Everglades National Park: Safari Park Airboat Tour with Transportation from Miami

About this experience

Everglades National Park Airboat Tour from Miami This full-day guided tour takes you from Miami's urban landscape straight into the heart of Florida's most famous wetland ecosystem. Your guide leads you aboard a flat-bottomed airboat to glide through the Everglades' distinctive "Rivers of Grass", where you will spot alligators in their natural habitat and learn about native wildlife during an educational nature show. The ticket includes round-trip hotel transportation from Miami, making it an effortless day trip for visitors wanting to experience one of America's most unique national parks. Your adventure begins at Everglades Safari Park, where licensed captains navigate shallow waters and winding channels that larger vessels cannot access. The 40-minute airboat ride offers prime opportunities to observe alligators basking near floating vegetation, turtles sunning themselves on logs, and various wading birds hunting for their next meal. After the water portion, your guide leads you along the park's Jungle Trail on foot, crossing boardwalks through subtropical vegetation where over 100 bird species make their home.
