We ordered a 60 minute ride. When we got there all of us got a 30 minute right. I was also under the impression I was going to a National park and not just a tourist trap.

Dear Mr. Mark Schaerrer, Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. Upon reviewing your booking we are happy to confirm that you did in fact select the Everglades tour option, not the Everglades National Park option. Everglades National Park is a limited area that protects the southern 20 percent of the Everglades in Florida. The remaining 80% of the area are not a part of the official National park. We do in fact offer tour option to both the official National Park and the remaining area of the Everglades. Best regards, Vincent

Not recommended! Not an efficient trip and the alligator farm have very very few things to see. Waste of money
Rosemarie_B
, Jun 2022
There was no positive memory to write about. Bus was late 1.15 hours. And boat trip was cancelled. The bus made 3 stops hence further delaying the trip. Had we left on time and no other stops we would have missed the rain. Terrible terrible terrible. The air con in the bus didn’t work. Toilet didn’t have toilet paper. And the seat in front of my colleague’s is broken. The passenger was almost laying on my colleagues lap.

Dear Rosemarie Bravin: Our sincere apologies for the bad weather you encountered and the inconveniences. During the summer months we highly recommend our morning tour in order to avoid the sometimes rainy afternoons in the Evergaldes. Your bus underwent a major overhaul yesterday and the air-conditioning has since been readjusted. Again our sincere apologies and thank you for taking the time to provide us with the important feedback. Best regards, Vincent

Dear Christina Graham, We are so sorry you didn't enjoy Everglades National Park, we are in fact a natural eco-system.Unlike in a zoo, animals are not displayed but rather live here in their natural habitat.

It’s a tourist ride through manmade canals in the Everglades , not a nature adventure, take note.
William_V
, Jun 2022
Fun one hour session once you get there but long bus ride. The bus driver was fun and engaging, but the Everglades itself was not as interesting because you only get to go on the manmade canals, understandably. This way you don’t actually damage the Everglades but you also don’t REALLY get to see the Everglades. Fun to spot some alligators (we saw 4) and birds though and learn about the eco-system a bit, but it did not meet my expectations of adventure and nature. It was quite touristy.

Dear Mr. William Van Mossevelde, Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. We are glad you enjoyed our tour guide, the birds and of course the alligators. Since the Everglades are a protected nature reserve boats do in fact navigate through specific water ways and canals in order to preserve the nature. Thank you so much for taking note that we care deeply about our unique eco-system and environment ! For a more intimate Everglades experience we highly recommend our 60 minute early morning Everglades experience. Best regards, Vincent

Alligators up close in the wild!! Be prepared for generous tipping….
Peter_B
, May 2022
The airboat ride was amazing. We were able to see so many gators one of the which came very close to the boat!!! The Everglades are at an all time low water level so we were unable to go on the rapid rise routes. The airboat pilot (Jimbo) was amazing. Very knowledgeable and would turn the boat round in order for all passengers to get a close look at the gators. We were worried that there would be too many people On the airboat in order to all see the alligators but this wasn’t the case at all. The show was very good and the alligator wrangler was funny and informative. All I would say is to take plenty of tipping money as you are expected to tip the coach driver; the airboat pilot and the alligator show person and all in between. It is a little confusing and does add on to the price considerably so bear this in mind.

The trip is OK when you have ample of time in Miami. If its a 3-5 days trip you better spend it elsewhere. The trip had a 30 sec view of an alligator and that is it.

Dear Ms. Kanchan Mishra: Thank you so much for your valuable feedback, we are sorry not all of our gators came out to see you.

Horrible customer service
James_L
, Apr 2022
Viator asks if I enjoyed the experience. No, I didn't. I booked the experience with hotel pick up. I was outside my hotel at the given time. The tour company called to tell me to be there, and I was already there. There was no pickup at my hotel. I called the tour company and was disconnected FOUR TIMES. Then, they had the nerve to send me an email saying they were sorry *I* missed the bus, and they would not offer a refund. *I* was outside my hotel for over 20 minutes attempting to hey picked up, and calling, and being ignored and hung up on. Nearly 24 hours later, and I still only got that one email. They have my number, they could have called. If I could leave zero stars, I would.

Dear Mr. James Laveck, We are so sorry you missed the entire tour because you were late and fully understand your frustration. The pick up time had been clearly communicated to you in advance and our entire group of 19 guests waited for over 8 minutes patiently for you but you failed to show up. We understand plans can change while on vacation, hopefully you will be able to enjoy the Everglades on your next Florida vacation. Best regards, Vincent Guest Relations Manager
