Highly recommended
We did not know much about alligators and appreciated learning more about them. We really enjoyed watching the staff interact with them and tickling them to get them to move.
Excellent excursion from start to finish
Was a great tour. Our guide Alex was nice and informative and overall a great experience. Went in the morning at 7:45am and was able to beat the crowd and the head. Recommend going in the morning for a more relaxing experience
Great experience. I always wanted to do this and I wasn’t disappointed. Great Service by Alligator inc. to accommodate my pickup. Alex driver was very helpful with all the information.
Tour guides were great; friendly, punctual, informative and let us know the schedule every step of the way. Transport was very comfortable in an AC Suburban. Nice trip!
Great comfortable A/C suburban vehicle transport from hotel in Fort Lauderdale to the gator place. Driver guide provided commentary enroute and kept us informed while we were there. The actual airboat ride was good; saw 3 gators and some vultures. They saw a short gator show.
Driver was timely, professional, warm and knowledgeable about the Everglades. Transportation was clean & comfortable. Tour was great! Everything was smooth!
Great tour of the Everglades with airboat ride. Transportation from hotel near cruise port was excellent and timely.
Was a cool tour, Alex the chauffeur is so kind, he was on time to picked me up at the point, he explained about Florida animals and its history during the trip. The trip at the airboat was super nice, guide crew are so nice too. They don’t guarantee to see alligators or any animal cause it’s wild animals. But fortunately we saw it. I’d like that the airboat trip would be longer. But that’s fine. Thanks you all.
Alex was our driver and guide and he was fantastic! He was warm and friendly and helpful with information on what will be done on the excursion, giving us helpful tips about do ing options afterwards. We had a great time!
Great service and recommend the service for small group. Friendly staff took care of us well and enjoyed the trip
Great experience. Staff were all professional and you could tell they enjoyed their jobs!
Amazing. The whole thing from pick up To stop off was an extremely pleasant experience. Everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly. I would absolutely do this again.
It was very nice. Saw a lot of alligators, fish, and turtles. Got to take a picture while holding an alligator.
Alex and navin were amazing :)
Great experience. Gino was a great airboat captain and Alex picked us up directly from our hotel. Great learning experience and the gator boys were fun to watch with alligator wrestling.
Great experience Pick up and drop off at your hotel very easy and we'll organized The tour was amazing
Highly Recommended! I had a wonderful experience on this Everglades alligator tour! From the hotel pickup to the airboat ride and alligator presentation, the entire experience was enjoyable and educational. The bus driver was very friendly and accommodating. He picked us up from two different hotel locations and gave us the option of being dropped back at our hotels or at the beach. I chose the beach, and I really appreciated his flexibility. The airboat ride was definitely a highlight. It was exciting to experience the Everglades from the water and see alligators in their natural environment. I was surprised to see that the alligators appeared almost black—I always imagined them being more green! We saw a couple of them bubbling through the water, which was really cool to witness. One tip: bring or purchase earplugs! The airboat is LOUD. Fortunately, earplugs were available at the souvenir shop for only $1. The shop also had plenty of fun alligator-themed souvenirs, including T-shirts, magnets, postcards, and stickers. The alligator presentation afterward was fascinating—and definitely a little intense! Watching the guide safely handle an alligator, open its mouth, and demonstrate its strength up close was both impressive and a little gory and gooey. 😄 It definitely gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of these incredible animals. It was a very hot and humid morning, but that’s part of experiencing the Everglades. Overall, I had a great time, learned a lot about alligators and the Everglades, and enjoyed meeting some of the friendly locals who help make these tours possible. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting South Florida who wants to experience the Everglades, see alligators, and learn something new along the way!
Definitely worth the money that was awesome. We had a great time
Brilliant experience!! If you’re in the area book or visit to see some amazing wildlife and understand more about the Everglades. Picked up near our hotel and dropped off at our hotel. Brilliant warm welcome from our host/driver. On route, he kept us informed and shared his knowledge. Our boat captain went over and above to find as many types of wildlife including a number of alligators. Highly recommended
Alex was great. Stand up guy and very informative. Made the 40 minute trip great and was a great driver. The Everglades park we visited was great and clean. They went out of their way to make sure everyone saw everything from the airboat. The gator show was good and humorous. One of the highlights of our trip to Florida.
The transportation to and from was fantastic. Alex was fantastic and gave us tons of information about the Alligators. The airboat itself was just okay. Our guide Ash talked too much about a specific plant and was stopped way too long. Advertisement said the boat would go fast 6 times. We went fast 2xs for about 20 seconds. Saw some turtles and cool birds and a few alligators but they do not come up or bear the boat. I know you cannot control wild life but at least let everyone enjoy the speed of zipping through the Everglades. The alligator show was a bit lame...lots of talking and not enough action. The opportunity to hold a baby alligator and a python was great but I think the charge should be cheaper since we already are paying for the tour and park experience.
Great tour, picked up by Al, who actually telephoned the morning to arrange for us to be picked up at easier meeting point. The everglades boat ride was fab with Capt Ash as our guide, we saw multiple alligators, tortoises and other wildlife. This then followed a show with staff explaining alligators and also having his face virtually in the alligators mouth. Well worthy trip and would recommend.
Saw alligators (in the wild) for the first time! Don’t have many in Alaska lol. We learned a lot about gators from the show as well and my son held a snake!
Alex was fantastic. Communication was great beforehand and during. This tour is well worth the time and money.
This your was fantastic. The driver picked us up on time and we made it to the Holliday Shores park with plenty of time to spare to shop before the airboat tour. The alligator airboat tour was fantastic. Jeff was a great airboat captain and guide. We saw lots of wildlife and alligators. The show was so so, but still enjoyable. Would definitely recommend doing the morning tour if you decide to book this great tour.
Easy pickup and the driver was great. He helped us get to the correct areas for the boat, ride and the other attractions.
Seeing alligators are hit and miss. You are told that up front. You dont venture out very far down stream.
Great trip from start to finish. Tour operators Aligator Tours were very helpful and accommodating , collecting us directly from our hotel. Friendly driver. Boat ride itself was great saw 4 Aligators and a Turtle. Show at the end was also great! All in all well worth it and would highly recommend. Very informative too!
Absolutely awesome. Worth every penny!
My daughter and I really enjoyed the excursion. Al was amazing. He was very knowledgeable. Kept things light and funny. Gino was our Captain. He also worked so hard for us to be able to see the alligators and wildlife. We were lucky that the alligators were out in numbers on our trip. Would probably do it again.
Excellent, really enjoyed the tour. Pick up and drop off was prompt, Alex was an interesting guide. Saw alligators also.
While our guide, Alex, who picked us up from the hotel was good and provided an interesting commentary on our journey out to the Everglades, the guide, Gavin on the Airboat, was very poor. His commentary left a lot to be desired. His voice could not be heard over the background noise. What I did hear was short, unintelligible and provided very little information about the alligators and the diverse plants. The alligator show at the end was naff. I wanted to see the Everglades which I did, but wouldn’t recommend this experience.
Excellent short trip, great guides and comfortable! Plenty wildlife to spot too!
We had a great experience at Everglades Holiday Park. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole visit enjoyable from start to finish. A special thank you to our airboat captain, Ana. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and did an excellent job spotting wildlife that many of us would have completely missed. She took the time to explain the animals, their behaviors, and the Everglades ecosystem in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. You can tell Ana genuinely enjoys what she does, and her enthusiasm made the tour even better. We saw alligators, turtles, and a variety of birds, and learned so much about the Everglades along the way. The combination of a fun airboat ride, great wildlife sightings, and Ana’s expertise made for a memorable experience. Highly recommend Everglades Holiday Park to anyone visiting the area.
Fantastic experience and the organisers were more than happy to pick me up from the hotel I was staying at in Ft Lauderdale. Great day out!
The boats hold at least 20 people. Visibility is poor as the plastic front window is old and scratched. If your in the middle of the. Oat you’re out of luck. Everglades trip was only 45 minutes. Stayed in only the major waterways where you saw more airboats than birds/reptiles. On shore “exhibits” were extremely cheesy - didn’t bother going to those. Pay a little more and get a true Everglades experience on a smaller boat at a different location. Everglades Holiday park is good if you have young children with no attention span. All others should find a company that starts at Alligator Alley
Great experience. Would love you spend more time in the airboat and see more of the Everglades but would do it again. Victor was our tour guide and he did a great job and shared a lot of knowledge.
Amazing experience. Alex picked us up at our hotel and gave us a lot of information about the Everglades before our arrival there. Victor took over as boat captain on the Glade Runner and we got to see four gators, which was great! Followed up by a show with the Gator boys. This was the perfect family experience.
Great experience! Transportation, tour and gator boys show were all top notch! Would definitely do again!
The entire experience from the was great. Transportation the boat ride the gator show at the end. We’re all very engaging and knowledgeable of the Everglades and the wildlife. Even though you might not see a ton of wildlife at certain times of the year learning about the Everglades and being there was an experience in itself.
Our driver, Alex and our Captain, Jimbo were the best. Such a fun tour! We saw lots of alligators, even though we went in the dry season.
It was a nice tour for a reasonable price. Alex was our driver and practiced safe transportation. Ashton was our tour guide on the airboat and he helped us spot gators and different wildlife, while giving us interesting facts about the animals and cracking a few jokes. We saw about 7-8 different gators, but they are QUICK so I suggest taking videos if you want any pictures. The gator show was okay, but a bit short. Option to hold a baby gator or snake for $10 extra (or both for $20)! It was overall a cool experience and worth what you pay.
This tour checked off all my boxes: easy pickup from nearby hotel, friendly guides, and even had an alligator show at the end!
The boat ride is only an hour long and it is a hit or miss as to what you will see. They also do not go very far into the Everglades.
