Doing what: Swim with Manatees at Crystal River plus Everglades Airboat Adventure
Didn't see or swim with a manatee. Boat Capt. said it was the weather. Didn't see an animal at Homossass park, it was pouring rain. Bus didn't pick us up in front of the gift shop where we waited in the rain and we had to walk to the bus soaking wet. Still pouring at the airboat ride, but rode anyway. Boat went fast and the rain beat against our faces so that we closed our eyes the whole ride and didn't see a thing. Breakfast good, lunch soaked through from running to shelter in the pouring rain. Could have been fun but otherwise miserable.

Doing what: 2-Day Miami South Beach Adventure from Orlando with Optional Dolphin Swim
Our trip started off in Orlando when the bus picked us up - we travelled down to Miami via the airboat ride with a couple of comfort break stops along the way unfortunately it was pouring with rain but we went out on the airboats anyway was fun but we were soaked through. The hotel in Miami was lovely and well situated.close to the beach. The dolphin trip was great fun I had expected loads of people to be there and it to be very busy but we were the only coach party there. Swimming with the dolphins was a one in a lifetime experience someone from the dolphin centre took loads of photos that you can view after your swim you can purchase individual photos or a cd - although the cd seemed pricey at $79 + tax for 2 people swimming there were over 100 photos on it and well worth the money - would definately recommend trip

Doing what: Kennedy Space Center and Everglades Airboat Safari from Orlando
It all went very smoothly, pick up on time, good driver, modern air-con coach with video feed of kennedy space centre information, airboat ride was good fun, saw some aligators, lasted about 30 mins, it would have been nice to be offered a cold drink perhaps though. Kennedy space centre was interesting but we maybe had too long there - in my opinion 4 hours would have been enough. Excellent photo opportunities!

we had a wonderful time on this excursion. the dolphins were obviously amazing. the airboat ride was so good we just wished it could have lasted a little longer. out guide Madeline was fantastic full of knowledge of the area it's history and people; nothing was too much trouble for her.

Doing what: Swim with Manatees at Crystal River plus Everglades Airboat Adventure
We had a blast. We were able to see several Manatees and some playful dolphins even showed up. The airboat was also fantastic. Saw a lot of alligators. The park's zoo was awesome so the whole trip was worth it. The driver and all the people who went were a lot of fun. Thanks!!

Doing what: Miami Day Trip and Florida Everglades Airboat Ride
The pick-up was on time and the guide had all details under control. She made sure that we all knew what we were doing and where we had to be. She was specific about times which was necessary to enable us to cover all the activities.
A breakfast pack is included because it is such an early start. It was appreciated but it would be nice if the inclusions were a little healthier. To be fair though the croissant was sealed and fresh and the cool drinks were nicely chilled.
It is a very long day so you need to be prepared for a tiring one. We got dropped off at midnight.

Doing what: Kennedy Space Center and Everglades Airboat Safari from Orlando
We took Kennedy Space Center and Everglades Airboat Safari tour from Viator as we did not have our own transportation and we wanted to save time finding the right place. The tour started at the designated pick up point. The bus driver / tour guide was good. We thought that we will take Airboat Safari first in the morning so we can see some wild life in Florida but the tour guide told us that the Airboat can not accommodate all of us in the morning so we have to go to Kennedy Space Center. We reached the Space Center in time just before 10 am and the tour guide gave us the great tip how to complete out tour within specified time limit so we can reach for much awaited Airboat safari at 4 PM. We did reach for the airboat safari at 4.30 PM and started our tour after waiting for about 30 minutes. We were group of about 44 people and there were four boats. The safari lasted for about 30 minutes. Which according to me is less compared to the price we paid. (USD 119 per person for Kennedy and Airboat) as far as I know the typical airboat safari of 45 min charge about USD40 - 45 (with USD 5 discount). Top of that the boat we were sitting did not go very deep in to the canal and we could not see any animal. It was not expected also as generally Alligators are on the banks in the mornings soaking the Sun. but at the same time other boats went right inside and they could spot some gators. So we felt cheated after paying so much money. The Airboat safari was not as expected. Space center was great. Viator should improve.

the airboat ride was fun.lucky with the weather considering thunder storms later.boat captain did a good of positioning the boat to catch sight of alligators and give a good narative on their feeding habits.overall a well worth it trip.
I have always wanted to visit the kennedy space centre.just fantastic better than I could ever have dreamed of.we were there for six hours and I still never got to see everything.will definately go back the next time i'm in florida.
