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!”
Enjoy a 90-minute Everglades airboat tour near Orlando with live English commentary, big wildlife views, and smooth rides from Kissimmee.

He is sarcastic, so it was hard to know when he was serious. He’s a good captain though and we enjoyed the environment and saw alligators and other wildlife, which was great. We would recommend the tour to others.”

“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…”
