Everglades Small-Group Tour from Miami with Transportation

11.Everglades Small-Group Tour from Miami with Transportation

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,657 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $82

Travel from select Miami Beach and Downtown hotels in a small group of up to 14, usually with a guide such as Antoine or Simona. At Everglades Holiday Park, enjoy a 50 to 60-minute narrated airboat ride, search for alligators and birds, and watch an English-language rescue presentation.

“Its more of a tour to see the everglades. If you are lucky enough to see alligators and wildlife, that is a bonus. We were hoping for a more private tour but there were many boats out at one time which caused captains to have a different route for each boat.”

From Miami: Key West Day Tour by Motor Coach Bus

13.Key West Day Tour by Motor Coach Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 2,483 reviews · from $62

Travel by motor coach from Miami to Key West with an English or Spanish-speaking guide. Cross 43 bridges and 31 islands, then enjoy several hours to visit Hemingway’s House, stroll Duval Street, see the Southernmost Point, or add snorkeling, a glass-bottom boat, or trolley tickets.

“The bus ride was comfortable and as expected. We made one stop for breakfast/ restroom on the way and there was no stop when we returned. Due to heavy traffic in the morning we arrived a bit later in Key West than planned, leaving us with less than 6 hours of free time. If you really want to see and experience the city, then I wouldn’t join any of the water activities as 6 hours are already rather short. We managed to see everything we wanted but had to rush from time to time, which is a bit of a pity. Would recommend a full day in Key West”
