Wild Everglades Airboat Safari: Untamed Nature Adventure

Unfortunately, we didn't see any crocodiles in the wild because the water level was high and the weather was windy. We saw them later at the exhibit. But it was a lot of fun to ride the boat. Don't bring caps or hats because they fly off when the boat is going fast.

We had an amazing time! Do not be discouraged by the negative reviews. We’ve wanted to do a fan boat ride in Everglades for years, and today we did it. Couldn’t ask for a smoother, better trip. We did not see in alligators in the wild, but that is the way it goes sometimes. Our captain said it was most likely the wind. But we still enjoyed the boat ride. It is loud and husband wished we had brought ear plugs. So that is my suggestion to you. All staff interactions were wonderful. We tip well for good service and are happy to do it.

The trip itself was enjoyable, but the experience with Miami Double Decker (miamitours.com) was incredibly frustrating and disappointing. I had booked the 9:00 AM tour, but when I realized I was running late, I called the company for guidance. They told me the tour had been rescheduled to 1:00 PM, which seemed fine at the time — so I changed plans and went to the new location. When I arrived for the 1:00 PM tour, I was suddenly told I had to pay an extra $15 per person. I explained that no one mentioned this charge during my phone call earlier, but they completely denied ever speaking with me! To make things worse, the 1:00 PM tour didn't even leave until 1:30 PM — which means the 9:00 AM tour probably wouldn’t have left until 9:30 AM. If they had told me the actual departure time in the morning, I could have made it to the original tour. The lack of communication, hidden fees, and refusal to take responsibility made for a terrible customer service experience. I strongly recommend booking with a more professional and transparent tour operator. Avoid Miami Double Decker.

Everything was great, we left on time, everything was perfect, the driver was very nice, the double-decker bus was very comfortable, and had air conditioning. We saw two crocodiles while swimming, which was a huge pleasure, and the bonus was that we were able to hold and take a photo with a baby crocodile, and we even tried a crocodile taco cafe 😎🤓… Overall, the experience was unforgettable… We left at 9:00 am and returned at 1:20 pm. Everything was very worthwhile and pleasant, and most importantly, the price for this experience was worth it.

The airboat tour was a great experience. The tour guides at the Everglades were knowledgeable and fun to learn from. The bus ride however was another story. The bus ride to the Everglades was about a hour long which was made clear at the beginning. The bus would only go 30 mph on the way back to the pick up spot following the activity. Then adding traffic into the mix, an hour drive turned into over two hours. Any mechanical issues were not related to the group. I would do this activity again but would not probably book through this third party company.

It was neat to see an alligator in its natural habitat. However, due to the weather the boat ride was cut in half. The food stand was closed so we couldn’t eat lunch like it said (that was not due to weather). The store was small and so were the exhibits. They didn’t even offer anything to compensate for the trip being cut short. Over all it was ok but I won’t be revisiting.

This was so much fun. The staff and tour operator was friendly and professional. Perfectly priced. Saw plenty of wildlife without disturbing their environment.

Americans don't ask for tips please hire more American drivers, asking for tips sound so terrible........

This was a really fun and great learning experience! Our Captain Jack was very informative about the Everglades ecosystem! We saw some beautiful birds and lively plantation, unfortunately we did not see an gators in the water for our tour, BUT they have an exhibit in the back with lots of alligators and reptiles and being able to hold one of the baby gators was an unforgettable experience!

This tour was good value for money, and the driver was friendly and knowledgeable. Got to see the desired sights at a comfortable pace. However, no alligator spotting as it was a warm day, but the airboat ride in itself was wonderful!
