Everglades Small-Group Airboat Adventure with Transport

After pickup from your hotel and a few additional stops, you’ll begin the scenic one-hour drive west toward the Everglades. During the journey, your certified driver-guide will provide live commentary in the language of your choice, sharing stories about Miami, its history, and the unique ecosystem you are about to visit. This comfortable ride in a licensed Mercedes Sprinter or Suburban, with Wi-Fi and bottled water on board, sets the stage for your Everglades adventure.

Upon arrival inside the Indian reservation, you’ll be welcomed to a Miccosukee family–run airboat base, far from the crowded tourist parks. Here begins the highlight of your adventure: in most cases, your group will enjoy a private one-hour airboat ride.
You’ll board a small, open-air airboat with elevated seats designed for panoramic views. Guided by your captain, you’ll glide across miles of pristine wetlands, passing sawgrass prairies, cypress forests, and mangrove corridors. Along the way, keep an eye out for alligators, turtles, and colorful birdlife.
The experience also includes stops at two private islands (hammocks). The first is home to rescued alligators and turtles cared for by the community. The second is especially meaningful: once the village where the Miccosukee family lived until 1962, it now serves as an educational site. Here you may spot the legendary “Papa Alligator” or “Mama Alligator,” and you’ll have a chance to walk along a short boardwalk.

We will visit the Miccosukee Indian Village Store ( except on Monday and Tuesday-alternative stop during those days). A quick driving tour along the Indian reservation will follow.

We will drive back to your hotel or drop off to any other location in dowtown Miami or Miami Beach.
