The location is about 35 minutes (26 miles) from downtown. Fabio is the driver. He was flexible to pick us up from our hotel (Hilton Miami Downtown) instead of the pick-up location (Holiday Inn). Even though it's only 1 mile away, but it would have been a hassle for us. It's also true for the drop-off too. We asked him to drop us off at the Bayside Marketplace, so we could continue with our next tour (Celebrities Homes Cruise).
The Airboat tour itself was a blast. We encountered alligators twice. The 1st one was even approaching us by my side of the boat. My heart was pounding and wondering if it would jump out of the water:

The show with Crocodile, Alligator, Kings Snake was very entertaining and educational. You can also get a picture with baby gator. Unfortunately, you can't touch them.
It's highly recommended thing-to-do in Miami..!
