We had a great time on this tour. Greg was a wonderful guide and told us the history of the area and the problems that the area is dealing with now. All of the information was very interesting. He was so nice not to cancel our tour due to my husband and I being the only two going that day and even picked us up at our hotel.
The airboat tour was a lot of fun and that was what we had really been looking forward to but surprisingly it was the swamp buggy ride that was the more awesome of the two. Jimbo the driver/guide was fantastic. He was funny, had so many stories about the history of the everglades and also the most fascinating story about Everglade City.
The Everglades Adventure Tour was well worth the money and I highly recommend this if you are in the area.

Greg and the Everglades Adventure are well worth the time and money invested. We Booked this day just hoping to see an alligator in the wild. We got so much more from alligators, education, appreciation, and understanding of the area and the wildlife of the Everglades and Southern Florida.
Greg was incredibly engaging and friendly. The ride out to the location was filled with great conversation and education. We learned how to spot alligators on the move and were spotting them consistently by the time we arrived. We learned about the history of the Everglades including the people, animals, and ecology of the Glades.
The Airboat and Buggy tours were a blast as well as educational. The passion everyone shares for the Everglades is obvious. These folks aren't just punching a clock; they're sharing what they love with everyone. We saw many forms of wildlife, but of course the highlights were the many close (safe) encounters with alligators. They are magnificent animals! We also learned about the other animals of the area including panthers and black bears...and of course the invasive Pythons devastating the Everglades.
The ride back with Greg was again just as enjoyable and educational. He shared information to help with the rest of our stay on the SunCoast. It was a full day and so much more than we expected. We would gladly go back...maybe next time with a few friends in tow. It is an incredible value! Recommend bringing a small cooler with some water and perhaps a sandwich.

We’ve had a fantastic day out in the Everglades spotting a whole variety of wildlife. Greg our tour guide was so knowledgable and passionate about “gators” that I can’t recommend him highly enough. My two children (5 and 8) had a blast, I don’t think there was a question that Greg couldn’t answer!!! We saw an enormous amount of gators and going on the airboat was a tick off the bucket list. Thanks Greg, you’ve made it a very interesting and special day

Greg was an excellent guide. He made sure that all details were taken care of to allow us to enjoy a full day experiencing and learning about the everglades. He was very attentive and anticipated our needs. He also shared with us his vast knowledge on the plant and animal life of the area and the rich history of the everglades. He has an empathetic perspective of the animals that inhabit the area and I appreciated learning about the Seminole Native Americans as well. I would recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in learning while experiencing the fun of the everglades.

Perfect tour with lots of variety. Length is spot on. Greg is very fun and informative and the drive does not seam long at all. The included on full day lunch stop is at a cool restaurant on the water in Everglades City.

All of it! The Air boat, the Swamp Buggy, the alligator show, lunch, the tour of Everglade City, and especially our guides, especially Greg Bryson our Tour Host who arranged everything, going beyond to make sure that our experience would be forever remembered.
Greg was very informative, which was evident that he know his stuff regarding the history of the Everglades, the habitat of the reptiles, and the environmental surroundings.
Greg was very professional, yet very personal answering any questions we had. He was genuine, kind, and authentic person and there was no doubt that he loves his job. You would never have known that he was the owner of Everglades Adventure. Highly recommend this tour and well worth the cost!

We had a great day with Greg and learned so much about the Everglades. Our family took a half day and it was the perfect length of time for our kids (6 & 8). Greg picked us up from our beach rental and it was a comfortable ride for all 6 of our group. We would highly recommend Evergaldes Adventure for anyone that wants to learn about what makes the area so unique from someone with extensive insights.

My husband and I really enjoyed our Everglades adventure with Greg. He was very knowledgeable and a gracious host with much attention to detail. He made sure everyone was comfortable and able to see everything which made the trip very enjoyable. The boat captains at Wootens were also very nice and accommodating. Lunch was very good. Overall great day! Definitely recommend.

I could not come here quick enough to write this review for such an amazing experience! Greg was so friendly, very knowledgeable, and just the best tour guide EVER! He picked us up locally to our campground (group of three of us). Then he drove us to the everglades for the airboat ride first. The way down he taught us a lot about the area and animals and pointed out plenty of gators off the road! He got us all set up at the airboat ride which was SO FUN! Then we had a little bit of time to kill before the alligator show and buggy ride so he drove us to Everglade city to show us around the small town, again with plenty of info! We drove back to see the alligator 🐊 show and walk through the animal sanctuary. Then crossed the street for the buggy ride which we saw a mama and baby bear and 5 manatees! Then on the way home we just chatted, listened to music and he dropped us off at our campsite! Other notable points were that we brought a cooler with drinks and sandwiches which we ate at a picnic table before the buggy ride. The van was a great temperature with the air and very clean! And the car ride was never awkward! He kept all the info flowing and we all had great conversation. Overall amazing experience and I highly recommend! Thanks Greg for a great day!

Unfortunately we were unable to take this tour due to inclement weather. Greg stayed from the get go that if there was any reason we couldn’t make the trip, his policy was 100% refund. Due to our schedule and having to fly out the next day, we were unable to rebook with Greg but will absolutely plan this trip again March 2022 when we return. Greg’s communication and and flexibility during our booking process was exceptional!

It really depends on that particular day's weather... nothing "extra" is needed as it is a ride on an elevated machine thru the forested area and then a great airboat ride thru the swamp waters. If it's cool, a windbreaker would be the maximum!! JMO

We're looking at the Small Group Tour Everglades Adventure Day Trip from Greater Ft Myers that starts at $158.99 per person and are wondering what the name of the actual Tour Company that runs this tour is? Can anyone advise? Thanks

Everglades Adventure is the name of the company. It’s a smaller company that’s very customer focused. We had a great experience, felt very safe, and have young kids. The owner is very safety focused; which is a huge plus when interacting with alligators.

We went on this on 12/7 and they were not picking up at the hotel due to road construction. We stayed at the Best Western and took the 7 am trolley 3 miles to the marina. If you miss this one, get a cab because the next trolley is 40 minutes later. They will drop you off at your hotel when done though, which will be around 5-5:30 pm.
