“Showed up at 8:30am, waited till after 9 am for our bus to arrive. Bus broke down on the highway to the Everglades, bus was able to get us there. But a new bus came late after 12:45pm when we needed to be ready for pick up at 12:30, no one told us. Then, when arrived back to check in for our other tours to come back at 2:30pm after lunch for the city tour. We arrived on time, the bus came after 3pm, didn’t leave till 3:30pm. Then! Took us to Havana to spend time only to three stores to spend time there. Got to the boat tour, not…”

“I liked the little show afterwards with the alligators and snappy also enjoyed the history of the Everglades in the boat”
Miami Everglades airboat tour with hotel pickup, about 60 minutes on the water, gator show, and guided drive. Shared group, 4 to 5 hours.
“Collected at hotel and about a 45 minute journey to the Everglades Park. The one hour airboat ride was fine but, we seemed to stay in the canals leading to the Everglades Park. If you are expecting it to go flying over the reeds and grasslands as we were, you will be disappointed. We only saw one Aligator and if you were sitting on the right side of our airboat, you saw none. The short Aligator show afterwards was very good. Take lots of cash because everyone expects a tip!”
Miami Beach airboat safari with round-trip transport, Everglades entry, and exhibit time. Expect an alligator ride, plus bus delays.
“While the boat tour was excellent and the highlight of the trip, the overall experience was disappointing due to the staff’s lack of professionalism. Despite booking our tickets three days in advance and arriving 30 minutes early as instructed, we encountered issues. The staff promised us a bus, but passengers who pushed ahead in the queue were taken to the departure point first, even though they had booked their tickets at the last minute. Those of us who waited as instructed were delayed by 45–50 minutes because the company had apparently run out of minibuses. The guide then left us standing by the side of the road. We were only…”
Everglades airboat through mangrove tunnels plus a live alligator show from Miami, with optional city bus tour and Biscayne Bay millionaire cruises.
“The activities itselves were absolutely good, we loved all of them (everglades airboat, bus tour and boat tour) and definitely suggested to anyone. The only problem was that there were useless waiting times (2x1 hour) which resulted in the ending of 20.00 instead of 18.00. This is not acceptable, since everyone prepares through the description and people pay lot of money to be in Miami! If you keep this in mind and prepare for it, you will enjoy the programme.”
Everglades airboat tour from Coopertown with Jojo the 12 ft alligator, guided wildlife stops, and an animal show for $39.
“Awesome airboat ride. Our tour guide gave us a lot Of info about the Everglades and the alligators. They do give you the ear protection that is needed because the boat can be very loud at times. The boat stops at looks at the alligators you can take pictures”
A fast guided Everglades airboat ride through mangrove channels, plus an easy mangrove boardwalk stop in Everglades City for wildlife spotting.
“Highly recommend, if you consider an airboat tour do this one!”
Everglades hotel pickup with guided nature walk, airboat ride, and Miccosukee village visit for wildlife spotting and ecology learning.
“Our guide Mitchell was amazing, a good vibe and he gave us his passion for animals and photography! The tour itself is great, the walk in the Park allowed us to see gators and birds ; the airboat ride was really nice as we could approach the gators from really close! Pick up was on time, I can only recommend this tour”
Everglades airboat ride and nature walk from Miami with hotel pickup, a naturalist guide, wild alligators, picnic lunch, plus Miccosukee village.
“Small group so they pay attention to every guest. Lindsey was a great guide.”
Everglades small-group open-air airboat, Miccosukee private islands, and village visits with luxury Miami pickup. From $138.
“Was great to be picked up from our hotel in nice comfortable transport and taken to the Everglades. Our tour guide was kind and was bi-lingual (majority French on this particular day) so French/English spoken. Due to low tide we were taken to a specific airboat destination, we got close to several alligators and had a good time. The Airboat driver also gave a lot of interesting insight and was engaging. A lot of the other planned stops after the tour felt were unnecessary, as it’s 4 hours, but probably 1.5 hours could have been shaved off after the tour itself finished, instead of stopping at places that were closed…”
5-hour Miami Everglades airboat with roundtrip transport, a 1-hour ride, alligator presentation, wildlife exhibits, and a free family photo.
“The excursion is OK, but the best part was definitely Capitaine Nadim, our guide during the boat part ! He was AMAZING we learn a lot with him, he is a sunshine ! We had the chance to see 2 alligators in the water, 1 turtle, 1 higuana and also many fishes ! I think it’s pretty well for the price ! However, the show after the tour boat is to my mind a little to much, the alligators diserves better condition. Thank you Nadim for this moment !”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
