Propelled by an aircraft-type propeller and powered by either an aircraft or automotive engine, have a fast and fun journey. Complete your visit with a wildlife and alligator show.

What people are saying about Everglades City

Scott was so real, funny, and engaging! My son was the only kid in the group (12 yrs) and he made sure the tour was educational, but in a “fun” way. We saw several alligators, but the boat ride alone was worth the cost. One of our favorite Florida experiences!!!

Very cool experience. Really very informative and a good alternative to discover the Everglades. Recommended in the winter months when the alligators prefer to be on the shore. Really great guide and highly recommended.

Worked great! Enjoyed our Big Bus tour, especially our stop in Little Havana for lunch! Highly recommend Old’s Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina. Also, the Millionaire’s Row Sightseeing Cruise was fun for the whole family.

We got to see several alligators, crocodile, and birds. It was a quality experience and fun for the value

Would highly recommend this excursion for the entire family. Fun, informative and the area is beautiful.
