Top Florida Safaris

It was hot out i wasable to put my travel bag af the main area with a lady they had outside cooling for us the staff was everything oriented the captain took us to so many dolphins n a manateethe lady on boat was very informative n great hist everyone was thrilled

The 1-hour 9am airboat trip was great! Beautiful scenery, gator sightings, and many spectacular bird sightings. The animal safari was also fun and I enjoyed the gator demonstration and opportunity to get a selfie with one. All-in-all a great bang for the buck!

Had a great experience! Fernando was amazing. We got to see gators, manatees, and turtles! The music was incredible and overall my friends/family had such a fun experience. Fernando recommended a close barbecue restaurant after and it was also wonderful!!

If you want to have an incredible experience, you should definitely take this tour with Troy! He picked us up at the hotel, making our lives so much easier than schlepping around Key West to get somewhere on time in an unfamiliar city. We headed out in his extremely comfortable (wonderfully air conditioned!!)van. He gave us restaurant tips along the way, pointed out things that the average tourist might not be aware of and shared the fascinating history about the early days of the Keys. We crossed over several bridges as we traveled through the Keys, getting an interesting lesson on the environment and ecosystems of the region. At Bahia Honda State Park, we saw an historic railroad bridge, iguanas (pretty exciting for city people!), and had time to dip our toes into the amazingly warm water of both the Gulf and Atlantic. From there, we went to Deer Key, where deer just wander through the neighborhood (again, pretty thrilling for city people!). We opted to skip the walk on the 7 mile bridge, but driving over it was thrilling. Our final stop was the Blue Hole. It was a quiet, magical place, with birds and other wildlife. After that, we spent the time being driven back to our hotel, chatting and sharing stories about places we’ve been (Troy is a fascinating guy, with some really interesting stories about living in Alaska and the times he’s sailed all over the world). We both really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to everyone!

This tour started at our hotel in downtown Miami (Hilton). Häagen was our driver and tour guide. I got a text via Viator saying they would pick us up at the hotel at 7:30am and he was there at the exact time. He was an excellent driver and guide. Very friendly and helpful. He gave us info on what we were seeing downtown while we picked up other people. We only had 9 people on a Banana Joe tour bus that could have held 18-20. We got to Everglades Holiday Park 30 minutes before our airboat tour was to start, plenty of time for restroom breaks and a quick stop in the gift shop. He picked up our wristbands for the airboat for us and we were #1. He explained how the day would go and that he would be there when the tour was over. The airboat held about 25 people and was covered. Be very careful getting in and out of the boat. You have to duck your head to get in or out and the floor of the boat has ridges that can trip you. We saw 3 gators on the tour which they said was a little low but that’s nature for you. After the tour Haagen was there and handed us the group photo that had been taken before the boat ride. The photo was included in the admission. He told us there was an alligator show next and that we would leave on the bus at 11:45am. The show was a single guy talking about the gators in the little stage/habitat and he spent about 10 minutes interacting with one. Very interesting and at certain times amazing how calm he was and the gator was. After the show we had 20 minutes to use the restroom and/or shop. We boarded the bus at 11:15am and dropped everyone off at their hotels. If you get Haagen as your tour guide you will be very pleased. He is from Germany and has been here 18 years and is very friendly and helpful.

It was great Captain John was awesome as well music, it did go out for a bit, but he fixed it, also did get wet. If that’s what your looking for definitely will an ait more in back of the sea rocket. Id have to say parking is a little crazy, one person was 20 a car next car was 10 dollars an we were told to tell whoever was out there at ticket collect we were on sea rocket, she, was one rude, an two there should have better communication with the resort.

This was the highlight of my recent trip to southern FL! Ryan was a wonderful tour guide with lots of history to back up the natural world we saw around us, and our excursions were so memorable and fun - we were lucky enough to get to see dolphins in the Everglades on the boat cruise! I'd recommend the full day trip for anyone looking to get away from the busyness of the more typical Floridian vacation, and to any lover of nature looking to see wildlife in their natural habitats. Transportation, food, and itinerary are all handled for you and that leaves you just to enjoy and learn!

We took this tour with Captain Don this afternoon. It was me and my girlfriend and we are both 71. Turned out it was just the 2 of us and the experience was amazing. First, the boat is small but there were very comfortable cushioned seats. We stayed dry the entire time. Captain Don was a great guide. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and made short stops along he way to educate us about the birds we saw giving us great details about each one. We mentioned that we went on a shelling tour where our guide, although nice, knew nothing about shells. So Don brought out a special box of shells and told us in detail about each shell and how they were formed. I would highly recommend this tour and hope you get Captain Don as your guide.
