Back in April, I took the family (18yr old son, 14yr old daughter, 9yr old son) along with my wife and parents, to Alligator Cove. Since we had a party of six and there are only six seats, Capt. Darold removed the two front seats and replaced it with a bench seat (3 kids in front) so that we could... more

We went on this tour on 3/15/09. We have recommended it to everyone we know that might find themselves in the area... I have family in nearby Winterhaven and they frequently have visitors looking for something different to do... we left behind a brochure and pictures to lead them to Alligator Cove!!! Capt. Darald was wonderful in his narratives, explaining... more

Captain Darald and... more

I chose Alligator Cove as they promised a more personal experience...boy did they deliver! First of all the drive out to the launch area was beautiful, orange groves and county scenery,,,about... more

This was quite simply the highlight of our visit to Florida. Don't even think about a 30 or 60 minute trip elsewhere - 90 minutes is the minimum needed to absorb the beauty and splendour of the area. We were fortunate in having Captain Darald as our host; he is mine of information and a very accomplished guide. His commentary... more
