🌿 EVERGLADES & MIAMI – TWO WORLDS, ONE ADVENTURE

Only about an hour separates Miami’s electric pulse from the quiet heart of Florida — the Everglades.
Two worlds that couldn’t be more different, yet fit together perfectly.
City energy on one side, untouched nature on the other.
Experience both, and you begin to understand what Florida truly is.

🌴 MIAMI — A CITY THAT BREATHES IN MOTION

Miami never sleeps.
It moves, glows, and vibrates — all at once.
Between Art Deco façades, palm-lined streets and endless ocean, the city hums with an energy you won’t find anywhere else.
Caribbean flair meets skyline, sunshine meets speed, calm meets chaos.
Every day feels like summer. Every corner tells a new story.

To understand Miami, you have to live it.
The best way? A guided city experience in small groups — with pick-up included and real local insight.

🐊 EVERGLADES — THE WILD HEART OF FLORIDA

Just one hour west of Miami, a different world begins.
A river of grass stretching to the horizon, full of light, water and life.
Here you feel Florida as it once was — raw, quiet, and powerful.

Alligators glide through the water.
Eagles circle above the sawgrass.
Nature takes over the soundtrack.

The Everglades aren’t a swamp — they’re a slow-moving river nearly 100 kilometers wide.
They’ve survived drainage, climate change, and urban expansion for more than a century.
Standing here, you feel how fragile and precious nature truly is.

Our 60-minute airboat ride takes you right into the heart of it.
Up to 49 mph (79 km/h) — wind, water and wilderness blending together.
No scripts, no staged routine.
Our captains live the Everglades.
You ask questions, they tell stories.
Authentic. Close. Unforgettable.

📸 Nature you can feel

Alligators, turtles, exotic birds and snakes — all in their natural habitat.
And yes, you’ll take photos you’ll never forget.
If you want, you can even hold a baby alligator — respectfully, safely, and responsibly.

🏙️ SKYLINE & STORIES

Miami has more than 300 skyscrapers, making it the third-largest skyline in the US — in a city of only about 600,000 residents.
How does that work?
Miami is a crossroads of money, culture, and migration like nowhere else.

In just 90 years, the “Gold Coast” has become one of America’s most populated and diverse regions.
Seven million visitors a year bring art, business, adventure — and take something of Miami with them.

⚡ DOUBLE VALUE. DOUBLE ACTION.

Since 2017, Banana Joe Tours has offered more than any other Miami tour company:

• Real 60-minute airboat rides (not 25 minutes)
• Fastest boats in Miami — up to 79 km/h
• Everglades experts, not prerecorded voices

You’ll understand why this landscape became world famous as the “River of Grass” —
and how it continues to survive against all odds.

🎨 NEIGHBORHOODS WITH SOUL

Wynwood — bold, raw, covered in street art.
Brickell — modern, global, the core of the new skyline.
Coconut Grove — tropical, historic, almost village-like.

Each neighborhood has its own rhythm, its own heartbeat.
Miami isn’t just seen — it’s felt.

🌱 PRESERVATION, NOT FORGETTING

The Everglades are both a symbol and a warning.
From 19th-century drainage to today’s restoration efforts —
every story here is about the push and pull between humans and nature.
Our guides show you how this ecosystem survives — and how you can help protect it.

🕰️ THE FIRST PEOPLE

Long before the skyscrapers, the Tequesta lived here — more than 2,700 years ago.
Their traces remain visible at the Miami Circle, right on Biscayne Bay.
A quiet reminder of how deep Miami’s roots truly go.

🏕️ FROM PICK-UP TO RETURN

Even during the drive to the park, you’ll learn about wildlife, climate and local history.
By the time you arrive, you’ll already feel like a half-Everglades expert.
After the airboat ride and wildlife show, the gift shop offers handmade souvenirs.
Then your ride back — full of impressions, wind in your hair, and a new way of seeing Florida.

🏖️ CLASSICS OF THE COAST

South Beach. Lincoln Road. Española Way. Lummus Park.
These aren’t attractions — they’re icons.
Art Deco hotels, vintage cars, music in the air, salt on your skin.
And at South Pointe Park, the turquoise ocean meets the Miami sun — a view that stays with you.

🚤 WATER, SPEED, ADRENALINE

To really see Miami, you have to hit the water.
Speedboats along Biscayne Bay, past Fisher Island and the world’s largest cruise port.
Or a relaxed boat tour along Millionaire’s Row — homes of celebrities, movie scenes, legends.

Scarface filming locations.
Star mansions.
Stories born overnight that become Miami myths.

🍸 LIFE, FOOD, RHYTHM

From Latin street food to rooftop bars with skyline views —
Miami tastes like culture, music and joy.
Cuban coffee, Caribbean beats, late-night laughter.
The best spots?
Often the ones not on tourist maps.
