Airboat-eventyr i Miami Everglades med transport

This was a really good tour and well organised.

Awesome swamp boat ride!

Was okay, but honestly I was expecting much more, because the tour was too short for its price.

6 hours of my life i'll never get back!
The actual Everglades part was OK - the guides were knowledgeable, and as expected from other reviews - only saw a lot of water, grass and not really much wildlife. The information from the captive stuff was interesting, but was standard stuff from the internet or Utube. Toilets at the centre really really need a re-vamp, as does the café. But all in all not a bad 90 mins.

HOWEVER - getting to and from the place using Grayline transport was enough to tip the most patient of people over the edge!! Everyone was clearly given pick up times and venues, and these had been repeated in emails and on vouchers - but each time we arrived at a point the woman escort disappeared off sometimes for 15 minutes to go and find people who had not bothered to turn up on time. The worst set of travellers from the Miami Marriott were still eating breakfast whilst we sat waiting, so we left, did two more pick ups and then

Très bon moment passés, un peu plus de moments passés avec les alligators auraient été un must, mais je recommande.

le prestaire change le point de ramassage et ne prévient pas ......honteux non ......et cest à nous de se faire entendre par tel bien sûres ..dommage .....puis un arrête de 45 mins pas prévue pour attendre des gens ...du coup même pas passe 1 h30 sur place ça reste le bus doit repartir a 16h .......

Très déçus par l'organisation. C'est un piège à touriste. La seule chose de bien sur de 4h30 d'excursion, c'est les 30 minutes d'aeroglisseur En effet, nous devions être pris en charge au Hilton à downtown à 13h15 le 7 mars. La veille un mail nous informe que l'horaire est passé à 14h et 30 minutes avant le depart on nous demande de nous rendre au hard rock cafe à plusieurs kms ce que nous avons refusé. Finalement une voiture privée est venue nous chercher au lieu convenu pour le point de départ situé à Bayside marketplace. Un vieux car de la compagnie Grey line nous attendait plein a craquer : suspensions imaginaires, clim bruyante qui ne fonctionnait pas et surtout vieilles banquettes inconfortables....mais pas pour moi.! Le nombre de places assises n'était pas suffisante et j'ai dû voyager debout ou assise par terre pendant la plus grande partie du trajet aller aux everglades soit 1h30. Au retour le chauffeur désagréable nous a lâché à plusieurs kilomètres de notre lieu de ramassage initial et nous avons dû payer un taxi pour rentrer !

Interesting but not spectacular. Did not see a lot of wild life and boat ride was not very long. Most of the time we were left to wander and check out the alligators through the fence.

This tour was really awesome. I was picked up at Bayside right at 10:15 and we were on our way to the everglades. It was about an hour drive with the other stops we had to make. Once we were there, we had a few minutes before the airboat tour departed. The airboat was so much fun! You have to wear ear plugs and I recommend sitting on the sides if you can, it will be harder to see if you sit in the middle. Right as we left the main area we saw two alligators up on land and a turtle sitting on a branch. Once in the open water we saw a huge alligator swimming, on the banks there was a mama alligator on her nest, and heading back to the main area there was a smaller alligator swimming. The airboat driver was really funny and he gave a lot of good information on the types of birds, fish, and insects we saw. After the airboat we went on to the alligator show where there were 3 more alligators and a snake. After the show, you could hold a baby alligator and get your picture with him for 3. You take the boardwalk back to the main area and along that there are more alligators enclosed. The bus left back to Miami at 1:30 and the way back was less than an hour. Don't forget to bring sunscreen and bug spray!

The Trip was very good........ the tour of the Everglades was as advertised, about a 30 minute airboat ride. Quite thrilling and worth the price of admission. The bus driver was on time and courteous when we were picked up from Downtown Miami. The return trip was also pleasant, and the driver dropped us off at a different location which helped... My basic beef that prevents this trip from being a 4 or 5 star trip was the fact that I was wither mis-lead or naive in thinking we'd enter the Park Boundaries next to the National Park visitor center. We never visited the Official Park Visitor center that was a bid minus. We missed out on the official park Exhibits, movie, and walking trails into the everglades. This boat area-tour, is privately run, and about 30 minutes east of the Official National Park Visitor Center.
