Airboat Adventures Everglades
Private Everglades airboat tours from a Tamiami Trail dock, with daytime, sunrise, sunset and night departures.
Checado em outubro de 2026
For couples and groups who want the boat to themselves and a captain who isn't narrating to forty strangers. The trade-off is price: $250 buys two people one hour, and it climbs fast from there.
Picking a departure
Four time slots run here: daytime, sunrise, sunset and night. Daytime is the cheapest, from $250 for an hour, climbing in $100 steps to $650 for three hours. Sunset, sunrise and night tours start at $450 for 90 minutes, then $550 for two hours and $750 for three. Those prices cover the first two guests. Each extra person is $60, and kids 5 and under ride free. Sunset is the one reviewers keep writing about, with captains timing the run so you're out on the water when the light goes. Night trades the scenery for looking for gators in the dark.
The private boat part
Every tour is private: the boat is yours and so is the captain. That's why the price looks steep next to the big shared operators, and why it gets cheaper per head as your group grows. Captains hold U.S. Coast Guard licenses, are CPR and first aid certified, and are pitched as local Gladesmen who grew up out here. The dock sits outside Everglades National Park on the Tamiami Trail, which the company says lets captains legally get closer to wildlife than park rules allow. Sightings aren't guaranteed, and they say so up front.
Beyond the airboat
The same outfit runs buggy tours, wildlife roundups and python hunts, if a boat ride feels too tame. Those have their own pages, so ask about them when you book. You can bring your own drinks on board, which makes a sunset run with a cooler a fair plan for a small celebration. Reviews are close to spotless, 4.9 from about 280 on Google, with the same captains named again and again. Google lists it as open 24 hours, but don't read that as a walk-up schedule. Tours run on booked departures, so lock in a time before you drive out.
Como chegar
- The dock is at 5334 FL-90 on the Tamiami Trail, so plan on a drive out of the city.
Reservas
You get a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before your tour.
Bom saber
Bring your own drinks; it's allowed on board.
