Our guide Walker picked us up directly from our hotel, and he was an excellent guide from start to finish. He is very knowledgeable about the Everglades and shared a lot of interesting information with us during the drive and throughout the tour. The entire experience was smooth, informative, and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

It was so great, we saw one alligator in the wild and what made the experience great is the people working there. We learned a lot, you can see they truly love the animals and the Everglades. However I'm not a fan of keeping those 4 alligators in captivity !

We chose Cooperstown for our airboat tour based on the reviews, and we were not let down! There was an informative show before the boat tour that shared lots of cool facts about the Everglades, alligators, snakes, and more. They have several large alligators in captivity. There was even a wild alligator that lives nearby that came up by the bleacher area! Jack did our presentation and answered all our questions! He taught us about invasive species and the conservation efforts that are helping save the Everglades. The airboat tour itself was a ton of fun too! We saw about 10 alligators, tons of birds, and some turtles! The guide was funny and super knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna we encountered. I highly recommend Cooperstown if you’re planning to check out the Everglades!
