What To Expect

After a morning hotel pickup in the Miami area, it’s off to one of the most beautiful and unique places on earth — the Florida Everglades — for an exciting airboat adventure.

On this guided, 30-minute excursion through the Everglades, skim along the grassy water while listening to fun facts and learning about the area’s subtropical ecosystem from the experienced captain. Look for a variety of wildlife, like alligators, fish, turtles and wading birds in their natural habitat, an exciting and unspoiled wilderness. After the airboat ride, spend a couple hours at Everglades National Park. Walk along a jungle trail filled with crocodile exhibits, see an alligator wildlife show and more.

Then return to Miami for a 90-minute cruise along beautiful Biscayne Bay. Enjoy the view of Miami’s sun-splashed skyline, plus Fisher Island, Miami Beach, the Port of Miami's cruise ship and cargo districts and much more. Check out the high-rise hotels and condos plus the spectacular multi-million-dollar ocean front homes that line Miami Beach. And don’t forget to look down into the crystal clear water for the exotic marine life, like manatees, dolphins, manta rays and more.

Take a seat on the outer deck with a panoramic view or head downstairs to the enclosed, air-conditioned cabin. Soft drinks, beer, wine, cocktails and snacks are available for purchase on board the boat.

So, worthwhile excursions, but detailed instructions about what to look for would have helped!
Worth doing, the airboat ride but a pity we didn't see more gators.

Unorganised and poor information level
jan_t, Jan 2022
Unorganised and at Bayside close to chaotic. No bus to take us back to our hotel - so forced to take a taxi. Generally poor information
Bad timing, no gator show
Heike_K, Dec 2021
The boat trip was really nice. Lots of alligators. It was fun. Afterwords we waited half an hour for the gator show. When it finally started we had to leave, because our bus was waiting. Very disappointing. Unfortunately the agency did not even answer to our complain.
Not worth it
Melissa_M, Nov 2021
The ride to the Everglades took so long because the bus kept stopping. We were always running late and barely any communication or instructions once we got there. After the Everglades we had a boat ride booked at bayside market that was great but after it was done, the bus never showed up and we had to take an Uber back to our hotel
Rude car driver
Corinne_R, Jul 2021
Rude car driver. After the boat tour he didn't picked us up. After one hour waiting, we took a taxi for USD 50 to come home.
Alligators
Peter_L, Jul 2021
We did see alligators. The air boat was all covered so that was disappointing. The guide was good and the alligator show was as expected
Logistics are a nightmare
Melanie_H, Jul 2021
My husband and I booked this because we wanted to do an airboat tour in the Everglades and the millionaire cruise. While we enjoyed both excursions, I would 100% recommend booking them on your own and not through this company. Communication is terrible, and logistics were a nightmare. When we first arrived to the biscayne market, we couldn’t find where to board our bus. There was no sign, and when we stopped at the Island Queen booth (where we were told to go) she told us she didn’t know. We had to call the main Miami Gray Line office to figure it out, which took 10+minutes. Then, after our Everglades adventure, no one told us where to pick up our cruise. We were on the bus for more than two hours because the driver chose to drive past the port to drop people off in their south beach hotels. He kept breaking and gassing, creating a whiplash effect .. again, for two hours. When we arrived back at the port, we went back to the island queen booth. The woman told us my name wasn’t in the system. Again, we called Miami Gray Line again AND texted Víator. The lady from Miami Gray Line mentioned that the driver should have told us where to go. Clearly he didn’t (reminder: incredibly unpleasant drive). It took her 25+ minutes to figure it out (she kept telling me to find Terry — how am I supposed to know who Terry is??) Meanwhile Víator texted us back with the address we were already at??? And said Miami Gray Line sent me an email?? The address is for Biscayne Market, which has 4-5 cruise lines housed there. We were never told which we’d be on. Finally, the Miami Gray Line told us to GO BACK TO ISLAND QUEEN. The girl there finally scanned our ticket and we were able to board. Víator was ZERO HELP. It was also downpouring during this. We got the feeling they were trying to rip people off — most people would not have gone through what we did to get on the cruise. They would have either left or bought another ticket. Again, the excursions were cool, just save yourself the hassle and book a rental car to go to Everglades Holiday Park and buy your own boat cruise.
The Everglades were amazing!
Bill_P, Jun 2021
The Everglades airboat tour was awesome! Our boat guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we were going to see some gators before we left!! We didn’t tour the Biscayne Bay because, for whatever reason unknown to us, the bus driver was dropping people from our tour before the cruise. I’m assuming it is because it was supposed to be only 6 hours in length and it surpassed that time. The bus driver kept stopping on the busy turnpike to check out the bus and we felt very nervous about getting rear ended. He never told us why he kept getting out.

Ok tour.
Nelson_P, Jun 2021
Everglades was ok. At least I got to know the Everglades but I wish the ride went further in. Boat tour was ok too. I was not completely happy nor dissatisfied.
Terrible experience
anthony_l, Jun 2021
The actual experience was unorganized and their was no direction from the leader. Then we were told the van to go home would be waiting on us. An hour later we finally took an Uber.
