On this exciting day excursion, you will have the chance to explore the Everglades, Florida's most untamed area, traversing the wetlands in a hovercraft and witnessing an exhilarating crocodile showcase.
Standard Day Excursion
At the agreed time, we will depart from the central Miami location you indicated during your reservation and journey East towards the Everglades. This 40-minute ride will be accompanied by intriguing insights about the renowned wetland, recognized as one of Florida's prime natural habitats.
Upon reaching the park's vicinity, we will provide directions to the boat launch where you will board a hovercraft to navigate the swamps, an area where the shallow waters prevent other vessels from entering. Keep your eyes peeled for signs of crocodiles, caimans, and turtles as you venture through this unique ecosystem.
Following the hovercraft excursion, participants can take part in a thrilling crocodile demonstration, giving you the opportunity to get up close to these magnificent creatures, with a chance for the daring to capture a memorable photo with them. If you opt out of the show, this will also be a perfect moment to relax, grab a bite, or explore the gift shop.
After the demonstration concludes, the group will reconvene, allowing time to unwind, purchase souvenirs, or sample some delicious dishes made from fresh local ingredients before heading back to Miami.
The entire trip will wrap up in approximately 4 to 4.5 hours, returning you to the vibrant city of Miami.
VIP Day Excursion
For those who desire a more exclusive experience, a VIP tour of the Everglades is available.
This special outing begins in Miami, featuring a smaller, more comfortable vehicle that accommodates a small group. Keep in mind that the small group limitation applies only to the vehicle transport, while the airboat ride will accommodate a larger audience.
In contrast to the standard package, which runs through the edges of the Everglades outside the National Park limits, this VIP tour ventures into the heart of Everglades National Park, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Attractions unique to this protected region, such as crocodile shows, will not be included.
Another advantage of the VIP excursion is the use of an open-top hovercraft, accompanied by a guide driver who will reveal the park's hidden gems as you explore.
Private Day Excursion
If you prefer a personalized experience, consider booking a private tour of the Everglades, exclusively designed for your group.
