Florida National Park Boat Tours

We're seeing 2 National Parks in Florida and both of them are best seen via the water.

For Biscayne National Park, it was an easy decision on what tour to do. The National Park service provides the Boca Chita Key boat tours. Each tour lasts approximately three hours and includes opportunities to explore and learn about popular and scenic Boca Chita Key and Biscayne Bay.

For the Everglades, the decision was so much harder due to the number of tours on offer. I started with looking at the National Park run tours from Flamingo but the reviewers on trip adviser were very mixed, it particular, there was a number of comments about how little wildlife was seen.  The main purpose of wanting to take the tour was to see an alligator or two!

I ended up finding this site which compares different tours in the Everglades, not just boat tours but also buggies, walking and kayak tours too. After looking at a few more review websites, we decided on the Buffalo Tiger’s Airboat Tours who have a good reputation of getting people close to the alligators, maybe a little too close looking at some of their videos on YouTube!
