Tour for those who want to leave the commercial scheme to see animals in everglades. It's to know the ecosystem. - The walk was excellent.
Since it was Monday, there was only our reservation. She was honored with mastery.
It is a calm and educational walk. Lots of information about the ecosystem, fauna, flora. Maybe for the hour, we took the walks at 1:00, and for the fiery heat, we saw only a few birds. The captain and crew were very friendly and helpful.
The boat was in excellent condition, very clean, neat. Only the seats I found tough and uncomfortable. There is no boarding Service. It is only allowed to bring water to drink. No other foods or drinks.

BEST Everglades Back Country Boat ride! - Captain Marty and Naturalist Adam were very knowledgeable and personable. They made sure to answer every question and back the boat up if someone missed a wildlife sighting. We saw numerous birds and crocs!

Flamingo Everglades Boat Tours - OUTSTANDING boat tour when visiting the Everglades - Located way down in the Flamingo section of Everglades National Park, Flamingo Adventures Boat Tours is an OUTSTANDING way to see some of the back channels and open bay waters of the Everglades. There’s LOTS of wildlife (our group saw: Anhinga birds, a hawk, & numerous crocodiles as well as water views of exotic plants and trees).
The boat tour (shaded, open, flat boat) is 1.5 hours. Both the boat captain and tour guide were highly informative, always helpful, & very entertaining (Thank you Keon!!).
When visiting Everglades National Park (down in the Flamingo area), I would VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Flamingo Adventure Boat tours!!

Good experience - Seeing the unique wildlife of the Florida Everglades was exciting, as well as the unique flora of the region. Very well explained by the cheerful tour guide. Worth an hour and a half.

Guide Was Very Knowledgeable - The guide for this tour was very knowledgeable and experienced. We didn't see a great deal of wildlife on the tour, but that is always going to be hit and miss.Most of the tour was spent in the canal and there was a bit of time in a lake.
Best part of the experience was walking over to the boat ramp after the tour to see numerous manatees.

Good in the rain - The tour was worth our time even though it was raining and we got wet. Can't blame the tour operator for the weather. Extra added to meet minimum character count.

A Disappointing Boat Ride - This 90-minutes boat ride does not take you deep into the Everglades back country or wilderness. Much of the time is spent in the Buttonwood Canal and crossing Coot Bay. The boat turns back soon after entering Whitewater Bay. The naturalist for our tour was knowledgeable and tried hard to make the ride interesting, but there just wasn't that much to see. If you want to see lots of alligators and water birds, I suggest visiting Shark Valley and walking or cycling along the tram path. We passed several kayakers in the Buttonwood Canal that were working hard to make progress against the wind. This isn't a great place to kayak. I think that they would've been happier kayaking in one of the ponds along the road to Flamingo.
