We took this trip on Sunday, December 22, 2019. It was a little confusing to find the pick up location at the Torch of Friendship area. There is a parking ramp in the area. Once we located this roadside monument, we found the bus and driver. He immediately welcomed us and offered water to all. We drove for approximately 30 minutes while our driver pointed out highlights along the route. Once at the Everglades, we were given ear plugs and lined up for our turn on the boats. No waiting, we immediately boarded and headed out. We were please to see many gators and birds. The air boat driver gave us an exciting ride as well. The actual length of the ride is about 20 minutes. Next we attended a "show" seeing some gators and other animals up close. The tour ends with an opportunity to hold a small gator and get your photo taken for a fee. There is a gift shop and snack bar. Driver returns you to the starting point.
