We booked the night tour at Sawgrass for the 5 of us (2x adults and 3x children) and had an amazing time, we were taken out in a large airboat onto the water and saw birds of prey, aligators including babies and frogs. It was a great experience that I would definately reccomend and hope to do again.
Our visit to Sawgrass Recreation Park was nothing short of fantastic! From start to finish, the experience was well organized, exciting, and memorable. The highlight of the trip was definitely the night airboat tour. Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the Everglades while keeping things fun and engaging. He made a point to interact with guests throughout the ride, which really added a personal touch to the experience. Most importantly, we felt completely safe and well taken care of the entire time. And the wildlife did not disappoint—the gators were active and “cooperating,” making for some thrilling and up-close moments you won’t forget. Seeing them in their natural habitat at night added a whole new level of excitement. If you’re in the area, this tour is an absolute must. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, education, and unforgettable Florida scenery!
This was a great experience. David was very informative and we were able to several alligators 🐊. It was neat to see the Everglades and the animals in their habitat.
This was a fun ride at night and we couldn’t believe how Captain Disco spotted gators in the dark from hundreds of yards away with his spotlight. He was full of great gator facts. Would definitely suggest this tour with Captain Disco!
We had a great time! We saw 5 alligators and learned more about the wildlife of the everglades. Captain Adam was well informed and was a great guide.
We had a great time! We saw several alligators and a couple predatory birds. Captain Andrew was awesome; grear sense of humor and very knowledgeable. The trip did not disappoint
The night tour was really cool. Even if we hadn’t seen any gators, it’s still an experience to be out there in the dark and would be worth it either way. We ended up seeing two gators toward the end of the tour but the captain had spotted more, they just swam away before we got to them. Definitely would recommend.
First time in the Flordia Everglades, Captain Jack was very knowledgeable on our Night tour. We saw a few alligators, an iguana, a few anhinga in a tree, and shooting star. Definitely would suggest the Florida Everglades Night Air Boat Tour.
We saw 4 alligators, the tour was great. The guide was very nice and made a lot of effort to see the alligators. Be sure to take mosquito spray with you.
An amazing experience. Captain Jack is very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time and highly recommend the tour. Just make sure you dress accordingly.
