I would highly recommend this experience while you are in Miami. Albert was a great guide and we had a lot of communication during set up with any questions I emailed them. My son had a blast sitting by himself all the way on top (he's 7). We saw herons, egrets, gators, baby gators, and beautiful scenery. Even if you don't get to see the gators the ride itself through beautiful territory is well worth it. My husband took many great nature pics. We will probably do this trip again when we come back.
