Absolute nightmare scheduling something through Viator. They send me the ticket once I show up after driving 6 hours and paying two nights to stay in hotel owner told me it's overbooked luckily he called his buddy and he stepped in. for owner and his business five stars for Viator zero Stars .do yourself favor go to the owner's page and schedule your visit.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Good afternoon sir, I am so incredibly sorry for the inconvenience that occurred. Viator has a broken connection to my booking company and is currently allowing customers to book tours and we have no idea that the Customers book. I am looking every morning to reach out to any new potential customers to advise. I am working as fast as I can to get this problem fixed with viator. I am sincerely sorry as I always ensure my business run smoothly and that my customers have a great experience from start to finish!

Personal Everglades tour

Melanie_S, Mar 2024

Wow - what an experience, it was amazing. Captain Bill was brilliant. Friendly and very knowledgable. 4 friends booked this for a private tour and it was a fantastic personal experience for us all. Would definitely recommend and a must if you are visiting Miami/Fort Lauderdale. We saw Alligators, turtles, various birds - just brilliant!!

Best two hours you can spend in FL.

Michelle_P, Feb 2024

It was fascinating to be gliding across the grasses and water in the boat! We love to see wild life and we were lucky enough to see three alligators and many birds.
