Full description
Begin at a meeting point in Miami Beach and board the bus to travel to the Everglades Holiday Park. Once at the park you will have the opportunity to receive a free photo of you and your group before embarking on an airboat tour. Sail through the canals where there will be plenty of photo ops to catch wildlife in their natural habitat. Experienced guides offer tips to ensure you spot alligators large and small, as well as soft-shelled turtles and birds you won’t find anywhere else. After your airboat ride, enjoy a wildlife show where you will see alligators up close. Learn how these reptiles, who were hunted close to extinction, made a dramatic recovery to be removed from the endangered species list. Cameras are allowed, so be sure to take plenty of photos to show and tell your friends about these intriguing prehistoric animals. Right after the show, have your picture taken with a baby gator. The time in the park will be approximately 2 hours before you begin your return journey back to Miami.

We had such a great time! My husband has always wanted to see the Everglades, ride on an air boat and see an alligator and we were able to do just that. We saw plenty of alligators out in the Everglades. We didn’t get to the park until 11 and had to be back at the bus at 12:30 so all we were able to do was the boat tour, alligator show and the baby gator picture. We had to rush through the animal exhibit and did not have time for the gift shop. We were able to grab a snack but did not have time to get any real food from the cafe.

-Everglades Holiday Park, The park is currently under construction so it felt a little Tiger Kingy like when we arrived, but everything was very professional when you got a closer look -Airboat Ride, we had a great guide that spotted multiple gators for us and informed us about everything, he circled back so both sides of the boat saw the wildlife multiple times. Some other boats just sped along though, so your luck really just depends on your guide. -Gator show, was a little rushed. Only like 10 minutes long, only 2 tricks performed but pretty informative. -Bus, Our instructions said to meet at Soundscape park, so we took an Uber from Bayside Marketplace to Soundscape, only to be informed we were picking up the other half of our group from Bayside Marketplace. That wasn't an option when we booked our tour. The bus was cold like all the other reviews say. I'm pretty sure our bus driver left people behind since they weren't back to the bus in time. So pay attention to the time.

After a false start when the bus doors would not shut and a long delay without any communication from the tour operators and we were left in limbo we eventually changed bus much to the annoyance of the travellers on the second bus who were required to get off so that those on the first bus could get on and start our tour (first come first served) we then started our tour which turned out to be a drive to the Everglades park a 30 minute airboat ride which was enjoyable followed by a 15 minute alligator show which was not very active followed by a drive back to South Beach. So an apparent 4 hour tour was cut short by nearly an hour because of the problems with the bus
