    The Everglades
    Shawn F.

    We loved our tour! We have three kids ages 4/6/9 and we all had an amazing memorable experience! We found gators right away, even baby gators! Lots of awesome birdwatching too. We highly recommend this company. Our tour guide Wyatt was great!

    This was my husband's desire but probably the highlight of our trip. Captain Billy was amazing and very informative. We saw nine alligators, feed a bird and saw some turtles.

    My husband and I went on a 90 minute airboat ride / tour with Rodger and had a blast! We saw too many alligators to count, several over 10 feet long and only a few feet from the boat. We saw herons, minnows, and other wildlife. The ride was smooth and so much fun. We highly recommend this experience as part of a visit to the Everglades.

    We had an absolute blast with our tour guide Pat. It was educational and fun. You can tell he loves his job. This is an amazing experience.

    We had an amazing experience on our family vacation. Even though my husband had booked our tour a few days later by mistake, they really went out of their way to still accommodate us. Captain Jack was amazing! He was knowledgeable and took the time to explain things to all of our family including our inquisitive 8 year old. Captain Jack delivered on an amazing sunset, two gators, talked fishing and hunting, and he thanked the Lord for letting him see a river otter in his over five years of doing this. True blessing to have met this young man.

    We had an amazing time on our airboat tour with Captain Billy! We saw tons of alligators, some really cool birds, and even a friendly turtle along the way. The whole experience was exciting, smooth, and so much fun for everyone. Truly the best airboat ride ever!

    We have never done an airboat ride before so we thought we'd try it. It was the best time! Our captain was very informative and friendly. He was so full of knowledge about gators and the Everglades. We really enjoyed it.

    Captain Ray was amazing! We saw gators and had a great time. Everyone was super nice and was a great experience for our 4, 8, 19 year old kids and the adults!

    After researching multiple Everglades airboat tours, we decided on this one due to excellent reviews. We went on this tour with high expectations, and this airboat tour still exceeded them! Captain Billy was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. He took us to see a wide variety of wildlife and was very informative. From plants to birds, to fish and gators, Billy taught us a plethora of interesting facts from his wealth of knowledge. Billy's expertise about the area was evident. If you are looking for the best airboat tour of the Everglades, look no further! I promise you will not be disappointed!

    AMAZING! This was our second time with this company and I'll book again and again with them. Second time we did the 8am tour and we were the only ones on the boat which was great Our guide was super and did a great job with education, history, the animals and finding the gators We will return

    Awesome guide, Captain Moe

    My husband and I scheduled a private tour and it was an amazing experience! The guide was super knowledgeable about the ecosystem and had so many interesting facts to share. We spotted a rose spoonbill, as well as about a dozen other bird species. And the alligators! Over a dozen and fascinating that the guide can recognize individual gators. Would highly recommend.

    Captain Moe was so great...from start to finish. I asked him how many alligators I was going to see. He asked me how many I wanted to see. I would've been happy with two. He delivered about 20! He's very passionate and knowledgeable about what he does and will answer every question you have in complete detail. His number one goal is to make sure you see as much as possible, down to this really beautiful local bird!

    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!

    This place was such an amazing experience! I absolutely loved it. The staff was incredibly friendly…read moreand super knowledgeable--they shared so much interesting information about the different species in the Everglades, which made it even more enjoyable. The airboat tour was definitely the highlight. Our tour guide (I wish I could remember his name!) was so fun, engaging, and informative. He answered all of our questions and made the whole experience feel exciting and memorable. I'm from Las Vegas, so getting to see live alligators and be out in nature like that was really special. I was honestly expecting way more bugs, but it wasn't bad at all--I barely got bitten! They also have a cute little gift shop if you want to grab souvenirs. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience and something I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area!

    This was the second time we had been to Coopertown. The first time was a few years ago and we…read moreabsolutely loved and thought it was well worth it! This time, I'm sorry to say it was a waste of time and money. There were 5 of us and we paid ahead of time 130.99 on Groupon for our tickets, along with an additional 8.00 a person National park fee once we got there! Along with a child. The first time we went, there was an exhibit where you could pet a baby alligator and ask any questions you had about them. This time there was nothing. This time we got on the airboat ride and it wasn't until we were headed back that an alligator was spotted! Of course we were not told beforehand that it was mating season and spotting gators was not as likely to happen. Had I known that, or been warned I would have reconsidered. I was on the other side of the boat of course so Even standing, I barely got a glimpse of the gator before he went under. We got back to the doc and that was it. I felt like I had paid almost 200 for an experience that was very different from our first trip. I contacted the company and talked with the assistant manager Mary Anne, and told her of my disappointment and she didn't seem to care. They didn't offer any sort of compensation, and the customer service was more of a "suck it up"- experience. I contacted Groupon and they said it was something that had to be worked out with the merchant. A few years ago I would have highly recommended this experience! Now, not so much. It's was overpriced and not guaranteed or cared about if you see anything.
