Everglades National Park Day Cruises

Amazing, we saw so much wildlife, I had no idea how diverse the Everglades are, our guide was very knowledgeable.

My sister and I had a wonderful time on this tour! Our National Park Tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable. He (Bobby?) kept his 'eye on the sky' as foul weather was suspect, while maximizing our wildlife sightings. And he waited until he was certain before identifying a specific bird species, or water creature. He slowed/turned the boat to ensure every passenger was given an opportunity, shared the positives and challenges of the Everglades and the various regions/habitats, and entertained specific questions while ensuring the safety of our tour. We were rained upon and did not care! Mosquitos were manageable out on the water (plus there was a nice breeze). We would highly recommend! Downsides? He was strictly speaking (as advertised) so a couple of guests were a bit lost, and he did not introduce the "guide in training" who was on the boat with us which I thought was a bit odd since she was wearing official NP uniform.

We very much enjoyed the boat tour. Our guide, Bobby, was passionate about the Everglades, and it showed. We found him very interesting, and also got to see crocodiles, orchids, ibis, egrets, and many more species of trees and birds. A great tour!

Really enjoyed the trip, and lucky to see all the key creatures. The trip is definitely worth the $100 for the couple, but the $235 entry fee to the park makes it expensive and probably not worthwhile. The good thing is the park entry is valid for a week, so would advise sharing that cost across friends and then definitely worth it.

When you get to the Flamingo Tour Area the first thing you need to know is even if you have the virtual voucher you need wrist bands for your entire party. The "booth" for that is behind the pink general store. Also, if you are going in the heat of summer... BUG SPRAY! I CANNOT stress that enough! The general has snacks and souvenirs so check it out! The guides are very knowledgeable and are very informative. They are also more than willing to answer any questions you may have. During our tour we saw different species of birds, we saw sharks, manatees, and salt water crocodiles. There are also varying plant species that you will learn about should you choose this excursion. I would do this tour again; however, I would prefer a cooler time of the year!

Capt. Nick was great. Our tour guide Finn was very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the trip.

Excellent way to see the southern end of Everglades National Park. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw many birds, some snakes, and crocks.

The boat trip was excellent. The tour guide actively sought out and identified wildlife and plants on the trip. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions in detail. He also described the entire environment of the Everglades and the challenges it faces.

Great guided boat tour of the backwater in Flamingo in Everglades National Park. Admission is reasonable if you have a NPS park pass, otherwise a bit pricey to get into the park and take the boat tour. Saw a lot of crocodiles and birds, along with a few manatees.

This was a Great experience!!!! The boat is nice and easy for tourists, the Captain was great and John was our Biologist and he was very knowledgeable and fun!! We saw so much wildlife!!!! It was all just incredible!!

John our guide was informative and humorous. However a fact was wrong and needs correction . In 1979 I along with my brother camped at the flamingo campground for 10 days. I have photos of flamingos and roseate spoonbills AT flamingo . He stated there had been no flamingo s in the area for over 100 years . Verify facts before giving tours . Just an FYI. Thanks Dan James

Really enjoyed this boat tour. You start out in a canal and then out into a Bay Area. We saw crocs, birds, manatees. Very well run business. There is a little store and food truck available for food and drinks. There is no cell service in this area but there is WiFi available.

Great morning on the water. Crew was efficient and pleasant.

Very nice captan and mate. Patient with questions from the public. Did a good job of adding some humor.

Captain Nick and first mate Mitch were awesome!! Mitch’s voice is so calming. We got to see a good amount of birds, American crocodiles, some dolphins, and learn more about nature around us. Food is not permitted, but any non-alcoholic drink is! Bring plenty of it!
