    First of all, our flight was cancelled and we had to reschedule this tour. They were very responsive and gave us no issues whatsoever to switch our reservation. Thankfully they still had the availability while we were in the area. My boyfriend and I loved this tour! We thought it was a great experience and well worth the cost. Tyler was an awesome tour guide who was incredibly knowledgeable of all things nature. We saw so many alligators and more. Would recommended this tour and do it again!

    Although our tour time had to be changed due to a glitch in the website, we didn't mind at all. This was one of the most fun experiences we've ever had. Thomas, our guide, was experienced and so knowledgeable. We saw so many different species of wildlife thanks to his keen eyes. There were turtles, snakes, birds of all varieties, fish jumping everywhere, and of course lots of alligators. The ecosystem was absolutely stunning! The ride was exhilarating and fast at times but we never once felt unsafe. Thank you Thomas and Everglades Swamp Tours for the amazing experience and memories we will keep for a lifetime. We will definitely be repeat customers next time we visit the area.

    The captain was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and the wildlife. Took his time to find us some gators; the water levels were low and I'm not sure if it helped us see more of them because they were all in the river rather than scattered through the grass but we saw lots! Then, we had a fun time riding and drifting through the grass for a nice conclusion to our house long trip:) also saw other wildlife like birds and turtles but definitely lots of gators :) would highly recommend going and I'd definitely want to go again!

    A great tour and well worth the time and money. Bryan L was our tour guide and he was the perfect mix of knowledge and laughs. He did more than just point out the obvious, instead he shared stories of the Everglades and explained why things are done the way they are. The tour was a blast for our group and something the kids will remember for a long, long time.

    Amazing tour and one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had! Sitting on an airboat, gliding smoothly through the seemingly infinite swamps, breeze running through my hair (hold onto your hats!), and spotting alligators. Our guide Mike S was experienced, knowledgeable, and fun — he shared fascinating facts and anecdotes about the wildlife, plants, and different areas along the ride, and kept us comfortable and entertained throughout. Thank you Mike! I would 100% love to come back for another tour if I'm ever in the area again. 🐊💚

    The group tour I reserved online was an all around great time, well worth the time and money! Bryan C. was our guide and he was fabulous! Knowledgeable and entertaining! Perfect for the nature lover I am! I highly recommend. Bring sunscreen and bug spray. I arrived early to have a choice seat.

    We were camping nearby, so we decided to do our first airboat ride, and it was awesome! Our guide, Gary, was really nice and funny and knowledgeable about the whole area. We had so much fun, and Gary made sure we got to see an alligator up close. Great ride!

    I had an amazing time on the Everglades Swamp Tour with my kids! The experience was truly unforgettable. Our tour guide and captain, Dillon?, was not only very friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the area. We got to see the stunning wildlife up close, including an alligator 🐊 up close and personal. The kids had an absolute blast on the fan boat – it was so much fun for them. Overall, it was a fantastic adventure that provided both entertainment and education. I highly recommend Everglades Swamp Tours for an exciting and informative experience in the beautiful Everglades!

    We had a great time on the tour. Gary is a great tour guide and very knowledgeable of the area. He also introduced us to a friendly alligator and many people were able to take selfies.

    We went on the 10am tour. It was already 90 degrees out. Our guide, Blake, gave us the heads up about it being so hot that the wildlife is usually hiding out from the sun but he knew exactly where to take us. We saw 3 gators, a soft shell turtle, plenty of Oscar’s, and a bunch of bugs of course. Blake is very knowledgeable and shared it with us. We really enjoyed the tour. Definitely recommend Blake as your captain 👨‍✈️.

    Gary our tour guide was great and knowledgeable.We really had a lot of fun.We got the chance to see a medium size alligator.I wish we would have seen more of them but apparently the weather was too hot so most of them stayed under the water. The boat was comfortable and they have water in case you forgot to bring some.I highly suggest you bring a cap or a hat (that doesn’t fly in the wind) and put some sunscreen because it can be really hot and there is no shade. I highly recommend!

    We toured in August 2023 and it was great! I did much research on the many available companies and they didn't disappoint. My 9,7,5 year old road along also. The guide was personable, knowledgeable and considerate.

    Outstanding experience! We absolutely loved the airboat tour of the Everglades. Saw tons of wildlife. Many gators, turtles, fish, as well as a tremendous variety of birds. Our guide Gary was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He made us feel safe and provided us with valuable information about the ecosystem. We also had so much fun riding through the marshlands. This is a must do activity while in the area. Highly recommended! A++

    Our tour was cut short due to a lightening storm rolling in but it was still an amazing experience. The ride was spectacular and the guide took particular care with our safety. The little alligator we say was so cute!!!!!! Beautiful experence

    This was a great tour! We had an extra day before going on a cruise and decided to do an Everglades swamp tour. We had so much fun and it was exciting to see different creatures in their natural habitat! Our tour guide was Truckie and he was the best! Great guide and full of information. We did the private tour for the four of us. Highly recommend!

    I've wanted to visit the Everglades for years. And the only way to do this is by airboat and Everglades Swamp Tour didn't disappoint. Gary gave us an outstanding experience by seeing two alligators, riding through tall grass and watching the weather as there was a tropical depression in south Florida. Gary's #1 concern was safety. Great experience!

    We had a great time on our airboat tour. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish they let us know ahead of time we would see limited alligators. We only saw two alligators since it was so hot and not the right season but our guide Mike was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the area, history and the ecology in the Everglades. If you go in July like we did they should also have told us to Bring a beach towel to sit on because the seats get hot. Otherwise the company was great to deal with. They allowed us to change and adjusted our tour. We hope to go again when the alligators are more active and will request Mike.

    The tour was amazing, and Kenny, our guide really made it a fantastic experience, both on the explanations but also the spirit. We also fell his love/ passion for both the everglades, the fauna but also for his customers as he would not hesitate to turn around when some great sight would show up. Truly great. Boat was also good. I highly recommend.

    What a great experience! We easily did book in advance a group tour doing an hour trip in the Everglades. This was both big fun combined with interesting information about alligators, pythons and other animals living here. The most awesome was, that out guide was able to attract a huge alligator towards our airboat and he came very close to us. Otherwise it’s great to almost fly through that amazing and unique nature. A trip with the Everglades Swamp Tours is highly recommend!

    Dylan was our tour guide today. He was amazing. He took the time to answer questions, listened to us and drove with care. The tour was absolutely peaceful and beautiful. It did not feel touristy at all. If you're looking to get out into nature and experience it first hand, choose everglades swamp tours. Ask for Dylan. He's awesome!

    Tour was wonderful! Guide was informative and very friendly making sure we had a great experience. Comfortable seats and amazing how the boat can maneuver. Saw several big gators and a spot with lots of babies with mom protecting. Beautiful birds as well including one that jumped on the boat to say hi :)

    Awesome tour with Dylan W! He was professional and knowledgeable! He did an amazing job navigating the Everglades and gave us a thrill ride as he did so! He knew where the alligators were nesting and even how to bring the females out to give us an unbelievable experience! He knew all about the wildlife in the Everglades! What a great experience! Thanks again Dylan!

    I have done two trips with this company and both have been outstanding. The first time was several years ago in July and recently again in May of 2022. Our second trip was during the dry season so we were limited to staying in the canal. Our guide on the second trip was Cricket and he was great. Very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and made sure we had an excellent experience. Even though it was the dry season, we saw more alligators on that 1 hour tour then we did in our original tour during a very wet season. I have used some other airboat companies in the past and this is the best one you can use. My only complaint is that the office doesn't always answer the phone and if you need to talk to them, you may have to email them first.

  • 5/5 Merve I. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing! My family and I had so much fun on our tour! It was our first time visiting the everglades and we couldn’t have been happier with our tour guide! We saw loads of wildlife, went up real close to the alligators and even saw some babies! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and it was lovely to see how the animals were treated with so much respect, without any big disruptions to their ecosystem. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the everglades!
