Overview
Our Everglades Tour is led by a real guide with over 10 years of experience in Miami. Personal connection is super important to us, that's why we keep our tour groups small to medium-sized, ensuring that every question gets answered. We make sure no question goes unanswered! The Everglades have faced new challenges over time, from urban development and drainage to the invasion of exotic species from the tropical rainforests of South America. We want to show you how much we care about the Everglades, and that's why we've been actively involved in protecting them for years. During this tour, we'll also share ways you can actively contribute to preserving the Everglades. Looking forward to having you with us!

Itinerary
1. Our tour starts right from your pick-up! Our guide doesn't just talk to you and recite a standard script... No! They love their job and the surroundings, actively involving you in shaping this tour experience. Historically, the Everglades in South Florida began in the coastal areas of today's South Florida Metropolitan Area, and that's why our guides start sharing stories about the Everglades right from the pick-up. During the drive, you'll get detailed information about the past, present, and future of the Everglades, as well as insights into the exotic flora and fauna. By the time you step off the bus, you'll already be experts on the Everglades!
2. Get ready for a thrilling approximately 60-minute airboat ride through the "River of Grass" that we've selected for you! Zoom into the wild vegetation, pass by alligators, turtles, snakes, and other wildlife, giving you the chance for unforgettable experiences and unique photo opportunities! Our airboat ride lasts twice as long (up to 60 minutes) and is twice as fast (up to 80 km/h) compared to other tour providers. Afterward, enjoy an informative 20-minute wildlife show, where you can marvel at "Nuisance Alligators" – alligators that have been rescued from certain death! Don't forget to check out the park's souvenir shop for the perfect keepsake to bring home.
3. Before heading back, we'll explain to you why the alligator population has recovered through alligator farms. Also, feel free to use the return journey to discuss any remaining questions or other interesting topics about the Everglades. We're here to make sure you leave with all the information you're curious about!
