Planning a Private Airboat Tour from Miami

Start with your available time

Choose your preferred date and allow time for travel, arrival, and the tour itself. Traffic can affect a Miami itinerary, so avoid scheduling the outing too close to a flight or other fixed commitment.

Pick your experience

Daytime airboat tours start at $250 for one hour or $350 for 1.5 hours for the first 2 guests. Sunrise, sunset and night tours start at $450 for the first 2 guests, with a 1.5-hour minimum. Each additional guest is $60, and children 5 and under ride free. We’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and most of our boats seat 6–7 guests. Compare the available durations and ask us to confirm your departure time.

Sunrise airboat tours

Yes, we run private sunrise airboat tours. Because we’re open 24 hours a day, you choose the start time, and we recommend starting about 30 minutes before sunrise so you’re on the water as the sky lights up over the sawgrass.

Sunrise here falls between roughly 6:30 and 7:40 AM, depending on the time of year, so most sunrise tours start somewhere between 6:00 and 7:10 AM. We confirm the exact time when you book.

Why go so early? The air is at its coolest, the water is often calm enough for reflections, and wading birds are busy feeding in the first light. It’s a favorite time for photographers, and our photography tour guide has gear tips for shooting from the boat. Tours run outside Everglades National Park, along the Tamiami Trail, so your captain can legally bring you closer to wildlife than park rules allow. Wildlife is wild, though, so we can’t promise particular sightings.

Bring insect repellent, because mosquitoes are active at dawn, and a light layer on winter mornings. You’re welcome to bring your own coffee, breakfast or anything else you like. If you’re using our private van, pickup is usually about an hour before the tour, so plan on an early start.

To set one up, book a private sunrise tour of your chosen length or call (305) 766-1929 with your date and group size. Prefer the evening light? See our sunset airboat tours.
