The tour was amazing, from the bus driver Mr Blanc, he was super nice and funny, to the tour itself. The boat ride was good and the captain made sure we all saw the alligators, the show was also good. The. You can hold a gator or a snake and take a picture. We loved it.

Ronet B picked us up from Miami Beach right at 8:30 as promised. On the way to Biscayne Bay, Ronet gave us a mini sightseeing tour. The coach was really comfy and we arrived at The Everglades Holiday Park in under an hour. Ronet B guided us to the right spots at the park, and soon we were taking pictures and boarding the boat. We spotted a few alligators, which was awesome since it's not always a sure thing, and our captain Jeff was great; loved the fast parts! After the boat ride, there was a show, and you had the chance to hold a snake or baby alligator for $10. Ronet B was outside waiting for us and handed out our photos (for free) that were taken before we got on the boat. We had a blast, really appreciate it, and if you get the chance, go for it!

This experience was worth every penny. From the get-go, the company does a solid job of keeping you informed about what to expect. The trip from Miami Beach to the park took about an hour. Once we arrived, the host quickly got us on the airboat. During the ride, we spotted several alligators, and the captain made sure all sides of the boat had similar views. After the airboat ride, there was an alligator show where biologists shared insights about alligators and their situation in Florida. It was really educational. Overall, totally worth the cost.

Alligators, adventure, and an airboat ride are what you can expect from this one-of-a-kind trip from Miami to Everglades Holiday Park.

With an English or Spanish live guide, gain insights into the Everglades ecosystem and frame your memories with a complimentary pre-journey photo.

Glide through the Everglades to spot diverse wildlife like turtles and birds, and enjoy an interactive show featuring majestic Floridian alligators.

With transportation from select central locations in Miami, this is a seamless way to explore the Everglades without the hassle of planning your way to the National Park.

Fun fact: The Everglades is the only known place in the world where alligators and crocodiles coexist.

We were picked up from the cruise terminal by coach and had a nice informative drive around Miami and the Everglades about what we were going to experience. Once we arrived, we got our photos taken and then headed onto the airboat. Unfortunately, we only saw two gators during our 30-minute tour, but we did spot some birds, including vultures and an iguana. The airboat was a blast, especially loud when it sped up. After the airboat tour, we watched the gator show where we learned a lot about the gators while watching the gator wrestler do some wild tricks. We even got to take photos with a baby gator and a snake, which was extra but a great photo op. After that, we had a chance to shop in the gift store and then we were taken to the airport for our flight home. We had a great time and would recommend it.

Overall, both adults and kids enjoyed the airboat ride into the Everglades (spotted quite a few gators!) with a great guide, Victor. Watching the guy with the alligator was also fun and amazing. Loved the photo ops with wildlife for an extra charge and the free group photo. It would’ve been helpful if the bus driver had given us the schedule ahead of time. We were a bit lost, but our bus group with colored wristbands was called on the speaker a few times to tell us where to go. Comfortable bus. Overall, a good time.

The driver Germán was very nice and attentive. However, the alligator tour was hit or miss—you might see them or you might not. They need to figure out a way to ensure you see the alligators. Given the price and the long trip, seeing just two eyes in the water was disappointing. Also, the whole tour was in English, so if you don't understand English, you miss out on the journey. The buses were very hot going back and forth, they really need to update the air conditioning.
