A great tour in any weather!

5.00My sister and I had a wonderful time on this tour! Our National Park Tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable. He (Bobby?) kept his 'eye on the sky' as foul weather was suspect, while maximizing our wildlife sightings. And he waited until he was certain before identifying a specific bird species, or water creature. He slowed/turned the boat to ensure every passenger was given an opportunity, shared the positives and challenges of the Everglades and the various regions/habitats, and entertained specific questions while ensuring the safety of our tour. We were rained upon and did not care! Mosquitos were manageable out on the water (plus there was a nice breeze). We would highly recommend! Downsides? He was strictly speaking (as advertised) so a couple of guests were a bit lost, and he did not introduce the "guide in training" who was on the boat with us which I thought was a bit odd since she was wearing official NP uniform.
Interesting and fun!

5.00We very much enjoyed the boat tour. Our guide, Bobby, was passionate about the Everglades, and it showed. We found him very interesting, and also got to see crocodiles, orchids, ibis, egrets, and many more species of trees and birds. A great tour!
An Informative Adventure

4.00When you get to the Flamingo Tour Area the first thing you need to know is even if you have the virtual voucher you need wrist bands for your entire party. The "booth" for that is behind the pink general store. Also, if you are going in the heat of summer... BUG SPRAY! I CANNOT stress that enough! The general has snacks and souvenirs so check it out! The guides are very knowledgeable and are very informative. They are also more than willing to answer any questions you may have. During our tour we saw different species of birds, we saw sharks, manatees, and salt water crocodiles. There are also varying plant species that you will learn about should you choose this excursion. I would do this tour again; however, I would prefer a cooler time of the year!
Good Experience

4.00Capt. Nick was great. Our tour guide Finn was very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the trip.
Good trip, worth the trip fee but not if you include park entry.

5.00Really enjoyed the trip, and lucky to see all the key creatures. The trip is definitely worth the $100 for the couple, but the $235 entry fee to the park makes it expensive and probably not worthwhile. The good thing is the park entry is valid for a week, so would advise sharing that cost across friends and then definitely worth it.

5.00The boat trip was excellent. The tour guide actively sought out and identified wildlife and plants on the trip. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions in detail. He also described the entire environment of the Everglades and the challenges it faces.
Nice backwater tour of the southern Everglades National Park.

5.00Great guided boat tour of the backwater in Flamingo in Everglades National Park. Admission is reasonable if you have a NPS park pass, otherwise a bit pricey to get into the park and take the boat tour. Saw a lot of crocodiles and birds, along with a few manatees.
The tour was great, but...

5.00The tour was great, but would not recommend booking through viator. Knowledgeable and friendly guide and captain. Saw a lot of animals, including multiple crocodiles and a variety of birds. The downside was when booking kids tickets, viator did not book tickets, just left a note as children under 5 are free. When we arrived they were not on the log and it was a full boat. We were lucky because there were 2 no shows. Book directly through the tour company.
Fun Day!!!
