Captain Greg Mislow grew up around the Everglades. In his personal account on Florida Tour Company, he describes a connection built through changing water levels, wildlife and the responsibility of knowing a place well. That story helps explain the local perspective behind Airboat Adventures Everglades.
The landscape is part of the experience
A private Everglades airboat tour is an opportunity to look beyond the photographs. Ask about the water around the boat, the vegetation along the route and the differences between the landscape you see today and other times of year. Those conversations make the trip personal, whether this is your first visit to South Florida or a return to a familiar place.
Greg’s original story emphasizes education, respect for the ecosystem and an interest in invasive species management. Read his River of Grass story on Florida Tour Company for that background in his own words.
Local experience and professional qualifications
Our captains are local Gladesmen with lifelong Everglades experience. They hold USCG captain’s licenses and CPR and first aid certifications. Visit our captain qualifications page to learn more and find Greg’s CBS Miami interviews.
Before reserving, tell us about your group: ages, interests, available time and any questions about getting on and off the boat. Discuss specific needs directly so we can explain what is practical for your outing.
Make your private tour your own
- For a first visit: ask about the scenery and wildlife you may encounter.
- For photographers: discuss your priorities and timing before booking.
- For curious families: bring questions about the River of Grass and how the habitat changes.
- For returning guests: tell us what you enjoyed previously and what you would like to explore next.
Wildlife encounters and routes depend on the day’s conditions. A photograph from a previous trip is a memory, not a promise of an identical sighting.
