We did Speedy's. It's at Everglades City. We enjoyed the ride, through proper mangrove swamps, however we only saw one alligator. The captain though gave us a handwritten map with details to show where we would find lots of gators and it was just 5 miles towards Miami from Everglades city. I've attached the map. Have a look on google earth and type in HP Williams Wayside. It's a wide dirt track which runs for approx 16 miles. There's a waterway that runs alongside the track and there are lots and lots of gators in and out of the water, just stay in your car. There's also a car park at the start of the track - I think there are toilets? There's a boardwalk here and you can see gators and turtles here also. The guy at Speedy's also said we may see bears and the Florida panther but we didn't see them, however we did hear a panther! We'd stopped the car to have a closer look at the gators, there were several other cars stopped also. We heard this strange sound coming from behind and no one knew what it was. I googled the sound of a florida panther when we got back to our hotel and it was definitely a panther.


If you're looking for other things to see/do we plan on visiting the smallest post office in USA, it's close by. It was closed the day we went though. My dad loves a postcard and I know he'd love one posted from there! We visited Smallwood Store, we had half hour to kill before our airboat ride. Sorry, I haven't looked at your countdown so depending on when you go there's meant to be a great place for crabs in Everglade City but it's only open when it's Stone Crab season.
