Justin was a great captain! He was very informative, and made sure we saw at least 1 gator up close. Highly recommend! Awesome experience!

What a wonderful experience. We did the night hovercraft tour. Our captain Jack was brilliant. He really tried to find all the alligators and we saw four. Great knowledge about the alligators and area. We were far out and the stars were beautiful. Bring bug spray and cover up though. Gift shop is very reasonable and lots of things to buy. The next day we visited the on land part. It was really quiet and we literally had Nick to ourselves. He was amazing and took lots of time to tell us facts and interesting stories. We met canibal and his “wife” Crystal and their baby, got to pat little smiling Dr Pepper. I highly recommend this magical wee place.

Excellent airboat tour with extremely knowledgeable skipper. Great animal exhibit where you can get up close and personal. Fun for the whole family with ages ranging from 3 to 61. Amazing value for money.

We had the best time at sawgrass! The boat ride through the Everglades was amazing and our captain was awesome! We even saw a baby gator! We knew it wouldn’t be likely to see much due to how warm it still is, but just being on the airboat is worth it! The exhibits were great and the employees knew all details of every animal. Truly was an awesome experience for the entire family and we will definitely go back!

My family and I had a great experience from the get go. Upon arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful. The captain we had was very informative about the animals we were able to see. They have a nice reptile exhibit with several animals. One of the staff even offered for us to pet one of the juvenile alligators. The fools truck onsite has great food at a good price. The gift shop had an excellent assortment for things for both kids and adults with the price being very reasonable. Such a great facility!

We enjoyed the airboat ride but did not see much wildlife as it was pretty hot and the alligators were staying under water to keep cool. We really enjoyed the exhibits/animal encounter. We held a live small alligator. We saw the huge gators they rescued and we were lucky that we were there for the animals feeding time because they only eat every 2 weeks. We enjoyed seeing all the animals there even the ones that just room free like peacocks and other native birds. The price was really good as everything was included for around $31/person.

Nice experience if you have the chance. Quick excursion however, you view the wildlife and hear about the Everglades.

I enjoyed the boat ride (make sure you sit in the first row)! Just the boat ride was great. We saw a gator or two and it was really cool. Just being in the Everglades National Park is something to remember! I have so many beautiful pictures. I was looking for the many birds that call the Everglades their habitat, saw a few!
