Do not expect to see really any wildlife. Yes a couple of birds but no alligators or snakes or anything you can’t see. The nature part of looking at grass and water lilies got boring after 20 minutes.

Save your money and go on the smaller airboat tours, was excited to try this place out because of all the amazing reviews and it was terrible slowest airboat more talking than anything. Truly disappointing Boat ride wasn’t even a full hour like advertised. For being the fastest air of in florida it forsure is the slowest and not thrilling at all! DONT BE FOOLED LIKE WE WERE

Our driver Joshua was AMAZING! Picked up at a local meeting spot and offered great advices and knowledge of the park and attractions The airboat tour was very informative- sadly I don’t remember the captains name. But his knowledge & humor made the tour enjoyable. I’d recommend to friends. Thank you for the experience… especially to Joshua

The airboat tour was fun, especially when it ran on high speed. The alligator show was the best. It also provided baby alligator and snakes for the brave ones to take pictures with

The Everglades Holiday Park is mostly a pathetic and crowded tourist trap. The airboat ride was a little bit fun - but not very much. Just don't expect to see any wildlife while on the boat. From the minute you arrive you begin hearing cautions about not being guaranteed to see any alligators. Of course any self-respecting wild animals would flee the area where boat after boat after boat passes by every 10 minutes, each filled with ~100 gawking tourists and a boat driver narrating each step of the trip. But these boats are not ordinary motor boats, which are plenty loud; these boats have twin 500 horsepower engines that are REALLY SUPER LOUD. Wear earplugs and enjoy the brief speedboat ride. But -- wildlife encounters -- haha, no, of course not. The everglades themselves are just lush expanses of tall grass -- interesting for about the first 5 minutes. So, in an attempt to make up for this underwhelming trip, the boat drivers fill your time with humor as much as they can. It's a living. Afterwards (or beforehand) there is an "Alligator Display and Show" that is nice enough and worth seeing while you are there. However, the show is marred by the performer lamenting that he is an unpaid volunteer and you should give him a nice tip to support him and the environmental protection group that he works for. There are no signs (or if so I missed them) to highlight what this group is nor for you to consider making a charitable contribution to support their work. Just a big tip box where the performer stands as you exit. The whole thing just feels like a cheesy tourist trap. My opinion: Find something better to do. FYI: my wife and I attended without any children. It might be more interesting for young kids who have little experience with either nature or boats. But, meh.

Captain Marquis was an excellent tour guide. no matter how many gators we got to see he kept the experience super fun and the energy hype. He finds engaging ways to keep the crowd happy and excited!! Would definitely request him the next time i come back!!

It was amazing, Rusty was an amazing guide the tour was 10/10. Only wish it was longer!! I loved the facts about the meteor!!

Had to check this place out for my son’s 3rd birthday! It was pretty cool! My son’s favorite part was the animal encounter! Victor was very knowledgeable about every animal and made sure my son got to see and pet all the animals he brought out! Very professional worker, would definitely come back for the animal encounter if victor is the one working it! “Protect him at all cost” He made sure the experience was A1! My son loved it! Thanks for being you!

Be careful when you book as even though it says Ft. Lauderdale, it's an hour just to get there. The park was well kept and new. The gator show was atrocious. My wife saw the live taccoons they feed the alligators and that was enough for us. It was cruel and unusual.

Devan and KC are the best mother and son team in the history of the Everglades. Special shout out to Jimbo and Nicki. Miranda and Oscar manage the park Wonderfully. Paul is great. Subscribe to his YouTube channel.

Excellent trip and adventure, we had funny and an unbelievable time. Kenny the sailor/pilot was the best, ask for him and you will not regret it.

Not much to see, boat went fast s fee times, saw 1 unique bird. Boat driver was informative. Tour groups get right on, if you buy tickets on line or at location you may wait 1-1.5 hours for a boat - not 20 mins. Nothing to do while waiting either.

Airport ride is good, but did not last an hour. Gator show good. But you do not get to hold baby gator unless you pay extra. Also during your activities you are encouraged to tip extra to air boat driver and alligator handlers because according to them they are not paid by the park. They work on commissions only. To me- that is horrible. A lot of the visitors are foreigners from places that do not tip. Just seems like park should pay them.

Mike was fun and the tour was great. We got to see a gator! Really enjoyed the gator show but feared for that guys life. We saw some nice birds on the boat trip.

Once we got there, there were about 10-12 busses full of people and the parking lot was full. We bought our tickets online because they suggested to do this. When we finally made it up to the cash register to show our tickets which cost us $83.00, the guy said we had to wait 3-4 hrs. to get on the boatride and for the show. I could not believe this! There was no place to sit and the sun was blazing. My suggestion is DO NOT GO THERE BECAUSE IT IS A RIP-OFF!!!!!

Simply stated, this was awful. If you like and respect wild animals and the natural environment, do yourself, your family and The Everglades a favor and do not go on this tour. It does not care one iota for nature. The "tour guide" was boring, the air-boat fan excessively noisy, and the audio speaker on the air-boat broken so the guide's "narrative" was deafeningly loud. The animal "show" was staged and contrived. A complete waste of time and money.

It was raining and probably they should’ve held off going out until weather was nicer. As they said, there wouldn’t be much wildlife if it was raining out.

Anna was our driver and made the 5 rating. She spun the boat so both sides of passengers could see everything we saw. Alligators fish and birds. She stopped at one point and called both a male and female by name to the wall of the boat. It was spectacular as we were closer than 3 feet from them while stood on the side of the boat. They have the process of getting tickets and being called to board the boat extremely well organized. We went in the afternoon when they indicated it would most likely be less crowded as they don’t take reservations.

It was nice having our tickets through Viator BEFORE we arrived. It was interesting see the Everglades for the first time ever and the Gator Show.

We did the airboat tour, gator show and the animal encounter. We saw so many alligators on our boat tour and the gator show was cheesy but cute. The animal encounter was awesome! We loved it as much as our 4 year old. Matt was so knowledgeable and geared the interaction towards our interest. Highly recommend!
