“We had an unforgettable experience on the airboat tour through Everglades National Park! The ride itself was thrilling and beautiful – gliding over the water and through the grasslands was a unique adventure. The wildlife show was also a great attraction, very informative and exciting, with a chance to see and learn about amazing animals up close. What truly made this tour special was the honesty and kindness of the staff. We accidentally left our camera behind, and to our great relief, they found it and returned it to us the very next day. We are incredibly grateful for their honesty and help – it’s rare to find such trustworthy…”

“We had a really lovely day on our 3 part day trip, every part of it was great fun. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see any alligators in the mangroves, but this didn’t spoil the hoverboat ride. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the mangrove, birds, animals and insects etc. The bus transport was good too. Next we went on a Miami open top bus tour, the driver and guide were fantastic, told us lots of things about the art deco buildings, and we were lucky to also stop off in Little Havana where we sampled Cuban coffee and the graffiti district of Wynwood…”
