Glide by airboat through the Everglades at Everglades Safari Park, spot wildlife, then enjoy a wildlife show and jungle trail.
“I liked the little show afterwards with the alligators and snappy also enjoyed the history of the Everglades in the boat”
A 4-hour dawn or dusk Grand Teton wildlife safari by open-air or heated vehicle, with binoculars, snacks, and photo stops.
“Very informative! Ellie was a terrific tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. In answering our questions; gave us a lot good information regarding the history of the park, animal life, and the ego-system of the “Grand Teton.” Terrific tour and tour guide; would highly recommend,”
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…”
3-hour 4WD off-road sunset safari to the Grand Canyon South Rim, with a South entrance gate detour and scenic overlooks.
“It was an okay experience, nothing exceptional. We did go through the Kaibab forest, which was good to see although we never stopped driving. The rest of the tour seemed to lack substance. We got information on which lodging there is in the park, we stopped at Yavasupai geological museum (visited on our own while the guide waited), and then we looked at the sunset. It wasn’t really off road, it was mostly what we’ve seen while hiking around and some of the most popular spots while we expected something others wouldn’t get to. I think this could be a great tour on Day 1, upon arrival to get the…”
Ketchikan photo safari with a small group, guided stops at Creek Street and totems, and practical camera and iPhone tips in 3 hours.
“Well executed tour. However, after completing a long yukon alaska multi stop trip we found the sights a bit underwhelming. Ketchikan is very touristy. The guide was very informed and on time and helpful. It was not his fault we found the stops less impressive than we expected. I would not recommend such a tour for the sights if you've just completed a similar land ship cruise.”

“Please wear dark clothes light clothes hinder others photos. You won’t be able to take purses or bags.”
Drive your own car through Wild Florida Safari to spot 100+ animals, then included entry to Gator Park with gator encounters.
“It was really good...everyone on the car were enjoying the safari..I recommend this activity..thank you Viator!”
3-hour small-boat safari off West Oahu for spinner dolphins and seasonal humpbacks, snorkel with sea turtles, lunch, and pickup.
“Definitely highlight of our 8 day trip to Hawaii. The staff was more than just tour guides. They were excited to see the whales, dolphins, turtles and fish just as much as we were. They all had degrees in marine biology so it seemed like they knew everything there was to know about the marine life. As a budget traveler I was pushing outside of my comfort zone with the price but it was worth every penny I spent. This was an amazing and once in a lifetime experience.”
Drive your own car through Wild Florida’s drive-thru safari, then enjoy Gator Park, giraffe feeding, and up-close alligators in Orlando.
“It was a wonderful experience. My family really enjoyed the experience and the drive thru is the best.”

“The team of Safari Helicopters was great, very professional and the flight was really smooth. We saw the lava flow out of the fissure, which was amazing!”
Everglades Day Safari from Fort Lauderdale: airboat rides, wildlife drive, and Ten Thousand Islands mangrove cruise with lunch.
“What a wonderful trip! They do everything for you. Marc, our guide was perfect pointing out wildlife, points of interest, discussing conservation, consequences of previous ecological changes, knowledgeable about ecology, anthropology, birds and birding, plants, wildlife, etc etc. He was on time and on a schedule perfectly without feeling like we were under any pressure. My mom and I have never been on an airboat or boat on the gulf. Those guides were also great and adaptive per our interests. I love wildlife and specifically bird photography. All guides really looked out for great opportunities and positions to help me obtain some memorable experiences. Lunch was super yummy and at…”
