Had a great time. Armando did a great job as driver and tour guide. Picked up in Downtown Miami at exactly 9:50 AM and dropped off at exactly 3:00 PM. Bring cash for tips and if you get food at the park, do so after the airboat tour. Airboat ride was great with Captain Jo, saw four alligators and various other animals. The alligator show is alright, very short. Recommend the gator bites.

Great experience. Everything well organized. Super driver and speaker (Leo). We’re saw five alligators near the airboat. Amazing wild life. And great exhibition by Devin. Learn a lot about alligators during this event.
A handy pick up service from hotels. (However, this can really make the journey really long). Air conditioned bus was great. The drivers commentary and stories were really amusing and helped the journey pass by a little quicker. Once there, everything was very efficient, the boat trip was informative and was exactly how I imagined it to be. We saw 4 crocodiles and it lasted about an hour. It was a nice touch getting a free photo of us before boarding the boat. There was a few minutes to look around the shop and grab some snacks and drinks before seeing the show (15-20 minutes). This was informative and helped explain a lot of things, also you can ask any questions afterwards. You can then purchase photos of yourself holding a baby gator/snake etc if you wish. Then back on the bus. The toilets were not great, but really were the only thing that required a bit of improvement. Works out really good value for money compared with buying tickets on the day.
Well organised, good and clear communication, a fabulous day out! I booked very last minute and was able to get on the morning pick up from Miami Downtown. Leo our driver was good fun and kept us up to date with the plan for the day. The team at the Everglades Holiday Park are knowledgeable and helpful.
We had a great experience start to finish. Our bus was relatively on time and the bus driver was very clear about everything we needed to know. He was honestly great. Our air boat ride was fun! Our airboat operator was Jonoyai and he was just super, great vibes. We saw 2 gaters, lots of turtles and birds. The show at the end was also great. We would recommend this tour to families visiting the area. Our boys are going 14 and 18 and they enjoyed it quite a bit
This company gave us the wrong information and refused to refund me back the money. Viator refunded it back on their behalf. The bus never showed up at the time we were told and we know fact has already missed the bus and they took my money. Viator was looking at the available information provided by the tour company. Be careful when booking.
The airboat experience in the Everglades was everyting I expected. The guide was knowledgeable and fun. Riding the boat for the first time was fun and we got to see quite a few alligators. I chose this tour because I thought the anima show + picture with baby alligator was NOT included but turns out is something you can’t reallt skip during the booking process. I do not support any kind of animal shows even if they say the animals are well taken care of etc. You still train them to be “domesticated” and it is still a show. I would not recommend this activity because of that.
The visit to the center very organized everything, the staff has an excellent treatment with customers. Unfortunately, the bus driver must improve. He tried to do his best, at first he didn't understand at all what he said in English. And he started making jokes that weren't very funny. He was very kind in his attention, but he spoke very bad English and put the music at full volume which was not pleasant.
The ad says there is bathroom on the bus: which the do, but it is locked in chain: so u can’t use it. No one warns you but u can’t bring food and drink in the bus so many people have to pore away their drinks before boarding. Would be nice to know ahead of time. Bus came late
This was a once in a life time experience. The boat captain was very funny and knowledgeable about the ecosystem. The wildlife was so incredible to see in person. The seats on the boat weren’t the most comfortable. They did a very great job making sure everyone in our party sat together as well. The gator show was amazing! We also paid for a picture with the baby gator. That was very fun and will be a lasting memory.
We had such an amazing time on the trip! Everyone was so nice and helpful. We will be telling everyone we know about this experience. Thanks to all that made it possible.
We arrived by cruse ship and met at the "previous Holiday Inn" assuming the Hotel bell captain would store our luggage but it was closed. But the driver happily stowed our bags in the luggage racks below the bus! A lifesaver so we could enjoy the adventure.
Overall, the tour was great, but the center where they work out of had a few issues. The driver was very good. The boat captain was good, we saw quite a few alligators. But we were supposed to get some alligator bites before the boat took off and the concession stand couldn't deliver. The workers there were very rude and they closed early so no food after the boat ride either. The little zoo that was part of the excursion closed a few minutes after we got off the boat so we couldn't spend much time there. They rushed us out. In summary I'd say good bus ride and Everglades tour, but don't expect to eat. If your boat leaves in the afternoon, don't expect to spend much time at the animal park either. We were very rushed.
Great experience, the Driver Leo was really cool and the place is amazing We have seen 8 alligators !!!
Cool experience with all the alligators. Guides do their best to make it a fun experience. Take cash, and water.
Captain Carlos took us to go see so many alligators. It was a blast and he was funny and we really enjoyed the show afterwards. That was amazing. I don’t know how you guys keep them so docile that he could put his head and his hands inside the alligator’s mouth thank you very much for not killing the alligators!
One of the best tour excursion ever. Very knowledge guides and helpful. Accidenty left my rucksack on the coach and they helped me get back to me. Highly recommended and very responsive.
Lots of waiting - and long bus ride to and from. The boat was fun but only lasted 45 minutes. All in all, not really worth the total time. Would have rather spent more for a private boat tour, rather than being herded like cats.
The guide was really great but we waited more than 1 hour and a half at the Park to get to the air boat.
Warning: Be ready to wait for longer than the actual activity. But, in good company it goes by so fast! We had an amazing time. We booked for 10am and left around 10:15am if not a little later, we got back at around 2:30pm.
Saw three gators! Super awesome! Glad to hear the gator show host is a no-kill trapper. Wish they would ditch the pictures with the baby gator though. Let the animal go please.
Excellent option for doing a tour of the Everglades with the air boat ride while visiting Miami. The tour bus arrived on time, and we had an appropriate amount of time in the Everglades, including the boat tour and alligator demonstration. One bit of feedback I would provide is telling attendees what the tour bus looks like prior to pick up. The hotel in Miami from which the tour bus picked us up is a pick up spot for multiple bus tours of the Everglades, so it would be very helpful to know which bus to expect. Otherwise, I have no notes about this experience, and I would recommend it to anyone, who wants to visit the Everglades from Miami.
Nice environment, nice service, very impressive gator presentation, but no one can guarantee you will see the repriltiles.
Absolutely fantastic day, great tour guides on the bus and the air boat. Would definitely recommend to anyone
Great experience. The bus was relatively on time, maybe running about 5 minutes late, but I was also at the last pickup spot. Our bus driver/guide was great with communication about how long it would take to get to our destination and the route we would take to get there. He also shared some interesting information while we drove. We were able to board the boats within 10 minutes of arriving at Holiday Park. The boat tour was fantastic, we saw a lot of interesting wildlife. We had time to attend the alligator show and sit down to enjoy a drink and a snack before heading back into Miami. The tour ended on time with no issues.
Our pickup location was at the Miami Holiday Inn so we had to uber to & from. An additional expense. Bus was good, driver explained what we needed to do. Captain Jason found a couple alligators and provided everyone on the airboat the opportunity to view them & get pics. Tyler did the alligator show and he was great. He explained about the 15 alligators in captivity there and his ability to handle them was impressive. After show he met with people and answered questions. Tyler’s ability to handle the alligator and his calm presentation made the show.
Amazing experience, we loved every second. The person guiding us was nice and helpful. Fantastic adventure with nature, good price for the trip. Fully recommended
Company is easy to work with!!! Kept me up to date on my trip. Affordable, accurate Enjoyed excursion
Pick up available only from certain locations. Don't believe in information about small groups of 7. There is 19 people we had in group. Be ready to not see any alligators in nature.
We had a great time from the moment we made the reservation. The entire team was very professional. All the instructions were very clear. The Everglades tour was excellent. The guides were very friendly. Thank you very much.
It was our first visit to the Florida Everglades and it was memorable, the customer service was excellent, the guides and the ride were unforgettable, many thanks to the entire team.
This was a very fun experience, we got to ride for about one hour on the airboat, saw alligators up close and the bus service was very convenient. Our daughter really enjoyed.
We really enjoyed the trip, the transport service was excellent, punctual and all very attentive. We highly recommend it. Thank you.
Non credete di vedere alligatori solo perché siete alle Everglades. In natura è raro vederli, a noi è capitata la fortuna di vederne uno tra le paludi. Penoso lo spettacolo in cui gli alligatori sono sfruttati per il piacere dei turisti.
