Hi tuggers

My daughter and I are staying in SOBE this summer. We would like to go on a airboat tour through Everglades.

I can find so many offerings, but I dont know which ones are good/bad.

We would prefer a non private tour which lasts around 1-2 hours if possible. If we can go see a gator farm afterwards that would be perfect.

Any recommendations and insights?

Everglades Holiday Park. Go early in the morning and you will see a lot more birds.

Another good thing to consider doing is the glass bottom boat tour of the coral reef at John Pennekamp State Park. It is out of Key Largo. Not that far to drive.

We did a sunset champagne cruise out of Miami and got to see Stiltsville.

You can usually get deals on all of them though Groupon or Living Social.

We went on one right in the park- near the Fort Lauderdale area. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of it.

The there was also a boat ride we took a bit more south of there.

evergladestours.com and evergladesholidaypark.com are the two we've done. Both are good. Don't know anything about the two you mentioned.
