Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join the airboat ride? Thinking of taking my 8-year-old nephew!

A: There isn’t a strict age limit, but kids of all ages can join as long as they’re accompanied by an adult. Just make sure he’s comfortable with the ride since it can get pretty bumpy at times! They do provide life vests for smaller kids too, which is a plus.

Q: What do you wear for the airboat tour? Is it super muddy or wet?

A: Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a little damp. Closed-toe shoes are best since you’ll be walking around the wildlife zoo too. Bring a light jacket if it’s chilly in the morning—temps can change pretty fast out there!

Q: Can I reschedule if my plans change last minute? What’s the policy like?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Big Bus Tours allows changes up to 24 hours before your trip without a fee. Just make sure to call their customer service to get everything sorted. It’s super flexible, which is great!

Just got back from the Everglades airboat tour—so much fun!

I did the Everglades airboat tour last weekend and it was a blast! The ride was so thrilling and we saw a ton of alligators and birds. The baby alligator experience was the highlight for me—who knew I’d get to hold one? It’s definitely something I’d recommend as a gift, especially for wildlife lovers. The bus ride from Miami was comfy too, which made it even better!

Thinking of gifting the Everglades experience—any thoughts?

I’m considering this Everglades airboat tour for my boyfriend’s birthday. He loves nature and adventure! Just want to know if it’s worth the price and if anyone had a particularly good or bad experience. What’s the food like at The Gator Grill?
