He shared information about the park and the Everglades during the drive. We arrived at the park before the crowds and were one of the first groups to board a boat. The boat captain, and the rest of the staff at the park, were super helpful and seemed to be genuinely engaged with all of us and the work they do. 100% recommend.”

Leave from 305 Lincoln Road in Miami Beach for a round-trip bus ride to an Everglades airboat site. Your Coast Guard-certified captain takes you through marsh grass and mangrove tunnels for about 40 minutes, followed by limited time for exhibits and lunch.

“The trip we booked was for 1pm. Said to be there 1/2 hour early. We got there and we're told bus would not arrive till 130. We did not even leave the mtg place till 2pm or so. We had figured by what site said that we would be back by 430 or so. We did not get back till after 6pm. Glad we did not make other plans too. The airboat tour was good. No real complaints there. Just the Miami tours companies lack of time management is the real issue.”

Ride an airboat through Everglades Holiday Park, watch for alligators and birds, and visit the park’s exhibits and walking trail. Gray Line Miami provides pickup from selected Miami Beach and Downtown hotels. Expect a fun boat ride, but allow extra time for shared bus transfers.

“The trip was really good but the booking process with Viator not so much. Booked online and chatted with Gillian who seemed unable to advise where the nearest pick up was to our hotel. There was a list of addresses to choose from but nothing near us. She advised 'just pick one' and the booking would be amended on completion. This proved not to be the case and several emails later I was still none the wiser. It wasn't until Grayline the actual tour operator contacted me the day before the trip on Whatspp to offer pick up options that I felt reassured that we would be going on the…”
