Miami
Important: As of July 14, 2026, access to the islands is temporarily suspended due to the current water level. Experience one of the most authentic Everglades adventures from Miami.
Skip crowded tourist parks on a shared Miami Everglades tour capped at 14 travelers. Ride a semi-private airboat through wetlands, sawgrass prairies, cypress forests, and mangrove corridors, with chances to see alligators, turtles, and native birds. Two airboat-only tree islands add a rescued-animal stop and a historic Miccosukee family camp, while live commentary covers Miami, the Miccosukee Tribe, and the Everglades ecosystem. Hotel pickup, snacks, and noise-reducing headsets keep the half-day experience straightforward.
