We paid for what we thought was a "small group" excursion with no more that 7 people. The picture of the boat even shows a small boat. when they say "no more than 7" they actually mean no more than 7 people in the shuttle/car. You are then put on a big boat that actually only costs around $50/person (if you were to buy the ticket there). Best to skip this provider and just either drive/ride share to the location. The owner offered us a 20% discount after we majorly complained. whopee. We have yet to get that refund. This company needs to take a class on truth in advertising. Very deceptive
We understand your concerns about the small group expectation and the boat experience, and we apologize for any confusion around how the tour is structured. Please reach out to us so we can resolve your concern.
It was a very fun experience and despite the heat, all was enjoyable. The only reason I have given it 4 stars is that on the boat journey there was a high chance you could get a bad seat as if you were in the middle of the boat, the alligators were too far away to see, or if you did see them, it wouldn’t be close up; whereas being on the edge meant you could see the gators up close and could take quality photos of them.
What a fun experience—thanks for sharing! 🐊 we really appreciate your feedback on the seating during the boat ride—it’s a helpful insight for future guests!
Really good trip which exceeded expectations and the guide was fantastic
What a great trip to hear about—thanks for sharing! 🌟
A ride worth the ride! Got picked up early at hotel in Miami. Not traffic heading out west to the Everglades. Our tour guide Rolando was awesome, and turned what should have just been a transfer into a real informative tour of the city. Only disappointment was that the boat at the tour site was large (description by aviator said “no more than 7”…per row on the air boat I guess).. saw plenty of gators, and the gator show after was neat. On the way back to South Beach Jonaldo suggested we try Little Havana because it wasn’t much of a beach day. Was one of the highlights of our trip. Spent a little more, but got door to door service and extras that made it worth it!
Love that Rolando made the journey informative and that Little Havana became a highlight. Appreciate the note on the airboat as well, thanks for sharing your experience! 🐊
We were assigned the same guide on our drive to and from the Everglades Park. It was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the area and give us some great tourist tips. Rolando was an excellent guy would be happy to work with him again. Be prepared for any kind of weather! Overall worthwhile excursion highly recommended
Glad Rolandos knowledge and tips made the trip even better— Sounds like a fantastic Everglades experience. Thanks for the recommendation!
Antonio was super friendly and great guide and he was great with the kids bringing it to life for them
Antonio really made it fun for the whole family! 👨👩👧👦 Thanks for sharing your experience!
Very nice and competent guide. Hotel pickup worked out well. Unfortunately, the boats are quite large. But overall beautiful experience
Vielen Dank, dass Sie Ihre Erfahrung mit uns geteilt haben. Wir freuen uns zu hören, dass die Abholung vom Hotel reibungslos verlaufen ist und dass Sie Ihren Guide während der Tour als sehr nett und kompetent empfunden haben. 😊
We really enjoyed this tour of the everglades that we extended by adding a city tour of Miami after. Our tour guide, Walker, was absolutely outstanding — He had an infectious love for history and the city. Very Knowledgeable, engaging and accommodating. Best tour guide I have had in years! Highly recommend this tour!
What an incredible day combining the Everglades and Miami! 🌴🐊 Thank you for the high recommendation, and we hope to see you back in Miami again soon! 😊
It was wonderful to be picked up at my hotel. The everglades was a great way to spend a couple of hours. My pick up was right on time. The tour guide dropped me off in town so I could spend a few more hours out visiting the city. That was greatly appreciated!!
It’s great to hear how smooth and flexible the day felt for you. We’re glad it worked out so well 🌿
Antonio was amazing! He spent so much time sharing all sorts of information about the Everglades, it’s history, it’s ecosystem, and many interesting details about the early inhabitants of the land, and more! We were fascinated by his knowledge and so thrilled with all he had to teach us. He even stood in line for us while we used the restrooms, was there when we returned from the exciting airboat ride, and took us on a private nature walk where he had spotted mama alligator and her babies that many other visitors passed by without noticing. It was such a wonderful experience! Would highly recommend it!
What an unforgettable day in the Everglades. That extra care and attention truly set the tour apart. Thanks so much for the recommendation 🐊
