Everglades Day Safari From Miami

Amazing tour if you are interested in Floridian wildlife and want to fully experience the Everglades, Big Cypress as well as the Ten Thousand Islands in one day (without having to drive yourself). We were a small group and our knowledgable and very accommodating guide Julio provided a lot of information about this unique ecosystem. Thank you Ecosafari for this day that I will remember for the rest of my life!

It was great. Out guide Marc was very knowledgeable and kind.

Guide was a wealth of information and had a keen eye to spot wildlife. The tour provided all the necessary equipment (mosquito nets, bug spray, etc.). Great trip, kids had fun and learned a lot.

We had a fantastic full day experience with this company which is recommended for their ecological approach. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative and led the nature walk, which was short but really interesting. We also had an airboat ride, a boat ride where we saw several pods of dolphin and many beautiful birds, and a delicious lunch. Toilet stops were frequent, as was the chance to top up water bottles. A brilliant experience.

This was a great experience! Our guide (Reza) was insightful about the history of the area, the biology and able to make this entire day entertaining. Two boat rides! Alligators! Dolphins!! And all of the birds you never knew you needed to see!

Exceeded our expectations. Mark did a phenomenal job sharing insights/history/bird and wildlife knowledge with great enthusiasm. The air boat, walk, lunch and boat tour were excellent. Well worth the money spent for a day in the Everglades!

It was a very busy day but it is an awesome experience. You get to do so much and Mark, our guide was excellent.

Our family had a wonderful time on this full day (8:30 am to 5:30 pm) tour of the Everglades. It included shuttle service from a Miami hotel, airboat ride in the Everglades, a short nature hike, lunch, and a boat tour of a few of the ten thousand islands. We saw an array of birds, alligators, manatees, and dolphins. Our tour guide, Reza, knew all the birds and pointed them out to us along the way. The kids had fun checking them off on a checklist they were given. Reza was so knowledgeable kind and a very good driver (we were in a 13 passenger van). We highly recommend this tour.

This tour was amazing and we especially appreciated the hotel pick up and drop off, made it so much easier. They were right on time. Had a text the day before to confirm which was nice and given 10 minute timeframe for pick up. Addy was our guide and she was amazing. We did the half-day tour and then hour long boat ride. Perfect amount of time.

It was full day. Contact with elements, nature and amazing quide, who put all his heart. It was easy in the atmosphere to make new contacts

Proper, thorough eco-tour, with everything from ospreys to gators to dolphins. Lunch was good and Marc was a great guide!

Do not let the lack of reviews out you off. It’s part of a larger firm and not sure why this one has branched out. But Marc was amazing. Non stop talker…. In a good way. Really cares for nature and wildlife. This is a real nature tour - as in no tacky theme park it’s the wild. Airboats. Amazing. Larger ones but that didn’t distract from amazing experience. Here nice cool air. No bugs. We saw several alligators. Turtles. All sorts of birds. Amazing. Great time on the boat and felt right. Back in the air con van Marc explains everything and grass lands goto forests as you go west. One part was full of mosquitos but only one walk area. Here Marc had bee keeper hats but full ponchos and nuclear grade bug spray to protect us! More tours more gators and wildlife - the entire freeway is nature. Birds everywhere. They gave us a cool bird tick off list highlighting what’s rare. Amazing. Oh note the van holds around 16 people. We were a family of four and we had two other couples. Nice small lovely feel Over on the west coast the food was great at a lovely cafe where all the locals and community is strong (Everglades city). The second boat ride was amazing seeing dolphins in the wild, birds but also cheeky raccoons on raccoon island. Tristan the captain was amazing with a super chilled laid back voice. That boat holds max 8 people and they split the group 4 and 4 so we had a super personalised experience. Again great time on the boat that didn’t feel rushed. Was about perfect. Over at small wood. Lovely bit of history with again all the generations of the family still running the place. Prices were not eye gouging and sensible so we purchased various bits and bobs. Some more tacky but some lovely native Indian jewels from the local tribes that look great. Basically you won’t regret anything here. A perfect tour. We went July. Insane heat and weather BUT the trip is broken up and air con van to lovely air on the boat trips. So the heat didn’t ruin anything just wear hats and bring water. But it wasn’t intense despite the heat (!) warning in the area. Yes in ONE part the bugs were bad but the Everglades and West Island / coastal areas we had no bugs at all so don’t let anything put you off. Tristan needs his own show his voice is so chill :) Highly recommend. Also no upselling AT ALL. We tipped the captains as felt they deserved it but had no pressure or stops that tried to sell. Just a guide who was very knowledgable. Even stopping at a local gas station for us (English) was an experience seeing local fishing tackle and equipment and “Skunk Ape!!” That’s still with a photo. Loved it. Life memories here.

Amazing day out, thoroughly recommend. You see the Everglades and their animals how you should - in the wild and not performing for us humans. So many facts and insights into the different animals, habitat and history, our guide was amazing. Highlights were definitely the gator boat ride and the mangrove boat ride where we were lucky enough to have dolphins swim with us. Yes it was pricey but for a hike day out and what we saw, worth every penny!

Absolutely fantastic experience. Marc was an amazing guide. Loved our Everglades adventure. I would highly recommend this trip

Trip was canceled Trip was supposed to be at 830 am. At 806 after arriving at the meeting point and after having drove 45 minutes through the morning traffic, we got a text from the tour operator that trip was cancelled because the transporting bus had a flat tire. So the whole idea of exploring the Everglades gone, just like that. Imagine going to Florida for a week, spend thousands of dollars to see the Everglades and only to be told the car had a flat tyre and so you won’t be going! Where is plan B, can you hire another van so you can actually complete service delivery. I would have hired second can if l was the tour operator, because that shows one cares about clients who come from all over the world to enjoy Miami. Put more effort and deliver please .

Reza was so amazing! Attentive, knowledgeable, caring, and enthusiastic. I learned so much from Reza on the tour and enjoyed every moment. Reza and the boat tour guides went above and beyond all of the time to make sure that we saw what we wanted to see throughout the day. Highly recommend Everglades Day Safari and Reza for anyone taking a future tour! I do wish the pickup location was close to a train station to make it easier for those staying in downtown Miami, but the location does provide easy access to get to the Everglades.

This was phenomenal and we would recommend to anyone. Stacey was an amazing and passionate tour guide, very knowledgeable and clearly loves the nature and land, we learned so much about the history. We went with our friends, kids ranging from 10-15. Airboat tour, history, nature walk, and boat tour were all great. Saw cool birds and gators, fascinating and wonderful!

Three of us took this tour, starting in Miami. The tour covers a lot of the different ecosystems in the Everglades (including sawgrass prairie, cypress swamp, and mangrove islands), which really took a full day. Stacy was a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide, and the various parts of the tour were very well organized. We learned a lot about the flora and fauna, geology, and history of the region, and saw gators, dolphins, cranes, eagles, and more. We thoroughly enjoyed the day -- even the lunch was great. It seemed expensive at first, but considering everything we encountered, it really is a good value. Highly recommended!

What a perfect day!!! Stacy provided us with such a day we will never forget. Stacy was very knowledgeable and excited to share that knowledgeable with us. She was as excited as we were when we saw something new.,!!

Spectacular experience, a full day where we saw many animals in the wild, such as alligators, crocodiles, manatees, dolphins, turtles, and many birds...without having to go see any alligator shows. If you do not like animals in captivity, do not hesitate to take this safari!!!!! Reza, our guide, is a wonderful and very attentive person. I recommend it 100% Thank you for everything.
