This tour picks you up from your Miami hotel between 9 and 10am, drives 30 to 45 minutes to the park and puts you on a 60-minute airboat ride. That's a longer ride than many tours offer. There's also an Express option where you meet the bus at the venue instead.
Honest take
Allow almost six hours, much of it collecting other passengers. Reviews average 3.5 from about 540, and pickup timing is the usual complaint. Taxes are included; food and tips aren't. Pick it for the long airboat ride and door-to-door pickup, not for a polished day.
