5.00Driver Ronet was informative. He also had a large number of one liners he added to his commentary. The boat ride good, the pilot was informative and willing to answer any questions asked. There was an informative talk about conservation of the alligators.

5.00Ronet Blanc was the bus driver and was very entertaining. Provided heaps of tourism tips of Miami, including restaurants and places of interest. We arrived at Everglades in good time, such an interesting landscape and the alligator’s were out sunbathing, we spotted 8-9 in a couple hours. Worth booking this tour 🙌
