“Pick up was late and we were first pick up. We had a few mishaps with other pick ups which meant journey longer than advised. However Everglades Park was very well organised given how busy it was. The hour on the airboat was very good and we managed to spot several alligators. The show was very informative. All in all a good day out.”
