Fun and hassle free - Ronet was funny, informative and engaging during the ride over to the park. The weather wasn’t the best when we arrived but we still got to see some iguanas, alligators and different birds! A nice way to spend the morning.

Everglades Adventure - From start to finish, my Everglades experience was absolutely amazing. The day began with a comfortable bus tour from the Bus Company, where our guide immediately set the tone with their friendly attitude and impressive knowledge. They shared fascinating facts and stories throughout the journey, making the ride feel easy, relaxing, and far shorter than expected. Once we arrived at the Everglades, the adventure truly came to life. With the help of our guide, we were lucky enough to spot crocodiles in their natural habitat—an unforgettable moment. There was also an engaging and informative talk about alligators, where we learned so much about these incredible creatures. The highlight for me was getting the chance to safely pet a baby alligator, which was both thrilling and surprisingly memorable. Overall, it was a perfect half-day trip—well-organized, educational, and exciting from beginning to end. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore the Everglades in a fun and accessible way.

The best experience! - This is one of the best deals in Miami! You get an hour long bus tour on the Big Bus to the alligator center where you get to see reptile exhibits, pet a baby alligator, explore the gift shop (drinks & snacks reasonably priced!), a free family photo, a pretty long ride on an airboat to see live alligators in the Everglades, and an hour bus ride tour back on the Big Bus. This was a great deal for the amount you get! The airboat ride was also so much fun and we got to see a few alligators in their natural habitat. The description does not do this place justice! You get so much more than included in the description. Helpful hint: meeting point is at Soundside Park! The directions are not very clear on this part. However do not let this deter you from booking because this was one of my favorite activities we did on our trip to Florida!

Brilliant trip to the Everglades - Great tour, would definitely recommend! The pick up spot was easy to get to and we were greeted by the friendly Ronet Blanc who became our 'tour guide' providing information and facts as we drove through miami. When we got to the Everglades, it was seemless, our boat was ready on arrival, we had our photo taken (which we got a free print out of, courtesy of big bus tours) we saw 7 alligators and was given information about them and the other wildlife that lives there. After the boat tour, there was an alligator show which was brilliant and then we got to meet a baby alligator and have a photo with it. The facilities at the Everglades were clean and well maintained- food, toilets and gift shop. Have to shout out Ronet Blanc who was brilliant 👏

Big Bus Tour - The bus tour was great, with very clear explanations. The Everglades boat tour was great too, but a bit short. Ronet Blanc ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
