Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been making travel videos for over 15 years about popular and not so popular tourist destinations

the bus was having transmission problems meaning the driver couldn't shift above third gear

I was actually surprised at how thrilling the ride was

I don't know if I would recommend using this tour company again in the future

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“If you have a car, book directly on the Sawgrass Recreation Park website and drive there yourself
โœ“Tie up long hair or put it under a hat for the boat ride
โœ“Use the earplugs provided because it's really loud

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Seeing alligators on the tour โ€” You likely won't see alligators on the boat tour because boats scare them away, but you will see them at the park's pond
Loud noise on the boat โ€” Use the earplugs provided, as it's really loud even with them

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

While in Miami between 2 cruises, (one on Celebrity Cruise Line and one on Royal Caribbean), I took a little excursion to the Sawgrass Recreation Park for an airboat tour and to see the alligators. We used "Miami Tours" in order to get there and back and it was not the smoothest operation, to say the least! But, the boat ride itself was very fun and more thrilling than I was expecting. This is a great family friendly activity for an afternoon in the area, or as a cruise ship excursion if you are in the port of Miami or Fort Lauderdale / Port Everglades. #florida #everglades #airboat Get my NEW BOOK!
