Hold on tight for the most popular Florida Everglades airboat ride, at Sawgrass Recreation Park! An exhilarating airboat tour is the perfect introduction to the Everglades and its turtles, fish, Florida gators and wading birds.

It was easy to get to and very clean, check in went smoothly and everyone was very friendly. Our Capt. was Jimmy and he was very informative and passionate about alligators and the ecosystem in the Everglades. We saw a couple of alligators, it was a cloudy windy day so not a lot out. Regardless we have a new appreciation for alligators now after listening to Jimmy. We would definitely go back at night next time!

The outfit is put together well with both a wildlife boat tour and exhibit center. We went in the morning when the alligator sighting was supposed to better, but mostly saw other wildlife. Our leader, Captain John was entertaining and informative. We did see an alligator sunning in some brush but couldn't get a good view. I would suggest going on the trip especially if never experiencing the Everglades in a fan-boat but come with a limited expectation of alligator sightings.

They overbooked and we waited for 2 hours and decided to just leave and not completely lose a vacation day. The ticketing staff was rude and unhelpful. There’s literally nothing to do in this area. We went to the Lion safari the next day and it was a MUCH better experience. Don’t waste your time here!!!

It was a beautiful Sunday morning and we were the first airboat on the water. We saw Osprey, Alligators, Iguana, Gallinule, and Coot. I loved the endless blue sky and grasses with the wind in my hair. Our guide was very knowledgeable and honestly I could have stayed on the water much longer than 40 minutes. I highly recommend this tour. It is a great value for the money.

We went to the park to take an airboat ride in the Everglades. What a wonderful experience, our guide Jimmy was very knowledgeable and experienced. We saw some alligators and different birds. When we got off the boat we saw some of the reptiles and alligators as well. Even got to hold one! Great value for the price. Be sure to head out for a visit🤩

It was a nice trip on the airboat… This is more about a fun little airboat ride than seeing turtles, alligators, and other wildlife. Though we did see a couple of alligators, and some birds in their natural habitat. Don’t expect to see a lot of alligators or turtles in the wild, but all in all, it was fun and well narrated.

Saw a bunch of alligators big and small! Captain was personable and knowledgeable. Petting the baby alligator and holding is was amazing! My whole family loved it.

Fun to be on an airboat. Guess due to winds we saw one aligator but not much else unfortunately. Guide didn't really share much information so wish we had chance to learn more about the Everglades, wildlife that lives there (even if didn't see) and how the airboat works. I asked several questions so got a bit of information but felt we could have learned much more

We were only able to see one alligator and couple of birds. The trip would have been more interesting, if the captain provided more information regarding different wildlife and plants available in the Everglades, since most people do the boat ride are not from the area. Overall staff appeared disinterested and unfriendly.
Gator bites were good but overpriced for the quantity provided.
