The Boat tour was a highlight of our Miami trip! We chose this option instead of an airboat and were so glad we did - the airboats are very loud (need earplugs) and you cannot take them into certain areas of the Everglades because of that noise pollution. This was a small, quiet boat that allowed us to get close to the wildlife and enjoy them without scaring them.
We got to observe many different birds nesting including a bald eagle, see mangrove forests, get off the boat to take a walk along a quiet strip of sand, and have the amazing experience of seeing 3 dolphins play along with us by chasing the boat! The tour guide was a great captain, very knowledgeable about the wildlife and Everglades, and cared about taking care of the natural habitat! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience the Everglades!
