“The bus was a 52-seater, so price of $100 seemed high for just the transport + airboat (which is around $35). Tour was timely and did not drop us off at pickup point (Collins Ave) - instead it dropped us on Washington Ave. The airboat tour was fantastic/ sit in the front row. We saw 5 alligators. The gator show was great and taking pic with the baby gator in hand was exciting”
