Everglades National Park: Tours & Tickets

Everything worked just fine, the meeting point, the tour was fantastic, the captain took us to the best spots and gave a very good lesson about the Everglades and the environment!

We had a truly wonderful day exploring the Everglades with Randi as our amazing guide. It was more than we had hoped for. In fact it was brill, as we got to see manatees which was the highlight for many of us. The variety of wildlife and habitats we saw was incredible and our four strapping teenagers all thoroughly enjoyed the day, despite the early morning call! Randi needs a special mention. Quite simply, she was an amazing guide, knowledgable, informative and shared stories with us, making the long journeys feel shorter than they really were. We all came away from the day with very special memories as well as some beautiful photographs.

The people at the park were great, friendly, and helpful. Captain John was our guide and he did his best to get us to see some alligators, taking us not only out on the lake but down the canal to another area where yes, we say some small gators. The wildlife park was very interesting, but of course in the heat we all were tired, especially the animals. This place really is 'out in the middle of nowhere' which is exactly what we wanted for the wildlife tour. The Chomp House eatery could use some upgrading, in our opinion--the cashier didn't know the difference between a head of iceberg and leaf lettuce, so one of us ended up with a $9 box of iceberg lettuce and dressing. The 'corndog' is really little pigs in blankets, so for $55 for four of us we really didn't get much. I realize it is just a 'fun day out', but I still expect a little better value for money. The local sand hill cranes and peacocks were fun dinner partners, but will snatch your plates from you in a second.

From my initial inquiry to tour completion Everglades Nature Tours and Get Your Guide delivered conspicuously good customer care. What is more, the tour itself would be hard to beat. The guide's skills and knowledge coupled with the boat and staff is hard to match. I have and will continue to recommend this tour. Thank you for a very memorable Everglades experience.

I liked the pick up and drop off service. Also all the drivers and guides were very friendly. The tour was fun. We saw a lot of alligators and enjoyed the cruise along the celebrity houses. Good job!
