Half Day: 1 hour Air Boat Ride & Nature Walk in Everglades National Park
What your day looks like
Head out on a smaller air boat, which enables us to way out there and goes much faster than the big airboats! We stop at one or two Native tree island villages to see and learnabout the Miccosukee people. This area can only be accessed by airboat and on this tour. Become immersed in their special customs and the authentic beauty of their remote way of life. Also go on a nature walk led by our master naturalist in the actual National Park. We are one of just a few companies permitted to lead interpretive walking tours there. We know where all the wildlife is, and we get to see a lot of it up close! And where wildlife should be experienced, in the wild (not in pens and cages)! We provide roundtrip transportation and will pick you up directly at your cruise ship. We are the only tour provider with a permit for all 3 South Florida national parks. (Everglades, Big Cypress preserve and Dry Tortugas)

What travelers are saying
This tour was so cute and awesome. It was the perfect way to spend our pit stop in miami before we headed off to the keys. The nature walk was peaceful and our guide pointed out all the wildlife and told us stories about florida's history , which was cool. The boat ride was my favorite parts.The captain took us to all the gator spots. At the end , we even got to see a baby gator and had a chance to pet him/ her :) Highly recommend taking this tour everyone was cool and friendly!!!
