The airboat is well worth the price of admission because they do donuts and other fun stuff on the boat! They also provide you with safety ear wear some that the noise from the boat doesn't hurt your hearing. The park itself is sometimes sad - the emu peck at each other, the mountain lion walks in circles around the cage, and there are hundreds of alligators on top of themselves. There is an alligator show where they feed some of them rats...and tell some jokes. The gift shop is another thing all together full of chocolate alligator poop. And there are alligator themed things all over the place. The good news, their signage is great and the grounds are cleaned and well maintained. Their bathrooms are super clean as well.

First time in Florida and I knew I wanted to experience an everglade tour with my family. After researching all the other companies that offered this tour on Yelp and Trip Advisor, although it was a little more expensive then the other tours, I decided on this one. It did not disappoint. My family took the 3 hour Swamp Buggy tour and the 1.5 Semi-Private Airboat tour. They were amazing. Our tour guide was Ozzie. He was amazing! He was very knowledgable and passionate about the everglades and he taught us alot! He answered all of our questions, was very funny, and accommodating to everything we needed. Thanks so much for the cool experience Ozzie.

I am so glad that we took this Everglade Airboat Nature Tours with this company. This is a semi-private 90 minute tour. I would basically say it was private because there were only two other people with us. Their boats are on the smaller size, only sitting 4-6 people including the captain. Captain Lorenzo was the perfect tour guide. It's apparent that he loves his job. He showed us around the everglades, and explained the different species, and plant life, and how they are intertwined. Because the airboats are very loud, and noisy, Captain Lorenzo stopped the airboat several times, while he took the time for us to actually touch, and feel the environment instead of just speeding by. At one spot while the boat was stopped we had a visitor come, and visit us. "Jack", I don't remember what kind of bird he is, but Captain Lorenzo gave us some sunflower seeds to put in the palm of our hand, and "Jack" perched himself on my hand, and proceed to eat the sunflower seeds. How cool is that! Thanks Captain Lorenzo. Another time Captain Lorenzo spotted an alligator, and stopped the boat so that we could get a good look, and actually soak in what we were seeing. Captain Lorenzo answered all of our questions, and I learned so much about the everglades is was very interesting. Did you know that the depth of Everglades only comes up to your knees? Well the part we were at. There is also a predator that has taken over the everglades, and has no business there, and is killing off the natural wildlife? Pythons! For whatever reason, be it being transported by Hurricanes and/or Man. People buy them as pets, and when they keep growing they are hard to manage, so the owners dump them in the everglades. Pretty soon there won't be anymore alligators. When the tour guides see a Python, they jump in, and take it out. I'm glad that didn't happen on our tour, even though that would have been pretty cool to see. After our fantastic "Highly Recommend" experience with this tour company, we wanted to go again, and drove down the street, and took a tour with a different everglade airboat tour company, one with a BIG airboat that seats 50 people! Let me just say... I was glad "Everglade Nature Tour" was my first experience, because the other everglade tour was such a disappointment. (I will write a separate yelp review on that company, which won't be favorable, sorry but I have to report the truth) Don't hesitate booking this tour, you won't be disappointed.

Captain Ozzie is the best! We got to meet alligator Bobby and got some fantastic photos and videos. Captain Ozzie provided us with a ton of information about the Everglades. He cares about the area as well as those on his boat. Best ride in the area!

There are so many airboat tours on hwy 41, but this one is the one to book. It's a little pricier than the other tours but you get a 90 minute ride, it is worth it. Very intimate with limited seating, you wont miss a thing. Our Captain Lorenzo was very knowledgeable and educated us about the Everglades and made sure we saw something worth while.

We booked a private airboat ride for two with Captain Ozzy. This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Captain Ozzy was personable, professional, knowledgeable (having grown up in the area) and very patient. Captain Ozzy introduced us to Bobby Bones the alligator and we were visited on board by a few friendly birds. I would HIGHLY recommend Everglades Nature Tours for a private or group tour.

We had sooo much fun on this trip. Loved the small boat so we didn't have a lot of other people to deal with and all questions were answered while out on the tour. The tour guide knew right where to look to find all the animals trying to hide. Super fun extra is that the tour guide spends so much time out there that the birds know him & land right on his head. Worth the trip!

One of the coolest experiences ever. Our tour guide, Steve, was friendly and very knowledgeable. We had a "semi-private" tour, but it was only one other couple on the boat with us. Four people total. I loved how we glided on the water. It was so cool to see how almost all of the Everglades is water. Steve also told us that it is not a swamp, but a river. Steve gave other interesting facts and I felt extremely knowledgeable afterwards. We got to see 3 gators on our tour, as well as fish and many different birds! I would definitely book this tour again, and recommend it to family and friends.

The airboat ride was smooth and comfortable, although the engine was roaring all that time (no problem for us).

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Everglades and made it more than just a great boat ride…read more And yes we saw a few gators!!

Growing up in Florida I thought I knew more about alligators than the average person, but I learned…read morea lot more (+ saw a lot of gators) during this Airport Tour. We booked an 11:30am tour for our family of 5 a few days ahead of time online. The email confirmation you receive doesn't provide the time you booked it for so make sure to write it down (especially if your mind slips into vacation mode like mine does). I wasn't exactly sure on the time, but the evening before we received a call saying that one of their guides had an emergency so they were canceling some of the tours. They asked if we could do a 12pm tour instead, which worked fine for our schedule. We were lucky to have this tour on a warm, sunny December day. My kids were complaining about the sun in their eyes and the heat while we were waiting for the airboat (bring hats and sunglasses for all), but all complaints ended as soon as the airboat took off. It was a gorgeous day to be on a boat and that alone made me happy. The alligators were an added bonus. I assumed we would see a few alligators, but we saw dozens. Our very informative tour guide stopped several times to point out alligators and shared a ton of info. He mentioned they really like the sun so our sunny day probably helped with so many sightings. The 50 minute tour was the perfect amount of time. I think my 9, 7 and 4 year old enjoyed the actual boat ride (especially the faster parts) and seeing the alligators. The information itself was a bit dry so I think they were a bit bored at times and it definitely went over my 4 year old's head. I was also a bit surprised they don't make you wear life jackets (especially the kids) on the boat, but then again you don't want to fall off into alligator land life vest or not. It was a fun activity and something new to try during our frequent trips to Florida, but definitely a one time thing (especially for the cost) and probably wouldn't do it again. I almost consider myself an alligator expert now.
