Bring the sunblock and bug spray, the guide had some with her but we should have reapplied more often (prone to sunburn). Bring water bottles and a camera. Lots of fun
Amazing experience. They picked me up from my hotel, spoke with me on the way to the transfer spot. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered all questions asked, as well as very personable. The mosquitos were bad, but they were equipped to handle it.
Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoyed the tour and found your guide knowledgeable and personable. Yes, sometimes the mosquitos in the summer to appear a bit more. We appreciate you mentioning how our guides handled the situation, thank you so much for coming!
The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable and the pick-up was very easy and convenient however the experience fell short of what I was expecting. We basically rode an airboat down two long canals and that was the extent of our everglades tour. We did go in late July so the wildlife was naturally less active due to the heat so only saw 2 alligators. I believe winter or early spring may be better for this tour.
Outstanding! Ben, Shannon, and Willy (Airboat Captain) did a phenomenal job!
We're so happy you had a great time and enjoyed your guides! Thank you for coming!
Picked up on time, very clean and roomy van with cold AC, the guides were very knowledgeable on the history of the area as well as the ecosystem. Ben was engaging and interactive with us - he’s a very easy going guy. We had a blast. We found alligators, and other wildlife in their natural environment. You will have a great time.
Thank you so much for coming! Thank you for mentioning the details of the tour as well, I appreciate the feedback and I'm delighted that you had a blast on our tour. Come back anytime!
What a great day! The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. The value was perfect for me. And my son and I had a great time
I'm happy to hear that both you and your son enjoyed the tour, and your guide! Thank you for coming with us!
Elijah was a great driver and back up tour guide. Nice transportation and good tour to get a longer airboat ride then normal and walk through the national park.
Thank you for writing a review and for mentioning your guide. We're glad you enjoyed the airboat as well!
My Husband and I spent time looking at reviews prior to booking and it paid off. Our 50th special holiday to Miami, Everglades was a must do for us. Communication from the team was excellent, made us reassured and looking forward to the day. Pick up/drop off as planned from our hotel by our guide and we hit it off from the start. Honestly he was amazing, funny, knowledgeable and a genuine guy. Water (take own bottle) snacks, sun cream and bite spray, ear protectors all provided. Highlight for me was seeing an otter and baby alligator. So many memories made, it’s a grounding moment away from vibrant Miami Beach. Learning about the culture and history, workout Miami would not exist! Book and take it all in, genuinely best experience.
Wow thank you so much for your amazing review! It sounds like you got to see so much wildlife, we're delighted to hear you had such a great time on our tour! Come again anytime, it was truly a pleasure :).
