J-Hawk Posted November 16, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2008 We will be in Fort Lauderdale/Miami area all day on a Friday in January. My husband and I wanted to take the kids (7 & 9) on an airboat ride and to see some gators in the Everglades. It looks like there are a lot of choices, so I am very confused. Does anyone have a recommendation? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red sox girl Posted November 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 16, 2008 We will be going on an airboat tour this Friday. We are a family of 5 with 3 boys 18,16,and 14 a bit older than yours but I can post a review of it when we get back on the 30th of Nov. I am using gator park I dont know if you looked at the site yet but they all seem the same to me. They have a number you can call I did and asked a lot of questions and they seemed the most helpful that is why we chose them. other places I called made me feel like I was bothering them. Also on gator parks website they have coupons and if you buy your tickets online you save 5.00pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Park is the first one I found and is where we intended to go. Our flight lands at West Palm Beach, so I was wondering if we really needed to go all of the way to Gator Park. I am afraid that if we don't, we will be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billrco90278 Posted November 19, 2008 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2008 We went on the Everglades Airboat tour offered by Princess at the end of our last cruise. It was very beautiful, enjoyable, and interesting. It was also a nice "soft landing" to the end of our vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills blasters Posted November 19, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2008 We did the tour with Carnival after our cruise last Jan. We loved it. We went to Holiday park, or something with the word holiday in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a recommendation?Thanks! We went last month, we booked it through Carnival. It was Everglades Holiday Park www. evergladesholidaypark.com #1.800.226.2244 My son is 3 1/2, he enjoyed it. I couldn't believe how close the alligators come to the boat. There was a girl about 10, she seemed to be scared. We had a great time and are glad we went. The guide was great, it was a nice ending to our cruise.
