We run outside Everglades National Park, along the Tamiami Trail, so your captain can legally get you closer to gators, birds and other wildlife than park rules allow.
Choose a private Everglades airboat tour from Miami, departing from our dock at 5334 FL-90 on the Tamiami Trail. Explore with our team of USCG-licensed captains. Pick daytime, sunset, sunrise or night to find a departure that fits your visit.

The Most EPIC Everglades Experience! 🐊🌅✨
I’ve lived in Miami for the past five years, and somehow I’ve always skipped visiting the Everglades. Well, let me tell you… I have been MISSING OUT!
I planned this sunset airboat adventure as a special date for someone very special who was visiting Miami for the first time, and I honestly couldn’t have planned a more magical experience!
I knew I didn’t want the typical crowded, touristy group tour. I wanted something more private, intimate, and memorable, and Airboat Adventures delivered BEYOND my expectations!
We had the entire boat to ourselves, cruising through the Everglades as the sun was setting, surrounded by the most breathtaking scenery. It genuinely felt like something out of a movie! 😍
Our guide Greg was absolutely AMAZING! Super professional, knowledgeable, personable, and so much fun. We spotted alligators, turtles, beautiful birds, and learned so much about the Everglades along the way. The entire experience was the perfect combination of adventure, nature, romance, and pure magic.
And can we talk about the PHOTOS?! 📸 The scenery was so unbelievably gorgeous that when I posted pictures and videos on my socials, everyone kept asking me WHERE I WAS because it literally didn’t look real!
Hands down, one of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve had in Miami. Whether you’re planning a romantic date, celebrating something special, or just want to experience a completely different side of Miami, I cannot recommend this enough.
10/10 across the board! The professionalism, the energy, the hospitality, the scenery, the wildlife, EVERYTHING was top-tier.
Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY! In fact, I’m already planning my next visit!
Thank you, Airboat Adventures, for making such a special day even more unforgettable! 🐊🌅❤️

What an AMAZING experience! From start to finish, this airboat tour was absolutely incredible! We saw so much wildlife, from adorable baby alligators to massive gators and enormous softshell turtles! The views were breathtaking, and getting to experience the beauty of the Everglades up close was unforgettable.
Our captain was PHENOMENAL! Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the Everglades. He knew the area like the back of his hand and made sure everyone felt safe while respecting the wildlife and navigating the airboat with expertise.
I truly recommend this experience for EVERYONE, from young children to seniors! Whether you’re looking for an exciting thrill ride or a peaceful escape into nature, this tour offers the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation.
If you’re visiting the Everglades, this is an absolute MUST-DO! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.I would do it again in a heartbeat! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🐊🌿🚤

The BEST Airboat adventure I have ever done, hands down! Captain Greg is not only an expert Captain, doing fun spins and turns, but he’s a wildlife expert as well. The gators seem to love him, because several of them came up to our boat! I highly recommend this adventure!

Absolutely brilliant sunset tour of the everglades. Trevor, our captain/guide, was polite, charming and extremely knowledgeable..we saw all sorts of wildlife along the way, and the sunset was amazing. We were also fortunate enough to have an extended tour, due to rescuing a stranded airboat which had run out of gas! Thanks Trevor for a memorable evening.
