Nighttime tour with Captain Disco! - We did the nighttime tour with Captain Disco. This was our 2nd nighttime tour and 4th tour overall. It was by far the best tour we have been on!! Captain was engaging and informative while finding a lot of gators for all of us to see! Best airboat tours around!

Night airboat alligator tour - It was amazing to see the gators at night. The weather was rainy, but we still had a fun boat ride and saw several alligators. The kids and I loved it!

Great nights exploring the Everglades. - Great evening of family fun. We are local and was looking for something fun to do. We have done airboat rides before further south and during the day. An evening option closer to home was a great change of pace. Neat to see the stars and hear the frogs while learning about the Everglades, South Florida District Water Management, and looking for alligators. Highly recommend.

The Everglades up close. - The skipper was great and slowed whenever he saw some wildlife. The ecology of the Everglades is amazing. We saw one alligator and an Osprey. The forty minutes weren’t long enough. Next time we go we want take a longer ride.

Everglades night tour - I’ve done many day trips to the Everglades but this was my first night tour. It was very cool to see how much more active the alligators are at night. This is a must see for anyone that likes wildlife and nature.

Entertaining experience at Sawgrass - Great experience at Sawgrass with my family. Our guide, Mike, was very knowledgeable and funny as well. We so two gators out in the glades. The animal exhibit was a nice bonus as my boys enjoyed holding a baby gator. Would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for something to do in the Fort Lauderdale area.
