This was an excellent tour, made even better by Mike - an excellent guide! He handled all the transportation from Miami to the national park and back, shared tons of knowledge along the way, and ensured a great experience when we reached the fan boat ride and gator show.

An excellent day's outing to experience both the thrill of riding in an airboat and seeing first hand the diversity and beauty of the Everglades park. The package included transport to and from Miami in a minivan driven by our expert guide Michael who was excellent in pointing out all points of interest along the way. An extremely helpful and courteous man who went out of his way to ensure that we had an enjoyable experience. This he definitely acomplished as it was a day that we will talk about for a very long time. Absolutely a 10 out of 10 day for us.

Would highly recommend this tour - Way, who picked us up, could not have been more helpful and accommodating. He called to check everything was ok for pick up, provided snacks and water for the drive to the Everglades and gave us some facts on the drive too. At the end of the tour, Way also offered to drop us off directly at our hotel or at a location of our choosing which was also appreciated. He recommended a really good Cuban restaurant and helped us get a table. All round we had a great day and he could not have done anything more!

The guide was nice and definitely knows his stuff. Didn't know what to expect with the everglades but ended up really liking it. the ride out from miami was so fun. once we got there we went straight on the airboat which was way faster than i thought, the captain spun it around so everyone could see stuff which was nice. saw a few alligators in the water along the way. the gator show after was good too, learned some stuff about them, not super long. had a bit of time at the end to walk around and grab a snack. wear sunscreen and maybe sunglasses, it's bright out there. would recommend if you're in miami and want something different than just beaches.
