Our tour was fabulous! We got picked up at our Fort Lauderdale hotel and brought to Sawgrass. The tour guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. When we got to the park we got on an awesome airboat ride and were able to see 3 wild alligators and a lot of beautiful birds. The boat operator was fantastic! Then they had a show in the sanctuary area and that, too, was wonderful. They do an amazing job all the way around. We'll go back when in town again.

They give you a time slot to arrive, then there was an hour wait for our assigned boat. While we waited, we checked out the exhibits and our encounter with the baby alligator was a blast. Then we decided to grab some food and the wait was longer than they told us, but everything is made fresh to order. I tried the gator bites, which were good, but you don’t get much for $11. The Sweet Tooth Cafe was closed. They give you earplugs since the airboat is loud. Make sure to use them as best as you can. I saw so many under the floorboards. The boat ride was enjoyable and we did see an alligator.
