2.00You will spend 2 hours on a bus, ~45 mins in a flimsy boat to glide through plants, if you are seated in the middle you won't get to see anything. You have to look for you own gators and tell the guide who will then tell you that he can't reverse the boat so continues along spewing useless info on trees. Gratuity sign blocks the view of the front (gratuity to look for my own gators and not get to see anything compared to people seated on the sides?). If you have limited time in Miami would HIGHLY suggest you skip this and go to gator excursions in other countries (e.g. Costa Rica).
