Everglades Airboat Tour & Alligator Wildlife Show from Miami

Experience the Wild Florida Everglades

Discover the wild side of South Florida with an unforgettable trip to the Florida Everglades, one of the most unique ecosystems in the United States. This adventure combines transportation from Miami with a thrilling Everglades airboat tour and an exciting live alligator wildlife show, making it one of the most popular nature experiences near Miami.

Your journey begins in Downtown Miami at Bayside Marketplace, where you will board a comfortable coach bus for the scenic drive to the Everglades. We currently offer only one departure daily, making this experience exclusive and limited in availability.

In about 45 minutes to an hour, you will arrive at the Everglades park located in the heart of this famous wetland ecosystem.

Ride an Airboat Through the River of Grass

Once you arrive, the adventure begins with a 60-minute Everglades airboat ride. These specially designed boats glide across the shallow waters of the Everglades, allowing you to explore areas that traditional boats cannot reach.

As the captain navigates through the famous River of Grass, you’ll experience the beauty of the wetlands while searching for wildlife that lives throughout this unique ecosystem.

During the ride, visitors may spot animals such as American alligators, turtles, birds, fish, and other native species that call the Everglades home. Because this is a real natural environment, every tour is different and wildlife sightings vary from trip to trip.

Watch the Live Alligator Wildlife Show

After the airboat ride, enjoy a live alligator wildlife show, where expert handlers demonstrate the incredible strength and behavior of Florida’s most famous reptile.

This educational presentation teaches visitors about the Everglades ecosystem and the animals that live there.

Guests will also receive a free souvenir photo with a baby alligator, giving you a fun memory to take home from your Everglades adventure.
