Everglades alligator show
Booked experience · half a day
The animals up close, run by an operator we trust. We handle the booking and tell you honestly what to expect before you pay.
Rate on request Per person, set by the operator
See the showA day out, beyond the sand
The Everglades is on the doorstep and it is worth a day. We can book it for you, along with group trips that will not fit on a single sunbed. Same team, same phone number as the beach hut.
What we can book for you
Three things, and none of them run on a website checkout. Tell us what you are after and we will check what is actually available on the day rather than promising you a slot in advance.
Everglades tour
Booked experience · most of a day
The wider trip rather than the show alone. A river of grass the size of a small country, and a guide who knows it properly.
Rates on request Depends on the option and your group size

Group bookings
Tell us the numbers
Bigger than one boat or one sunbed. Give us the date and the headcount and we will come back with options rather than guesses.
Priced per group Ask us and we will work it out
Ask about groupsHow booking one works
Three steps, and the first one is a conversation rather than a checkout. These are run by other people, so we would rather check their schedule than promise you a time.
-
Tell us what you want
Call 954-973-7000 or ask at the beach hut. Which of the three, how many of you, and which day.
-
We check what is running
Options for your date, the cost for your group, and how long to allow. No surprises added at the end.
-
You get the details
Where to be and when, plus anything worth bringing. We hand you the specifics so there is no guessing on the morning.
Good to know
Four things worth reading before you plan a day around any of this.
We are not the operator
We are a beach rental business. The Everglades trips are run by other people, and we say so plainly rather than letting you assume otherwise. We take up any problem with them on your behalf.
Allow more time than you think
The Everglades is a drive from the beach. Plan a proper day around it rather than squeezing it between two other things.
Bring water and sun cover
It gets hot out there and shade is not guaranteed. Hats, water and sunscreen are worth carrying whatever the forecast says.
No rental paperwork
Nothing on these pages needs a boater test or a rental waiver. Jet skis and pontoons hired the same day have their own rules at licenses and waivers.
Experiences questions
Why can I not book these online?
Because someone else runs them and their schedule is not ours to publish. We check availability with them and confirm with you, which is slower than a checkout but a great deal more reliable.
What is the difference between the show and the tour?
The show is shorter and centres on the animals. The tour is the wider day out, taking in more of the Everglades itself. Both are run by operators we book through.
Do you run any of these yourselves?
No. Everything on this page is booked through us but operated by someone else. Our own trips are the pontoon charters, which leave from Santa Barbara Resort. See those here.
I have a large group. Can you help?
That is what group bookings is for. Tell us the headcount and the date and we will work through the options with you.
What are your hours?
Summer hours are 8:00am - 6:00pm and winter hours are 9:00am - 5:00pm. Calling ahead is always worthwhile, as the operator schedules vary by season.
See you On The Beach
Call and we will talk it through. Open 8:00am - 6:00pm in summer, 9:00am - 5:00pm in winter.
