Perfect half day trip from Miami
jennyfU9193VB,Jun 16, 2026

5.00We had a great trip to see the Alligators. Antoine was fantastic - really welcoming, the van picked us up on time and in the agreed location (I was a bit concerned as the meeting point is a hotel that is now closed but there was no need to worry). Van was super comfortable, and Antoine talked to us on the drive to the location about what we were going to see - we learnt a lot about alligators on the drive! Boat ride itself was great, we had plenty of time on the water (Antoine chose the location to make sure his tour groups got as much time on the water as possible) and saw 4 alligators, loads of birds and a turtle just chilling on a rock. It was a great way to spend a morning. Totally doable trip from Miami - we left around 8am and were back for about 12.30 so had more time to explore the city in the afternoon. Antonio even had croissants waiting for his when we got off the boat. He was a brilliant host - nothing was too much trouble. His football chat was pretty good too - it had been the Champions league the night before - for anyone who is in Miami for the World Cup!
Good tour. Worth the money

5.00This was great overall. Late 40s dad and 3 kids 16-21. Antoine was great as the driver and tour guide. It was a full van so us 4 in the back of the van was a little tight. The airboat was nice. We saw 5 alligators, birds, fish, turtles. Only negative was the boat was a little wide so people in the center couldn't see quite as well and air flow was greatly reduced for them by the windshield. Nice to be covered from the sun, though. The alligator show was ok.

5.00I absolutely loved this activity! Antoine handled our transportation. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. After chatting with him, he obviously had a lot of pride in his business and it shows in his customer service. When we got to the Everglades, our airboat captain (Captain Chaos) had been there for 18 years and was the top captain. Before we pulled off, his granddaughter (also a captain) as well as another stopped by to chat. They gave each other a hard time just like family does and it was so great to see the dynamic between them all. Captain Chaos showed us all the great spots to see the gators and we saw 5! After the airboat ride, the educational show was put on by one of the Gator Boys. You could tell he loves what he does (it’s all volunteer-based so he must!) I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to visit the Everglades.

4.00Fascinating and adventurous, a water safari that allows you to observe the swamp inhabitants up close.
Incredible experience!

5.00Excellent excursion in the Everglades! A big thank you to our French guide Antoine, who made this day particularly enjoyable. During the outbound trip, he explained the history and ecosystem of the Everglades, as well as many aspects of Miami and Miami Beach, while sharing very good addresses and recommendations for our stay. The round trips went by very quickly and were as informative as they were enjoyable. Once on site, we enjoyed about an hour of hovercraft ride. We were fortunate to observe several alligators as well as snakes in their natural environment. The pilot regularly turned around or slowed down so that passengers on both sides of the boat could see the animals well and take photos. I highly recommend this excursion, especially if you have the chance to have Antoine as your guide!

5.00The airboat ride is fun, you get some speed and drift over the water. We saw 2 gators, it was incredible seeing them in their natural space. Wish it was longer but that’s ok, the Florida sun is hot! The van pickup was convenient and the driver Charlie had such a warm personality.
