We Finally Saw Alligators!

This was a great after cruise experience. We've been to Florida many times but always wanted to see alligators. The airboat experience and other wildlife was an added bonus. If there's one recommendation I could give it's to BRING HEARING PROTECTION. Hearing protection is sold at the gift store but it's something small and simple to bring along with you and not have to pay extra for. The guides/boat pilots are great at spotting animals and telling you about them. <br /><br />What we didn't enjoy was that the bus made, what seemed like a tremendous amount of stops picking people up up and dropping people off from many different local places on the way to and from the Everglades Tour. While we didn't expect to have private transportation, the amount of stops before and after were many more than expected. That was the the main detractor. Yes, it's totally touristy, but a neat experience if you haven't seen or done something like this before.

Alligators.....and lots of them!

I was certainly surprised at the number of alligators that we saw in their natural habitat. The whole experience was fun and I actually got to hold a baby alligator.

Alligator Alley

We really enjoyed our trip to the Everglades, this was a first for me. The boat trip was amazing and the guide said they had never had a day when so ma alligators were seen. It was a smooth ride and plenty of time for pictures for those who wished to take them. At each sighing the guide would turn the boat so everyone on both sides could see and get shots. we would highly recommend this trip.

Fun time on airboat and alligator show. Not much else out there or on the ride, but worthwhile.

Fun on Steroids

We had a fantastic day out on the airboats. In Australia we don't have them so this was a fantastic experience. Thanks guys fir a great day

Great Time in the Everglades

Great day! The airboat ride was awesome and the Everglades were beautiful.

What a fun trip!

We went on this excursion after getting off the NCL cruise. The bus driver communicated with us very well in the morning to pick us up. It was a very nice tour bus and we got there within 1 hour, the guides were very fun and entertaining. We saw several gators and other wild birds, the boat tour was also very fun and exciting. There was also a gator show after the boat ride, they tood pictures for us too. We really enjoyed our time there!

Excellent adventure!!

My husband and I did this excursion together! We had a great time! Will definitely recommend this tour!!!

Fantastic trip well worth the money

We loved this trip the air boat ride was exhilarating and the alligator show was informative. The guys who did the boat tour and the show made it fun and thoroughly enjoyable an experience we won't forget.

So fun!

We really enjoyed the tour and the show after!

Fantastic trip

45 minute drive from south beach in a comfortable air conditioned bus. Air boat ride of around an hour was exciting and we saw a few alligators both swimming and on land. Also caught a glimpse of a turtle. Back at the centre there was a display of various reptiles and a show with a captive alligator with the chance to have your picture taken with a baby alligator. All in all a good trip, highly recommended.

A very good trip!

It is amazing. The driver is very nice and humorous.

very interesting

It was a allaround good experience, the boat was very noisy.

Had lots of fun!

First time down in Miami, definitely a must see. It was amazing how large the Everglades are! We read about it but seeing it is a much more awe inspiring feeling.

Great experience!

We came off a cruise earlier that day. If your bus could accommodate our 2 small luggages, it'll be much more appreciated. Wish you can add this service, even for a small fee.
