Not worth the money. Feel as if you are treated like a number. Way too busy! I understand you can’t see gators every time out but I think the tour guide could’ve tried harder to find some for us. Also be prepared for them mentioning they make their $ from tips at each attraction. I would recommend trying out a smaller, private air boat tour instead of this place.

Captain Dillon was awesome. Good sense of humor. Very educational and will get you up close to the wildlife for some great pics. Food was great. Never had Gator before but, Damn it's good. Then a great Gator show to top it all off. Me and my wife loved every moment of it.

The boat ride was fine. It was interesting and the guide Tina was friendly and informative. Unfortunately they also have to beg for Tipps what's kinda weird. However after that it got horrible. The animals in the zoo are kept in horrible conditions and are mistreated at the show. I don't like zoos in general but this was another level of cruelty. So you not spending money on your staff, neither on the conditions for the animals. Wouldn't suggest anyone going there. If you support it - you are part of the problem.

Our family LOVED the gator ride! The lady guide/boat driver was so great! The whole experience at this park was worth every cent.

stunning Everglades, filled with exciting speed and beautiful scenery. Captain Malachi made the experience unforgettable with his deep knowledge of the area and its wildlife, along with a fantastic sense of humor that kept us all entertained. The Gator Boys Alligator Rescue show was a standout, showcasing the incredible skills of the handlers and their respectful interaction with the alligators. It was educational and entertaining, providing a great insight into the ecosystem of the Everglades and the lives of its inhabitants. Overall, the tour was a perfect combination of adventure, learning, and unique Florida experiences. Captain Malachi's expertise and the exhilarating airboat ride, paired with the captivating Gator Boys show, made it an unforgettable day. I highly recommend Everglades Holiday Park Airboat Tours to anyone looking for a fun and informative outdoor activity. Don't miss out on this fantastic experience, and be sure to ask for Captain Malachi as your guide!

Had a great time on the airboat ride, our Captain Jody Ray was fabulous and I thought went above and beyond with his knowledge and history of the area, trees, and wildlife. Made it a really enjoyable time for everyone. The gator show was very good also, very entertaining and educational at the same time. Great for all ages. The park is a great place to bring the entire family for a fun day.

Great park to stop by if you're in Miami! It was very fun and educational. We got to see a handful of bird species but most importantly Alligators in their natural habitat. The ride does come with a show after and a photo with a baby gator. If you are hesitant on going be assure you will not be a disappointed.

This place is so busy! Get tickets well in advance. Totally worth it tho. The airboat was such fun. They go fast, but are super loud too. You do not get wet and are mostly protected from the sun. We saw several different bird species, an iguana and 2 large alligators. The captain is entertaining and very knowledgeable about everything. He also turned the boat to ensure everyone saw what he pointed out.

The location was easy to find, and had plenty of parking. We went as part of a school group. Our tour guide was excellent he was very informative, and hands on. We really appreciated the cover over the boats seating area. But it did make it difficult to see if you were sitting in the middle. The animal show was okay, we have seen better at some of the other airboat operations. (This is the 3rd different one we have done) There is a small area, that has a few animals that you can view. At the very end you have the option to take a picture with a smaller alligator.

A great place to visit and learn about the everglades. Fairly inexpensive, but you do have to tip your boat capitan, also the gator boys show is free, but they run on tips as well. Captain Mike was our captain, he was great. When we went it was the first day they reopened the speed lanes. So it was a treat to be able to go fast after them being closed all winter.

Absolute must-do in Miami! We had captain Jerry who was funny, knowledgeable, and full of great stories. We saw lots of wild alligators and got close to some wild birds too. Got some amazing photos, the whole experience was unforgettable. The park itself is well kitted out with reasonably priced snacks, food and drinks and was clearly recently landscaped. Will surely go back one day!!

Went yesterday 12/19/23 on the speedboat ride and the weather unfortunately was too cold to see any alligators but the speedboat ride was super fast and beautiful because it was full of lilly pads and cattails. All in all worth the money to enjoy a nice ride filled with fun facts and knowledge and funny jokes of Captain Baby Face, he was a great captain! We also went to the animal encounter and got to hold a baby gator and pay $10 for the picture (which was beautiful). The volunteered gator connoisseur named Kevin was phenomenal. Full of passion for what he does and gave us fun facts about the alligators.

It was a blast to go through this park. On a powerful flat bottom air boat! To see the beautiful plants and trees, n the birds 🐦 and alligators. And the alligators show after the boat ride. With a great captain telling us all about the everglades. If you are in Florida, check it out. We'll worth it.

Ticket prices were 70 for two. And the captain was a baby face. He was good at his good. Kept us entertained. Even though we did not see any alligator our captain made engaged and the ride was great. The snacks were a little expensive so make sure u get them from Walmart/a nearby supermarket if you want to save a few bucks. Make sure to take a photo with the little alligator it's worth the visit.

It was fantastic!!! We had so much fun!! We had ran into three alligator. And after we were done talking a boat ride through the Everglades we went to a show to see the alligator man. He was very entertaining. He just picked one up like his own baby that was amazing!! We loved everything about this place. 🐊 ❤️😁👍🙏

What an amazing experience. It was raining which made the experience better!!! Saw 3 gators, beautiful scenery, and our guide was fantastic!!! The birds are really cool, they will eat out of your hand and take your food if you don’t watch them, must try the gator bites, and the show was really cool to watch. They also have a nice gift shop!

We went here in our 3rd day in Fort Lauderdale and it was pretty fun. We got to go on the Everglades boat tour which was pretty cool because there were times when the boat went pretty fast and at times even sounded a bit like a v8 engine. I also enjoyed seeing the Everglades areas during the boat tour and even saw a few alligators and some birds which was pretty cool and I did enjoying seeing some of the areas in general. We also did get to do the animal experience and saw 5 animals including the scorpion, small turtle and a few others. The host for the event was pretty nice and took the time to explain a few facts about the animals and even let us hold them for a little bit which was awesome. I do recommend this place to anyone looking for some cool activities to do in FL.

We had a private excursion through our hotel & the experience was amazing. You get to see a gator show, have your pic taken twice and hold a baby gator. Try the gator bites. They are really good! Chewy but taste mild and delicious. If you're staying & Newport Beachside & Resort, definitely book the excursion through the hotel because you get the VIP experience which was REALLY nice. The price even included both photo ops & they provided bottle water and a shuttle service from the resort.

We had a great time on the Everglades today. Our captain was great and informed about the Everglades I believe his name was dillen. Their was quite a bit of wildlife we saw including gators, wild birds, and iguanas. This is for adults & kids to experience. All the staff we encountered was professional. The gator show was good too. We for sure thought the instructor was going to get bit but he was a pro.🐊🐊🐊💯💯💯

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the ethereal beauty and wilderness of the park. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the enchanting sunset. The sky was painted with hues of vibrant oranges and pinks that cascaded beautifully over the scenic park. It was a sight so vivid that it will forever be etched in our memories. Walking the trail allowed us to experience the park's unique ecosystem up close. The flora and fauna were abundant, and the wildlife was truly awe-inspiring.

Every aspect of Everglades Holiday Park was well-maintained and reflected the park's commitment to preserving its natural surroundings.

In short, Everglades Holiday Park offers an unbeatable blend of scenic beauty, wildlife, and tranquility. Our family was mesmerized by the stunning sunset and rich natural biodiversity, making this visit an unforgettable experience. A five-star recommendation for nature lovers and families looking for an extraordinary day out!

Definitely worth going. Its not an alligator tour so no guarantees you will see an alligator. We were lucky and so one. The rest of the tour is about the wildlife and the Ecosystem. If you are not into nature then this isn't for you. At the end of the tour int eh very powerful airboat you get an alligator show and can take a picture with an alligator baby. It presented by the Gator Boys a famous alligator rescue crew.

Got the VIP tour, and it was the BEST. Had Eric as our driver (incredible guy; got us ponchos and water, too), and our boat captain was exquisite. Saw so many gators, and so many fun birds. Foliage was gorgeous. Gator show was excellent as well; George was a lot of fun. Favorite park I’ve been to. Affordable, fun, the works. I would recommend this place to anyone.

What a great team! The air boat ride was led by an amazing captain that kept the jokes coming as he navigated the waters. We got to see the greenery, a couple gators, and birds. The gator show was entertaining and informative. They were super family friendly and the kids left raving about their experience. Small cafe on site. Facility was clean. Prices are reasonable. Staff is superb!

Captain “Baby Face” is the only Captain I would trust to get me back safely. He guaranteed our safe return! To my knowledge, we were the only boat to safely make it back to the dock. We were blessed to see multiple fish, birds and alligators! We saw more gators than he had seen in any other tour. We were greatly blessed! Thank you Captain Eric! You deserve a healthy raise!!

My experience at Everglades Holiday Park Airboat Tours and Rides was good, earning it a solid four stars. The airboat ride into the Everglades was enjoyable, though I was a bit disappointed by the limited wildlife sightings; it felt more like a quick trip into the area. On the positive side, the boats were in great condition, and the staff was excellent, which added to the overall experience. If you're looking for a pleasant airboat ride and don't mind the potential for limited wildlife encounters, this could be a good choice.

My family had 12 hours before our flight after disembarking from our cruise ship out of Port Everglades. A nightmare scenario with our 8 kids and all that luggage. We found this option at Everglades Holiday Park and loved every minute of it! We chose the VIP tour package. Part of the package was our driver, Demetrius, picking us up promptly at the port, loading a ridiculous amount of luggage and storing it, and taking us straight to the park. Demetrius took care of us every step of the way. He got us water bottles upon arrival and earplugs for our baby in case she needed them. Led us to each spot we needed to be at throughout the day to limit our time in lines, making sure we didn’t miss a thing. Our airboat guide was informative and entertaining and was very considerate of our 7-month old. The Gator Boys presentation was also great and the kids loved the frog legs and gator bites for a snack. Demetrius dropped us off at the Miami airport and everyone had a blast! Overall, I couldn’t have imagined any other activity that would have been this entertaining and provided such conveniences!

Captain Chaos was our tour guide on the air boat and it was such a great experience. He was so funny and had so much experience on the water/ area. In the gift shop Chris helped us out and he was so personable and professional. Got to see some awesome gators, snakes and wildlife. The gator show also was amazing! Highly recommend.

Educational for some, I found it somewhat educational for a short airboat ride with 24 people on one boat. Seen one small gator in the whole 1.5-mile loop. The captain was entertaining. We also booked with a bus service in Miami, and that's another story about the crazy bus driver all over the road(1.5 stars)!! Also, there is a lot of begging for tips...

Cool experience we went on the fan boats with Captain Anna. She had the fastest boat which was pink for breast cancer. We were able to see alligators out in the wild swimming. She described the various plant life and the reasons the Everglades looks the way they did. After that we were able to catch the alligator show which was very entertaining and informative. You could even hold a baby alligator and look at all the other animals as well.

Site is under construction but they still manage to keep the good service and smiles. Airboat tour: Just a 20 minute wait since it's first come-first serve. tour is super fresh and fun. You might be a little splash here and there. But worth it. Our Captain Chad was very enthusiastic. Prepare your tips!

So much fun!!! The tour guide was energetic. We booked the vip tour and got a ride there and back. The driver Demetrius was AMAZING, he was so friendly, very knowledgeable and even made sure that we made it to the gator show. Overall we had a great time!

Captain Rocky was our airboat tour guide and he was amazing. Entertaining, full of information and you can tell he truly enjoys the work he does. Although it was a chilly day, we saw numerous wildlife including birds, vultures, iguanas and four different alligator's! After the tour we were ushered into the alligator show, and although it was shorter than I expected, it was still great to see one of the "Alligator Boys" work with the beasts. Overall it was a great, enjoyable time that was well worth the money spent. If you're looking for a laid-back, fun activity for a few hours, you can't go wrong with the Everglades Holiday Park.

Lovely place and location with good tours. The after tour show with the gator boys was pleasant and fun albeit almost insanely passionate. Would recommend as a short trip if you are in the area or in Miami.

We had a great experience at Everglades Holiday Park. Very kid friendly. We made the air boat tour, saw a couple of gators, a turtle and lots of birds. I loved that the air boat was covered so we were not under the sun for an hour +. The Alligator show was very entertaining. We learned a lot of new facts!!! And my kids were excited to be of new able to touch a baby alligator.

Such a fun experience! I live in the area and have never taken the Everglades tour. I had some family visiting from out of state and they said they would like to go see it. Nash and Gary were excellent guides both very knowledgeable of the local habitat, plants and animals! Kev also did a great job with the live show!

This park is an absolute blast. The staff are kind, fun and entertaining. The alligator show was very informative and fun, and the guy that put on the show was excellent. The airboat ride was a blast and the captain of our airboat knew the answers to every question our group could throw at her. Also, the young lady that put on the show with the snake, scorpion, bearded dragon and all was exceptional. If you are interested in learning about what goes on in the everglades in regards to the animals living there, I highly recommend stopping by Everglades Holiday park and catching their shows, you will definitely have a good time.

An absolute must-visit! Everglades Holiday Park offers an exhilarating airboat ride through stunning landscapes, providing a unique glimpse into Florida's natural beauty. The knowledgeable guides and up-close wildlife encounters make this an unforgettable adventure for the whole family.

I booked the animal encounter. The weather so unpredictable it was raining, cloudy, windy and cold. I was so happy that the staff was so accommodating and friendly. Anna was amazing, so warm , knowledgeable, patience and kind. She bring 4 animals to pet and to take a picture. Is not possible to take video or to use your cellphone since the staff is taking photos. We really appreciate Anna for taking her time and making my kids and I have an amazing life experience and the pics.

We did this as part of a cruise tour which was not the best way to do it as the boat ride was only 30 minutes. This is not enough time to go deeper in the Everglades, so we didn’t see any alligators. Overall the ride was great but the organization around pour boarding is a bit off a hit or miss and could be easily improved. If you go direct, try a longer ride off 45 minutes or 1 hour.

Had a great time we saw several alligators and 1 10 footer. Got close and operator made several passes so everyone could get pictures and see it.very informative on everglades. Seen different types of birds. The speed parts were cool and loud. Thanks .

We arrived at 4pm and had a beer and snack on the patio while waiting for the 4:30pm show. The show was great, John made it very enjoyable, interesting and fun. We had the opportunity to learn more about alligators and other species. After the show we went for a ride on the airboat. We had the opportunity to see some alligators during the ride, we stopped, took pictures, videos and learned a little more about the wildlife of the Everglades. It was all super interactive and the experience is highly recommended.

Great place to visit with family. My son was super excited. They have airboat ride, alligator sightings(totally depends on alligator's mood to show up) . We were able to see a few. There is a tour guide come boat driver for the ride. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, he showed and explained a lot about plants, birds and alligators around florida., esp the one in the park. The ticket includes a boat ride, alligator show, family picture with baby alligator, and a few other animals to see there. It was totally worth the money , we had a great experience.

We had a great experience we were able to see about 10 gators and several other animals. Our tour guide loves the everglades and he knows alot of info about it also. I think his name was Jeremy. After the 1 hour boat tour we got to see a gator show and it was good and put on by Paul from the tv show Gator Boys. Lastly I was able to take a pic with a baby alligator and that was cool.

This was seriously such an awesome experience! We saw a ton of gators, and even a little baby gator (which is apparently very rare)! Our tour guide was awesome as well. Love this place and would definitely recommend!

Great experience! Well worth the price of admission. Fun boat ride. Saw lots of gators and other Florida wildlife. JR was a very entertaining boat captain with informative and clever commentary. The alligator show was educational, but a little short. It was a hot day so I was totally okay with that. Plus they’re alligators, what more can they do? The animals were all very well taken care of in clean and shaded living arrangements. I highly recommend this little park!

Lots of fun... saw 4 gators and some beautiful birds. The gator show and free picture with a baby gator was a nice touch as well. Friendly staff and nice gift shop. Great choice for the whole family!

Great time on the airboat ride! The "captain" was very informative and entertaining! The price was very good compared to others in the area and the gator show afterward was very entertaining. The only downside was the rest of the staff! The associates in the store, and the restaurant seemed to be having a "rough" day and really were a little rude in a couple instances! All in all, though a great time and man the gators were EVERYWHERE!

Great place for family fun! We enjoyed the airboat ride a lot. DJ was our captain who was able to find us some gators to see up close. Very insightful trip learning about its history. The gator show was also very fun to watch. "Bob" was very good and entertaining. Even got a family photo with a baby gator. Good times for sure and very with the visit.
