About this experience
Escape the city for a classic Everglades morning adventure with convenient shared hotel pickup from select areas in Miami Beach and Downtown Miami. Travel in an air-conditioned van to the Everglades, where you’ll swap streets and skylines for wide-open sawgrass wetlands and wildlife-rich waterways.
Once at the park, hop aboard a shared roofless airboat for a 40-minute ride across shallow waters. Skim through the “River of Grass” and keep watch for local wildlife such as alligators, turtles, and wading birds as your captain navigates the natural channels. Ear protection is provided for comfort during the ride.
After the airboat tour, continue your visit at the on-site animal area with an alligator and reptile exhibit and educational presentations. Take time to learn more about Florida’s native species, snap photos, and explore the facilities before meeting back up for the return transfer.
This shared experience is designed to be easy and efficient where you enjoy the Everglades.
