Everglades Airboat Eco Tour: Small group & 2 Private Islands
Overview
The Real Everglades Eco Tour Is Back!
Starting June 16, 2026, experience one of the most authentic Everglades adventures from Miami. Travel in a licensed Mercedes Sprinter (max. 14 guests) with live commentary from your multilingual guide about Miami, the Miccosukee Tribe, and the Everglades ecosystem.
Unlike crowded tourist parks, you’ll board a small semi-private airboat reserved for our group. Enjoy a 1 to 1 hour 20 minute ride through remote wetlands, sawgrass prairies, and wildlife-rich areas rarely seen by most visitors. Headsets are provided.
Visit two private tree islands accessible only by airboat. Meet rescued baby alligators and turtles on one island, then explore a historic Miccosukee family camp on the other, where you may spot the famous “Mama Gator.”
The tour also includes a stop at the Miccosukee Service Plaza for snacks, souvenirs, and restrooms.
Duration: 4.5–5 hours
Hotel pickup included.
