Miami: Sawgrass Recreation Park Airboat Tour at Night

About this experience

Everglades Airboat Night Tour The Everglades transforms after dark into a completely different world. This 60-minute night airboat tour takes you deep into the marshes of Sawgrass Recreation Park, where expert guides use spotlights to reveal the nocturnal secrets of America's most famous wetland. You'll glide silently across moonlit waters while your captain searches for the glowing red eyes of alligators and other creatures that emerge only after sunset. The night sounds of the Everglades create an atmosphere unlike any daytime visit. Listen for the haunting calls of owls, the splash of feeding fish, and the rustle of wildlife moving through the sawgrass. Your experienced airboat captain shares insights about the ecosystem's nocturnal behaviour, explaining how alligators hunt at night and why certain birds settle in specific areas. The tour also includes full daytime access to the park's exhibit areas, so you can learn about Everglades wildlife before your evening adventure.
