Customer reviews.

Such a blast! We saw dozens of alligators on the trip as well as other wildlife! The boat ride was fun and smooth! Our boat captain and guide Taylor was awesome! He was personable and very knowledgeable! He made our experience special! Everyone had a blast! I would highly recommend this company! Thanks for the awesome man Experience!.

I met the tour guide driver today and it feels like i’ve known him for years. His name is Taylor and is probably one of the most friendliest people I have ever met. I was worried it was going to be an awkward and quiet boat ride the whole tour, but it was an amazing experience! 11/10 would do again!!!.

We went out with Taylor on Saturday morning; my brother and nephew visiting me from California • We’ve never been on an airboat and what an incredible experience!!! Taylor couldn’t have been more informative, friendly, professional and just an awesome guide!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour, just an incredible experience! I would love to do it again!! Thank you Taylor!

Had a fantastic time experiencing all of the wildlife within the habitat...Taylor took the time to share several stories involving his many experiences within the Everglades.....5 plus stars .....A definite must...WE WILL BE BACK.....

Excellent tour. We were a group of 7 and all enjoy it. The reservation and organization was impecable. The tour guide was excellent and fun. I fully recommend Everglades boat tour.

Captain Taylor was the best guide I ever had! He was so personable and fun and did an excellent job of explaining all the beautiful intricacies of what makes the Everglades so great! I would highly recommend him over any of the other tour guides. Plus they have a new boat with cool green gator coverings that made for a smooth safe ride.

First time in Miami and first time to the glades and it was beyond what we expected! Taylor was incredibly knowledgeable about the area due to him growing up and being in the glades since a young child. We got up and close with gators. My son (10) had an unbelievable time. Definitely would recommend taking private tours over anything. We will be back and will definitely take another tour with Taylor!

We had such a great time on this airboat ride! From the get-go Jodi was so kind and responsive on the phone, answering all our questions and just generally being very friendly. We wanted to do a sunrise tour, which she said they didn't normally do, but she checked and accommodated us as she thought it would be an interesting experience as well. It turned out to be really, really nice. We met up with Taylor, who was also very kind and friendly. He didn't rush the experience at all and was very knowledgeable about the area, wildlife and plant life. They are a family owned business and local to the Everglades, so if you want a great experience...go with them!

Had a great 1hr tour with Taylor. This was the only company that managed to sqeeze us in on short notice. It was easy to find the departure point. Taylor is very knowledgable about the history and ecology of the everglades. Learned a lot and saw a few gatoors and birds. Because our tour was pretty late in the day, we saw a wonderful sunset. I would definitly recommend everglades airboat tours to anyone. They are the best.

Fun Facts about the Florida Everglades  

The Florida Everglades National Park is incredible, and it’s easy to see why people travel from all over the world to take an Everglades tour through the wetlands. The Everglades is incredible to see in person, with their unique vegetation and exciting wildlife. Despite the recent focus on the ecosystem, there is still much to learn about its contribution to South Florida and beyond. Here are three fascinating facts about the Everglades gleaned from park experts that may surprise you.

  • The Everglades is a river: Believe it or not, the Everglades is a constantly moving river, which is ideal for an Everglades airboat tour . Water trickles from Lake Okeechobee to the south, forming a slow-moving river sixty miles wide and a hundred miles long. However, the “River of Grass” is much smaller than it used to be. Construction and related drainage projects have destroyed up to 50% of the wetland habitat.
  • It is the only location on the planet where alligators and crocodiles coexist:  The Everglades are home to both crocodiles and gators. Crocs are mostly found in small numbers along the ‘glades’ coast, whereas alligators prefer to stay inland, near freshwater. Despite this, the Everglades ecosystem provides a natural habitat for both, and it is the only place on the planet where these reptiles coexist in the wild.
  • There are 9 habitats providing a home to 16 endangered or threatened species: The Florida Everglades may be complex, but it’s that complexity that makes them so spectacular. The Florida panther and alligator are just two of the endangered animals that the Everglades ecosystem protects. With nine distinct habitats, the Everglades is also home to more than 16 species of birds, a variety of mammals, reptiles, plants, and a wealth of unique flora. America’s wetlands are spectacular and a fantastic learning environment for adventurous families, photographers, and nature lovers alike.

If you want to learn more and a trip through the Everglades sounds like fun, a narrated tour could be the answer! Visit our Best Everglades Tours in Miami , featuring 60-minute airboat ride, live alligator shows and a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with Florida’s finest.

Miami airboat   rides and tours.

air-boat: Pronunciation[air-boht] – a small open boat having a very shallow draft and driven by a caged airplane propeller mounted above the rear transom, capable of traveling at relatively high speeds through shallow water, swamps, etc.

There’s no better way to see the Florida Everglades than by taking an airboat ride. Safe, exhilarating, and fun for all the family, an airboat tour brings you face-to-face with some of the most beautiful Everglades scenery to be found in Miami Florida, as well as colorful wildlife. An airboat ride also gives you the opportunity to come face to face with Florida’s most famous residents – the Florida Alligator for which the state is justly famous.

The Everglades are one of America’s last great wildernesses – a fascinating and diverse ecosystem that remains surprisingly unspoiled. Despite the best efforts of Man to encroach on their territory, the Everglades are home to some of the most unusual and exotic bird and animal life to be found anywhere in North America, and there’s no better way to see them than on an airboat ride with Miami Airboat Tours.

Birdlife in the Everglades is particularly rich and diverse, from herons and egrets to cranes and ospreys. But it’s perhaps for the Florida gators that the Everglades are best known, and an airboat tour won’t disappoint you on this score. Our airboat rides are conducted by experienced captains who grew up in the Everglades, so they know just where to take you to see the best that Everglades’ natural habitat has to offer.

Our airboat rides are comfortable and exciting, and the boats themselves are made to the highest standards. An airboat tour is really a great way to see the wetlands of the Everglades. Indeed, after the alligators themselves, airboats are probably one of Florida’s most famous sights! But an airboat tour isn’t just a thrill ride – our mission is also one of education and conservation. On a Miami Airboat Tour, you’ll learn about the fragile and unique ecosystem that sustains the wildlife of the Everglades, and hopefully come away with a renewed sense of how precious these wetlands are to our country’s ecology. Miami Airboat Tours is committed to protecting the environment of the Everglades, and so our airboat rides keep to designated waterways and operate at all times with safety in mind – the safety not just of our guests but also of the residents of these ancient wetlands and rivers.

Miami Airboat Tours operates out of the west Miami area, our location is easily accessible depending on your location in south Florida, we have ample parking please call us for detailed directions. (305) 280-4812

Airboat safety is one of our top concerns, and we’re glad to be able to assure you that airboat rides are absolutely safe for all members of the family. Our airboats are inspected daily and conform to all applicable safety statutes. In addition, we take pains to ensure that all boats are equipped with first aid kits, flotation devices, and communications systems, so in the unlikely event of any mishap, there would be no cause for concern.

All of our captains have USCG certification and are local to the Everglades, so they know these complex waterways like the back of their hands, and you couldn’t be in better ones.

You’ll find that an airboat tour is cheaper than you think – and offers unbeatable value for money for thrill-seekers looking for an exciting way to see the Everglades and a bit of local wildlife. Children between 6 and 12 ride half price, and children under 6 ride for free – so it’s a great way to organize a family outing, as well. In fact, kids of all ages are sure to be enthralled by the airboat ride! You’ll find that an airboat ride with Miami Airboat Tours is something you’ll never forget.

"There are no lofty peaks seeking the sky, no mighty glaciers or rushing streams wearing away the uplifted land.

To its natural abundance we owe the spectacular plant and animal life that distinguishes this place from all others in our country."

“There is something about flying down narrow alleys of mangrove trees that is just a rush. I could never get tired of it. The guides always give more than just a ride. You learn so much about the Everglades and the total ecosystem that it is. We most certainly will be back!

—C. from Florida

“The mangrove tour was so much fun! We saw a family of dolphins swimming along the boat, several alligators, and a few fish jumping out of the water. Riding through the mangroves was beautiful and a fun way to see the Everglades. I would recommend to anyone.”

—J. from Massachusetts

“We really enjoyed seeing the alligators. The captain of the airboat gave a lot of information about the Everglades and habitat. The addition of the two-way headsets let us all communicate during the tour. This was really a highlight of having friends down visiting us new Florida residents. Plan to bring other guests."

—K. from Florida
