What a great time, pickup and drop off were a breeze. Josh our tour guide was a great guy. Everyone on the tour were very nice. The Airboat ride was incredible.

Learn about the different ecosystems of this Unesco World Heritage site (the only one in Florida), and understand the role of water in its conservation. Explore a bit on your own as well, including stopping in at the Visitors Center.
Go on an incredible air boat ride for 1-hour or more on a smaller air boat that allows you to go way out there far from land in the true "River of Grass," vast water wilderness. Go far from land and stop at one or two native tree island villages where the Native people used to live. Experience the remote beauty of their unique way of life. See large alligators, baby alligators, a wide variety of bird species, and much more!

Leanna (sorry if mis-spelt) was an excellent tour guide. Passionate and knowledgable. My son and I had a great experience. We saw alligators with babies. Insects, birds & fish. Learnt a lot about the ecosystem of the everglades, including fauna, different creatures, native and invasive species. The ride on the air boat was surprisingly very relaxing, near to theraputic. We stopped at an island to view some Tiki hurs and learnt how the natives lived and survived. All very enjoyable.
We had a great time with Armando and captain Josh on our Everglades tour. Armando was so knowledgeable about every plant and animal we saw, and he took the time to explain the properties of the plants and their uses. The entire experience was through a lens of deep appreciation and respect for the nature around us and the knowledge of the indigenous peoples in the area, which made the experience much more memorable. The logistics of the trip also went without a hitch; we were picked up straight from our hotel and were provided snacks and supplies throughout the trip.
Great experience friendly staff covers Both a . Small walk/hike and then airboat which was the highlight. Saw some decent local wildlife and good explanations of the history. .
Tour was very interesting. Guide was friendly- and knowledebla weather was perfect for Everglades in September
The tour is interesting, especially the tour guide. He tells us more about the park with trees and animals. You also have a great time on the boat in Everglades. Seeing the alligators nearby is so cool
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
Armando was an incredible guide. He was very knowledgeable on the plants, wildlife, and nature in general.
Wonderful experience. Armando is a great guide.
Great tour with the perfect mix of sightseeing and adventure. The airboat was the highlight, offering amazing views of the everglades. The airboat ride was both fun and informative. A great way to experience Florida's natural side.
Overall, the experience was fine. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It wasn't as described, though. We didn't spend any time in the Indian Village, the walk was down a paved trail and didn't last the two hours, and if we drove over several bridges to see the Sawgrass, we didn't know we did it. The air boat ride is down a canal, which wasn't as exciting as we had hoped. I booked the tour for the four didn't parts, but as far as I know, we only did two of them. I think the tour itself was good, but they do need to update the description to match what they do.
Wonderful introduction to the Everglades with personable and knowledgeable guide. Saw a limpkin, roseate spoonbills and at least a dozen alligators, among other things.
Enjoyable trip Plenty of alligators but not guaranteed to see other wildlife but we did see some rare birds The walk is just along a tarmac lane - not really what you would class an Everglades experience and lots of cyclists in the area
We had an amazing experience on our half-day Everglades tour with Armando! He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and he shared so many interesting facts about the wildlife and the Everglades ecosystem. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend this tour — especially if you get Armando as your guide!
Amazing and experienced guides, the half day adventure was the best morning of casual hike and air boat ride!! Just fantastic!!
This was a wonderful way to experience the area of Shark Valley in the Everglades. Ryan was our “land” guide and he was a wealth of information about so many things: history, botany, bird and animal life. He did a fantastic job Another Ryan led the airboat part of the tour. He was very attentive to making sure we saw alligators, various birds, turtles. It was unfortunate for us that we couldn’t travel the sawgrass, the water levels are just so low right now. It’s the ONLY reason I didn’t give the tour a “5”, and it’s through no fault of theirs.
We had a great time on our half-day tour of the Everglades with our guide Tammy! Saw a ton of critters and the fan boat ride was excellent. This was a great way to get out of the city and enjoy nature. They even picked us up straight from the hotel making it super convenient. Thanks for a fun day!
Goes by fast but packed with sites. If I'm ever back in Miami I want to try the full day tour!
Our guide (Addy) was great! Super friendly and happy to answer any questions. We did see a bunch of alligators, turtles and herons on our walk. Wish the walk was a bit longer, but it gets hot fast. Bugs bothered some of us and not others. If you are susceptible to being bit, use bug repellent. The airboat tour was ok. We did see more birds, but not sure it was worth it after having seen gators on the walk. I was expecting to go more into the depths of the Everglades, but we just stayed along the canal. I also thought that we'd be going to some indian villages, but we did not. That could have been my mistake. Not sure I would recommend this tour.???
We had a great time on our Everglades tour. Our guide Ryan was super knowledgeable, and he clearly loves the Everglades and loves sharing it with visitors.
What an amazing tour! Our guide Lindsay was great! Our guided walk was informative and full of wildlife, we saw several species of birds and so many alligators, even babies! The airboat ride was very fun and we saw more alligators and spoonbills! It was a perfect day and exceeded our expectations, would definitely recommend!
The tour was awesome, we saw a bunch of different animals, lots of different bird species that we could get pictures from the boat ride and of course alligators everywhere, especially on our walk with our guide Addy, who was very knowledgeable and kind. Would recommend.
Addie was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. Team was communicative about pickup,drop off and what to expect. Recommend it for sure!
The tour was awesome. Picked us up right from our hotel in Brickell, which was a nice bonus. Lots of nature & interesting information from the guides. Great walking path and had very nice well maintained facilities…. And the boat ride was awesome. (No, you dont get wet unless it’s raining)
Pre information excellent, pick up was punctual, transport good quality, shark valley was good, airboat ride excellent. Really well organised, really enjoyed it.
Our guide Lindsey was very informative and helpful. Enjoyed seeing the different wildlife on our walk in the park.
Awesome half day trip with Alfonso. He spent time teaching about the plant and their uses as well as pointing out wildlife. Highly recommend this tour to get a feel for the Everglades and the natives who live there.
Wonderful excursion led by our guide Armando. He was very knowledgeable and we learned so much about the plants and animals. The Everglades are a must see.
Armando was a fantastic tour guide. This was an outstanding experience!
Excellent tour! Interesting, easy hike in Shark Valley Visitor Center. Saw many alligators, turtles, and birds. The air boat ride was beautiful and fun!
Great experience! Our tour guide, Addie, made the tour...very knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and enthusiastic about the ecosystem and flora/fauna of the area!
It was fun and enjoyed experiencing the airboat for the first time. Be prepared that the boat has no canopy and it’s straight Florida sun! Wear long sleeves
We had a lot of fun with Addy. She was very knowledgeable.
Tammy was our wonderful guide, beside being a careful driver on the busy highway Fort Lauderdale -Miami . During our walking tour we could stop and admire many wild animals; mama and baby alligator, an incredible variety of birds, soft shell turtles, many fish and more. Tammy shared stories about the park, the drought they are facing, and made sure that everyone in our group was comfortable and happy. The boat part was interesting as well. Particularly appreciated is the door to door transportation from Fort Lauderdale.
Amazing experience. Highly recommend. Great customer service.
Great tour , lots of birds and alligators. I would recommend to anyone. Especially with our guide Addy!
Thank you so much Daddy for your kindness and professionalism. It was a pleasure to life this adventure with you.
Seamless from start to finish. Mitch was our driver and tour guide who was absolutely brilliant. His enthusiasm, knowledge and passion made it an unforgettable experience. Getting up close with the alligators was fantastic. The Miccosukee airboat ride was even better than we had imagined. Our skipper Elvis made sure we had a great time while zooming around the Everglades! We just want to book up again next time we are in town!
Fantastic way to get out of the hustle and bustle of Miami and to enjoy one of the most unique, natural areas in the world. The Everglades encompasses many different ecosystems, so you see a wild variety of animals and vegetation. Armando, our tour guide, taught us ecology, history, and culture, all with a great attitude and sense of humor. We learned so much, and my kids had a great time.
Enjoyable over all. The boat tour of the Everglades required adjustments to be made due to drought conditions. We were told this the day prior. Instead of boating through the swampy grasslands we traveled up and down a channel. Not quite what we had in mind.
Tammy and Freddy were great! They shared their wildlife knowledge and make sure we were all hydrated, safe and had a good time! Great for teens too!
So much fun! Tammy and Freddy did not disappoint! Hope to come again.
Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We appreciated the snacks on the trip. While the boat ride itself was enjoyable it was lackluster. Maybe my expectations were higher for more of a high speed adventure through the Everglades, but this was basically a trip down a man made channel with a short detour into the wetlands.
