The boat tour was fantastic! Captain Tina was brilliant and we were lucky to see Vultures, get super close to an alligator and feed some Purple Gallinule! It was really nice to glide around the Everglades on the boat and enjoy the scenery, we did here a few people saying they didn’t see anything on their trip so it can be hit or miss! You do get a free picture taken on the dock before boarding the boat! The bus ride was nothing special, check in at the big bus tour stop and they give you your wristband, gets you there and back and didn’t really have any interaction with the driver, was a tad confusing with no instructions on arrival where to go so we grabbed an ice coffee and sandwich from the gator cafe whilst we waited to be called. About 45 mins out on the glades and then wwaiting for the alligator show, it was super super hot and barely any cover so deffinately recommend a hatJust enough time to get in a quick walk around the gift shop and a bathroom break before back on the bus.

Fantastic experience on the Everglades tour with David as the Big Bus tour guide! Very clear communications and keeping us on schedule. The guides at the park for the boat tour and the show are particularly engaging and enthusiastic. The gave very thorough presentations giving us a good glimpse of magnificent mother nature. Lastly, the staff at the alligator show is not technically employed by the park due to the dangerous nature of their work - to the extent you are able to afford a greater tip, do remember to bring sufficient cash.

A great experience. :-) our guide drove Estate for a quarter of an hour longer so we could see an alligator. Maybe just as a supplement. The photo with the baby alligator was not included as described but was a photo before the tour. The photo cost an extra $10.
