What you can expect

Skim through dense marshes and isolated swamps in a high-powered airboat, watch an educational show with snapping alligators, and enjoy a scenic ride from Miami's sun-soaked beaches to the wildlife-rich landscapes of Everglades National Park on this half-day tour.

Kick off your day as you climb aboard a comfortable tour bus in city centre Miami. Grab a window seat and settle in as your driver heads to the Florida's southwestern tip. Roll past seaside towns and watch as homes and businesses are replaced with dense mangrove forests.

Arrive at the gates of Everglades National Park and meet up with your guide for the day's exhilarating airboat adventure. Strap into your seat as they fire up the engine and the massive fan propeller roars to life. With the mooring lines cast aside, glide into the park's vast network of waterways for an up-close look at the extensive ecosystem that exists here.

Keep your eyes peeled for the rippled backs of alligators, listen for the chatter of native birds, and duck your head as you pass under wispy strands of Spanish moss before wrapping up your ride back at the dock.

Nearby, wrap up your tour with an up-close look at the park's most famous residents. Watch trained professionals work with massive gators in controlled settings to demonstrate their raw power, speed, and agility, coupled with fascinating commentary about their diet, behaviour, and the ecology of their habitat.
