I rented a well-used bicycle and rode the mostly flat nature trail. I saw countless alligators, turtles, birds of all kinds. Its an amazing place to see wildlife up close with no barriers. You could literally walk over and touch if it was allowed (not allowed to touch the animals. Besides, you could lose an arm).
Been there a couple of years ago, and it was great. The boat ride was awesome. We saw alligators and birds coming to the boat. If birds know whats good, you can trust them...I can recommend the boat tour.Only thing is it was hard to find because there is no sign.
This was awesome!! highly recommended. It didnt feel like you were on some Disney tour where the wildlife is mechanical. Our guide told us about his hobby hunting pythons in the everglades for the hunting and fishing dept. and gave us some great facts along the way to see a couple gators he tracks and a few of the birds he has made friends with. keep the cruise control on past the tourist traps you pass getting to this tour. you wont be sorry.
We had a blast taking the airboat tour. It was fun and very informative. Afterwards they offer a presentation showing different gators and answering questions. You can really tell these people are passionate about what they do and they really enjoy it. It also isnt very expensive so I highly recommend this!!
I have been twice both times with Captain Steve. He is a great captain and an expert on everything about the Everglades. He answers every question thoughtfully and his passion for the Everglades and conservation shows.I recommend going on an outing with Everglades Nature Tours to everyone. It is so beautiful and I learned so much
This family of 4 had a great time on this 1.5 hour semi-private tour with Lorenzo. We learned a great deal about the river, and the flora, fauna, and indigenous people of the Everglades region. This afternoon involved all 5 senses and kept my 6.5 year old son (who loves video games) entertained and interested throughout.
Lifelong dream and 4 gators later, not too bad of a tour. Not what I assumed as well. The reception person can use a little more excitement for having a job versus a lot of others. Just saying.
Do NOT book with this company! I paid for a private tour online and there was a glitch. I called immediately to get it fixed or get my money back but nobody answered. Over the course of the next week, I called, left messages, emailed multiple times, this company cannot be reached. I had to call my bank to dispute the transaction. Book with any other company. If there’s any issues, you obviously can’t get ahold of anyone at this company nor will they respond back.
Great time! Smash the Like button if this helps you!There is a 15 mile bike/hike paved trail. Listen to the ranger, good stuff. Consider the day you go... This is the Everglades, there is little shade! As in VERY little shade!The animals are all mostly out and about. Of course, this includes the animals you might not like, for example, the mosquitos! Those are definitely not on my Like list.There really isnt much to do here though. Trying to entertain the kids? Good luck! haha.Safe area though.Consider bringing your own food to eat. There is limited food available. Bring everything you might want for the day. Water. Food. Fruits. Snacks. Whatever you want. Dont expect there is a commissary there for you!
12 Jan 19. Took a semi private airboat tour with Lorenzo, great pilot, informative, patient and passionate. Then in the afternoon I took a wet walk with Nicole (6 people), which was again great, a passionate lady with knowledge and great delivery skills. Well run small organisation that delivered on its sales pitch. Not a mass tourism experience. Thank you 👍👍
The tour was quite the experience! Only two boats, very samall private groups. You can turn back whenever you want to, without annoying anyone. No shop or money grabs like at the commercial places. The guide we had was very natural, he was very passionate about nature and the everglades, held little presentations from time to time which were very intriguing. Lots of birds, turtles, baby and fully grown alligators and a ton of fish. With a bit of luck you get to see some snakes and lots of frogs too. We had a blast on the boat. You wont just see, but also feel, feed and even taste the everglades if you are brave enough. Worth every penny!
Excellent 90min semi personal tour, ie on airboat for 8 not 28! Saw plenty of wildlife, had a few thrilling sections at speed and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Many thanks to our excellent guide Steve. Easy to find but not so easy to get back to Miami if you arrive by Uber but got a lift with another group back to the Ranger Post a few miles back down the road and they were more than happy to call us a cab.
Great tour. Well priced tour that gave the experience we were after. Tour was about 40 mins with multiple stops to present information. We really liked it.
Steve (our guide) and Everglades Nature Tours was a highlight of our South Florida trip. The tour was 90 minutes long, and Steve was very knowledgeable of the history and make-up of the Everglades. The alligators werent out in full-force, so Steve went the extra mile in making sure we saw one. Definitely recommend!
This was a fantastic experience. Loved every minute. Lorenzo was our guide and he was outstanding. He was attentive and helpful; providing outstanding customer service. He also was very skilled with the airboat. But what really stood out was his knowledge and affinity to the environment. He knew the area like the back of his hand and was able to have us meet some of his friends including some locate birds and an alligator that would come to meet him. It was great. Please make sure to check them out if you are looking for an intimate nature experience where you come away learning a lot!
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Miami. I dont even know where to start now wonderful it was. It was very personal and very educational. Our guide was so great and you could just feel his love of the Everglades. Meeting his totally wild but friendly friends was truly amazing. The boat seats a maximum of 6 so it is very interactive and you definitely can have all your questions answered. Driving back into town we passed all the larger tour companies with their large boats and huge lines and were so thankful we chose ENT. Do yourself a favor and choose this smaller, wonderful company to tour the Glades. You wont be sorry!
FRAUDS!!They are big time Frauds. They took advantage of Covid and never returned the money of their customers who canceled their travel plans due to COVID. My friends and I are among the people whom they scammed.
This is a small company. There is only room for nine people on the boat so its a great experience! Our guide was so engaging and informative. He knows the area, the animals and the habitat and is good with his guests.I would highly recommend!
You have to wait outside a construction zone to be lead past it to a small boat dock. There is no office, sitting area, or restrooms. The first lady we dealt with was very unfriendly. We where unaware that you had to drive your own car past the construction to the dock. We took an Uber and got dropped off where we were told to wait. It sounded like we would get on a shuttle to the actual spot but that is not the case. The guy that did the boat tour was very nice though. They are small boats, one holds 6 and the other holds 5.At the end of the day go somewhere with an office and better parking.
Really appreciated our ride that turned from semi private to private as there was only me and my bf! The guys were really great, explaining us all about the Everglades and why it’s important to keep it safe and clean. Saw some alligators- dont mistake them for crocodiles ;)
This was our first trip to the Everglades and it is one that will not be forgotten. The guides were very knowledgable and friendly and made us feel very comfortable from the start. We really appreciated the fact that this tour was informative/educational as well as being able to see a mixture of wildlife. The 1hr tour was almost not long enough but we will be back!
Im so glad we booked a tour with Everglades Nature Tours rather than one of companies with the huge boats. This smaller tour was so amazing -- only six of us on the semi-private tour! Our tour guide knew every inch of the place -- where the alligators are, even had the birds landing on our boat and hands. Dont look anywhere else -- book your tour here!!!!
I would like to thank Nature Tours for having given me and my family a unique experience. All the staff are very nice and we see that they really like the work they do and they are very fond of the Everglades. They gave us a detailed explanation of the place and nature of the Everglades. I dont know the other tours. I chose Nature Tours for the ratings given by others and I must say that I am fully satisfied. I could not ask better. Thank you
Want really a your but a ride. Pretty expensive and our Captain didnt say much unless we asked questions. For the money, it would be better to take the group ride for 30 min. Press was private and 90 min. There boat he was on want working great so we had to switch boats and just sat. They gave maybe 10 extra min but should have been 20 mom according to the captain that brought the other boat. He just didnt teach us much about the Everglades.
Do NOT go on a tour through this company. They don’t carry insurance on all their boats or captains. In February, 7 of us passengers were thrown off of the boat into the swamp because the captain was going way too fast. When we went to recover medical bills Etc. We found out they didn’t have coverage and now we’re stuck with high medical bills. We gave them a chance to make it right and they chose not to.
Loved our tour of the Everglades! We had a great time learning about the environment and animals in the Everglades. We also had fun just riding on the airboat. Being on a smaller boat with more attention made all the difference to us!
Great tour with a great guide! Enjoyed a semi-private tour which included a 60min ride. We saw lots of gators, birds and fishes and learned a lot about the everglades and its nature. Totally worth it!
We booked this trip last min on a Sunday afternoon, we had captain Dave. It was a very small private group, it was perfect! I was a little worried when we pulled into a dirt parking lot and followed a guide to another dirt lot, we parked in front of the boat, hopped on and left. It was not a big place with fancy shows, and a bunch of crowds. This tour was personal, it was interactive, and felt very safe. We had a blast! We were able to view loads of wild life and the captain was very knowledgeable! I would recommend it for sure!
Very good tour, the tour guide knew the everglades by heart and we could feel it. And he was really taking care of the safety of his client, we did the tour and at some point a storm started with rain and lighting, our guide immediatly took the good decision to come back to a safe place. Anyway we did have the time to ear a lot about the everglades from him and a lot of very interesting stories.
What an outstanding experience!!If you’re going to do an Everglades tour, do it the right way and go here. Our guide Steve was excellent and knowledgeable. It was a wonderful hour and a half and we saw tons of gators and birds.Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat.
The ride through the Everglades was beautiful, fun and so interesting. Our driver/guide was thorough and very knowledgeable about the area. He was able to answer all our questions about the Everglades, where they originate, how they have evolved, the animals that inhabit the area, the invasive plants and animals and the harm they produce and probably 100 other facts about the area.This is something everyone of any age should do if you have the opportunity.
Tour was good but we didnt see a whole lot of critters! Dont know whether it was the time of day or time of year but it seemed quiet out there in the afternoon.
Awesome! Captain Ozzy was great and very educated on the Everglades and it’s history. Would recommend to everyone!
We could not stop talking about our tour with Lorenzo. He literally had the birds and fish come rite up to the boat. He let us hand the birds, and was so knowledgeable about the Everglades. He knew where the alligators were, we saw them up close. I highly recommend this tour and it was semi private . One of the coolest things weve ever done.
This was hands down a really cool experience! My husband and I had the pleasure of having captain Steve for our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and showed us the heart of the Everglades! I would highly recommend these guys!!!!
We had a fantastic experience with Everglades Nature Tours. We drove past sever air boat tour companies to get the Everglades Nature Tours and it was worth the extra drive. The boats are smaller so the tour is more presonal. Our guide, Lorenzo, was very knowledgable, professional, and friendly. I highly recommend Everglades Nature Tours!
There are no negatives about this experience. Its easy to find considering. Our guide (Lorenzo) was brilliant, he really knew his stuff and was really friendly. All the staff are too.Very easy and convenient setup. Its a great opportunity to see terrapins, gators, birds of prey and so much more.Get onboard!!
Wow these guys are good and were so informative about the Eco system of the Everglades. These men are the real crocodile dudes of Miami.An unforgettable experience. Thank you.
The everglades were so beautiful and it was interesting learning about the facts our tour guide Ozzie knew. He was very funny and the ride was so smooth it was an amazing feeling. We were able to get close to some alligators and learn about other wildlife I would totally recommend this.
Fantastic tour, lovely and knowledgeable staff. Beat all expectations! Beautiful place. No phone signal so pre arrange a lift or drive!
This tour was amazing - in so many ways.So I accidentally booked the tour for the wrong date. When I called them, they were very helpful and quickly offered me an other date.We met a very friendly employee at the meeting point who lead us to the boat. Our guide Lorenzo was great! He explained us so much about the animals, vegetation and showed us caimans, birds, turtles, fishes etc. We were only 6 people (including our guide) which was great because it felt very private and we could ask Lorenzo anything. You could really notice his passion for the nature. We definitely recommend this tour.
Such a great time! Lolo was a great guide and fun to be around. The tour was excellent!
Do not hesitate to spend a few extra dollars for this tour, its not one of those 30 seaters with a shield in front so you cant see, its a small intimate airboat, educational, and you most likely with get to see something exciting. I absolutely loved our 90 minute tour with Lorenzo, he was great, very knowledgeable with plenty explanation about the river and the things that live in it.
Great experience! Took a one hour airboat tour and our guide was very knowledgeable and stopped at some great spots for us to see wildlife and to teach us a bit about the everglades themselves. Saw two gators too! Would definitely recommend.
Weve booked a private tour for an hour, good price comparing to other companies. It is a very professional company, great guide, even an app to help us find the exact location. A few weeks later we received photos of our tour, for free! I would certainly recommend this company.
No frills - fun 90 min tour. Super chill yet our group of 8 had a great time and saw everything we had anticipated. Great guys with a good knowledge of the glades.
The tour was an amazing experience and a perfect mix of fun driving, interesting facts of the Everglades and a lot of wildlife.Our guide had extensive knowledge and a humorous nature.
It was great fun for the whole family... We got to see Alligators and also the show after the air boar ride was very informational
Captain baby face is an excellent tour guide!!!
Amazing customer service - my booking was cut to only half hour due to weather conditions and I was promptly refunded. Will book again next time in Miami
Semi private tour with this place is the way to go over a boat with twenty people and only 30 minutes on the Everglades. We did an 1 1/2 hr tour and it was worth the extra money. Staff was friendly and met us at the gate so we didn’t get lost. Airboat driver was funny and answered ever question we had. He was able to get us close to several alligators and was able to call birds to the boat for up close pictures.
Wonderful excursion....Ozzy our tour guide and captain is as knowledgeable as they come.Home grown as a Everglades native his knowledge and stewardship of the land was impressive..The ride itself was so cool very smooth,think of a bug skittering across a pond that’s the airboat experience...A Must Do....
Great airboat tour with Captain Steve. He was clearly passionate and knowledgeable about the Everglades. I would definitely come again.
Awesome tours, dont be fooled by lack of a building. These guys give you your moneys worth. Went for the hour and a half tour. It was awesome and very educational. A couple on our boat had been on a tour from one of the big name tour companies and said this tour beat it hands down.Definately recommend to anyone. Lorenzo was our guide and was awesome!!!
We spent an amazing hour with Everglades Nature Tours! I have booked 5places for a semi-private airboat tour and we had the surprise to have the boat for our own! Our guide was great, take the time to explain the eco-system of the area, stories of the Everglades! We met the animals out there too! We had some high speed sessions, lots of fun! We highly recommend them! Better to pay a little extra and have a great time much better than all the other touristic tours around! Thank you so much for having us!
This has been a blast. Not only have the guys given us a great ride on the airboats, they knew the area, the plants and some of the wildlife on a firstname basis. Awesome is most family friendly word I can find. I can only recommend them. Thanks for an unforgettable vacation day.
We loved our tour, so knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend.
This was an amazing tour! Lawrence the bird man was the best guide ever!!!! As I drove past all of the other tours where there were twenty people in a boat, I was so excited for this small tour!!!
Hard to see out the front window- needs to be replaced
Everglades is one of the most serene places Ive ever visited, although I may be biased because I live in Miami, but there is so much life everywhere, one of the few places where all the stars are visible at night time, the forests are never silent.
Nice people doing what they love and sharing it with you. You cant ask for more.
An excellent adventure. Capt. Chad was very informative of the Everglades. Love that they care about the ecology of the Everglades. The animals were beautiful, birds, dragon flies, turtles, and of course the alligators.
Thank you Dave for the great experience on your airboat.. was our first time on such a boat. next time we‘ll find an alligator :-)Regards from SwitzerlandPatrick & Mislav
Must say it was AMAZING, fun and so informative!! We enjoyed visiting with the young man who was the greeter and led us to the airboat. Our Captain was Dave. He was a wealth of information ; taught us so much about the Everglades including the eco system, sounds, as well as wildlife species including blue heron, beautiful indigenous birds and gators. He was quite witty as well!!! We experienced something once in a lifetime. We even had quite a storm! (which he offered to take us back) but we had rain gear. The beginning call we made and spoke to the most helpful lady who answered the phone and made several phone calls back to us, just made this experience perfect!! Not super touristy either, please feel free to contact me if you have questions . Thanks to yall . Back home in Texas. The Westphals
Had a great time my son loved it
Great people. They dont have a office here so you have to go further. Drive straight when you see S333
Excellent guide, fun adventure, beautiful part of nature. Beware, there is NO cell service out there to call Lyft or Uber!
Excellent! Tour guide was amazing and super informative and fun!
A wonderful tour of the Everglades, by the most knowledgeable, friendly guide.
Not much bang for the buck. Saw 2 alligators in an hour long trip. Pretty lame little alligator demonstration. Not shy about asking for tips though.
Jack and Daniel are too good to pass on.
It was a great experince.
Good people that love what they do
I took Passengers there. They had nothing but great things to say. 🐊🐊
Tour guide is awesome and fearless!
Great place to visit
Truly enjoyed this tour.
Favorite place to see gators
Fantastic tour and guide!
First class operation!
Fun and Informative.
Dont miss it. Ask for Capt. Larry.
Wonderful tour
Super great tour!!!
GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!
