Not what is advertised

We paid for what we thought was a "small group" excursion with no more that 7 people. The picture of the boat even shows a small boat. when they say "no more than 7" they actually mean no more than 7 people in the shuttle/car. You are then put on a big boat that actually only costs around $50/person (if you were to buy the ticket there). Best to skip this provider and just either drive/ride share to the location. The owner offered us a 20% discount after we majorly complained. whopee. We have yet to get that refund. This company needs to take a class on truth in advertising. Very deceptive

Overall great experience with one problem

It was a very fun experience and despite the heat, all was enjoyable. The only reason I have given it 4 stars is that on the boat journey there was a high chance you could get a bad seat as if you were in the middle of the boat, the alligators were too far away to see, or if you did see them, it wouldn’t be close up; whereas being on the edge meant you could see the gators up close and could take quality photos of them.

The ride there and back was part of the tour.

A ride worth the ride! Got picked up early at hotel in Miami. Not traffic heading out west to the Everglades. Our tour guide Rolando was awesome, and turned what should have just been a transfer into a real informative tour of the city. Only disappointment was that the boat at the tour site was large (description by aviator said “no more than 7”…per row on the air boat I guess).. saw plenty of gators, and the gator show after was neat. On the way back to South Beach Jonaldo suggested we try Little Havana because it wasn’t much of a beach day. Was one of the highlights of our trip. Spent a little more, but got door to door service and extras that made it worth it!

Great excursion

We were assigned the same guide on our drive to and from the Everglades Park. It was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the area and give us some great tourist tips. Rolando was an excellent guy would be happy to work with him again. Be prepared for any kind of weather! Overall worthwhile excursion highly recommended
