Your Itinerary

Miami

(Pass by)

How Miami was born out of the Everglades... Historically the Everglades used to stretch through the coastal areas of what today is South Florida's metropolitan area. That's why our guides will start talking about the Everglades as soon as we pick you up. Your guide doesn't just give you a standard text about the Everglades that you could read yourself. No! He loves his job and the unique ecosystem of the Everglades and will actively integrate you and your questions into the tour.

Everglades Wildlife Management Area

'Fast paced' perfectly describes the 60-minute airboat ride through the 'River of Gras' that we hand selected for you. On your trip into this incredibly beautiful natural habitat which is home to alligators, turtles, snakes and plenty of other wild animals you have the chance to make lifelong memories, take in what mother nature has to offer and take stunning pictures that your friends and family are going to cherish. Our airboat ride takes twice as long (60 minutes) and is twice as fast (speeds of up to 49 mp / h) as the competitions. With the passage of the centuries the Everglades have constantly changed and had to face new challenges. Be it drying them out, constructional development, or the invasion of non-native plants and animal species from all over the world. This is the best place for you to experience the incredible biodiversity of the Everglades' unique flora and fauna.

Everglades National Park

Stroll the souvenir shop for the perfect memorabilia! Before we take you back to your hotel or residence, we explain how alligator farming has helped getting these beautiful animals off of the endangered species list and the drive back is your chance to ask all questions that haven't been answered yet.

Excellent bus Tour guide who was very informative. Alligator show and airboat ride were very entertaining but we chose a time of the season were the Everglades was experiencing a big drop in water levels and Alligator mating season so we only spotted 1 Alligator out on our boat trip. A very enjoyable experience nearly ruined by the appalling Banana Joe customer services (contacted via Whatsapp) who was unwilling to help and very rude. For anyone booking via TripAdvisor/Viator requesting any information/confirmation of your Tour the Banana Joe contact number is virtually useless. Apparently booking directly and via TripAdvisor they are unwilling to answer any questions eg pick times, locations, bookings etc. My query to the Tour operator was to confirm pick areas, location coverage and times. As the booking systems are different I was told to read my booking confirmation. I wanted to confirm the meet up location as we were outside of the stated zone. The customer service response kept referring me back to the TripAdvisor message centre. The customer service responder was rude messaging me to stop asking questions, and even sent a rude voice message telling me to stop messaging and it was my fault for not being able to use the message centre. I had contacted TripAdvisor helpline on 3 occasions the previous day to confirm details and pick/location which was note responded back to. There is very confusing and conflicting information if booked via TripAdvisor or directly. Booking via TripAdvisor includes hotel/accommodation pick up even outside of the stated zone on the Banana Joe website. We found this out to our own Taxi cost on the morning of our trip while we were waiting at one of the 2 meeting points while the tour bus was enroute to pick us up. Lesson of the tour is (exact same tour if booked via TripAdvisor or tour operator website) excellent same tour and experience. It was cheaper to book with TripAdvisor than directly with the tour operator. If booked via TripAdvisor do not call or message the tour operator number provided in the contacts page as I experienced a rude and unhelpful member of staff. They customer service responders needs some retraining pr what is good customer service that reflects on the brand, as I nearly cancelled my tour.

DO NOT CHOOSE!! TERRIBLE LOCAL OPERATOR. We booked the trip on viator and tried to confirm the time with the operator, and only later realized the time is only available the day before the trip, which our time slot is 1pm and we needed to head out to the airport by 7pm for our 9pm flight. The trip time on the page is marked as 3 hours so we thought even 1pm pickup should be alright so we stood by 1pm. HOWEVER, at 1:15 the driver called and told us he made a mistake in the pickup and needs us to wait another hour before picking up, and we asked what the dropoff time would be when we come back and he said it would be 7pm, so we decided not to risk it and cancel it. Then the seller marked us as NO SHOW and refused any refund. Terrible experience, do not book with them!! 1. No time confirmation until on the day before the trip. 2. Very inaccurate web description of duration 3 hours. 3. Significant delay in pickup time and messed up our schedule. 4. Bad customer service of no communication no refund. Do not waste your money with them!!

Amazing tour with really nice people. It was very informational and the guides were funny too and cracked some jokes. The entire thing lasts about 4 hours and is something I strongly recommend!

Christian was very knowledgeable about the Everglades, Miami, and music. He arrived on time and provided an excellent experience. The airboat ride was beautiful and worth every penny. ❤️

Wow, fantastic trip! Collected from our front door, well sign written bus! Hagen a thorough and thoughtful driver, expert! Fast service well timed (go on the earlier tour)! A highlight of our Miami stay sincere thank you! Mum and two boys 7 and 14, NZ.

Pick up at the hotel. Transportation with Hagen, a very knowledgeable and nice guy who told us a lot about the tour and alligators, crocodiles and other animals in the Everglades. Good boat tour with a knowledgeable guide, we did see two aligators even though just from a distance, but also so a lot of nature landscapes and some nice birds. Short but interesting show with the aligators at the centre, including risky activities by the volunteer performers.

A fantastic experience & Chris the tour guide was fantastic at his job. His pre briefing with printed artefacts during our trip to the Everglades was extremely informative during the actual tour.

Adam_K

Really fun time with a great group. Didn't see a lot of alligators but we went later in the day. Better time would be morning. Make sure if you go you have Dillon for a Capitan. Dude is an awesome guide / Captain!!

Hooper_T

We declined to go because when booked they said they would pick us up from the hotel and then sent a text or email saying we had to come to the pickup and we said no. I called to cancel but got the runaround and I am just gonna dispute the charge

A fabulous experience- from getting onto the (air conditioned) minibus at our hotel - to being dropped off at the Bayside marketplace as requested by us and another couple on the trip. Christian from Venezuela was the best host & driver! Full of information and humour he entertained us all the way to the Everglades centre - and back again. With laminated photos and educational aids he explained everything about the nature reserve- what we would see and do, photos of all the types of birds, alligators and crocodiles and how the ecosystem is evolving. Really well worth the cost it’s a “must” trip if you are in Miami.
