Honest take
Reviews tell a different story: 3.2 on average from nearly 1,000 people, one of the lowest scores among Everglades tours on our site. Expect a big group and a no-frills day. For about $30 more, the small-group van tour has a much better record. If price is all that matters, it gets you there.

There are two departures a day, at 9am and 2pm. Check in 30 minutes before.
