Miami: Private Everglades Airboat Tour [Group Pricing]

About this experience

Miami Private Everglades Airboat Tour This ticket secures your group a place on a private, captained airboat ride through Florida's famed Everglades, gliding across the marshlands of Sawgrass Recreation Park with a dedicated captain at the helm. The 60-minute guided ride takes you along the waterways where alligators, including the legendary 1,000-pound Cannibal, plus crocodiles, turtles and iguanas can be spotted in their natural habitat. Because the ride is private, your group travels without other parties and receives personalised attention from your captain throughout. Group sizes of 4, 6, 12 or 15 people are available to suit your party. After the airboat ride, your visit continues at the Alligator and Reptile Exhibit, where your guide supervises a hands-on encounter with a baby alligator. This Miami Everglades tour gives your group front-row views of South Florida's wildlife in an intimate setting away from standard group experiences.
