Everglades Eco Tour: Airboat, Wildlife & up 2 Private Islands
Overview
This is not the typical Everglades airboat tour. Discover the legendary “River of Grass” on a true water eco-safari, away from mass tourism. Travel from Miami aboard a Mercedes Sprinter Van with a maximum of 14 guests. Your guide will introduce you to the ecosystem, wildlife and Native heritage of the Everglades.
Enjoy about 50–60 minutes aboard a small open-air airboat operated by Native families from the Miccosukee Indian Reservation, navigating sawgrass, waterways and wildlife habitats. When water levels permit, explore up to 2 private islands: one with a rehabilitation area for young alligators and another preserving a traditional Native camp with authentic chickee structures.
Spot alligators, turtles and native birds in their natural habitat. Depending on group size, an alternative small-boat route may be used. Routes, wildlife sightings and island access depend on natural conditions.
