This was fun! We saw multilpe alligators, birds, a large iguana which hid itselt looking like a tree branch, and had an amazing experience riding airboat through evergrlades while learning interesting facts about alligators, birds, and everglades. Then, we visited the animal exhibit and saw a cool turtle & snake presentation, saw more alligators, and tasted gator bites from the food truck. An awesome Florida experience. Can't believe we've visited Florida many times and never had this cool experience before. Higly recommend it!

I went two times and the last day at the Everglades was fantastic, our boat captain Nadim was amazing; he took us to different areas and we saw three crocodiles. When he did the "Tokyo Drift" we were all astonished, great maneuvering and control. The facilites are clean and everithing is very well organized. Very sage and highly recommended. I will be back! Thank you

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Darius was amazing. Took time to answer our questions and did not make us feel like we were bothering him. Quite a memorable visit and Darius made it unforgettable with the new knowledge that he delivered to us about snakes, alligators and crocodiles. Tashon Shockey Raleigh NC

The tour was amazing, from the bus driver Mr Blanc, he was super nice and funny, to the tour itself. The boat ride was good and the captain made sure we all saw the alligators, the show was also good. The. You can hold a gator or a snake and take a picture. We loved it.

Great experience, saw loads of wildlife, fed the alligators!! The sloth was really cute and friendly. Filmed two woodpeckers in the swamp. The airboat tour itself is really good fun with awesome views and surroundings. Great package price.

As we were getting there, we were both silently thinking 'what did we get ourselves into!'. But it ended up being one of the biggest highlights of our trip!!! We took the hour-long airboat ride. Having never done this before, it was a lot of fun. Not too many sightings, but it wasn’t for lack of trying on Captain Mike's part. After that, we checked out their AMAZING zoo!! If you want variety, you’ll find it here. Again, it looks like nothing, but if you catch all the free shows, it’s well worth it. Take your time, enjoy it, we sure did!!

Why take a day trip from Fort Lauderdale to Everglades?

1/5

Adventure right next door

Who says you have to drive hours to find real wilderness? The Everglades are just 30 to 60 min from Fort Lauderdale. You can swap beachside vibes for sawgrass marshes, airboats, and alligator sightings in less than an hour.

The airboat rides are pure thrill

Nothing says “Everglades escapade” like an airboat ride. These fan-powered boats glide over shallow waters and tall sawgrass, zipping through hidden trails you’d never find on foot. It’s part sightseeing cruise, part adrenaline rush, especially when your captain kicks up the speed and takes a sharp turn.

Gator encounters you’ll talk about all week

A day trip here guarantees gator action. Spot them from the boat, see them sunbathing on the banks, or watch live shows like the Gator Boys at Everglades Holiday Park. You get the excitement of the wild without needing to rough it overnight.

Nature photography easily accessible

The Everglades pack a ton into a short visit, think flocks of birds, turtles crossing your path, blooming lilies, and mirror-like waters. Even if you're only there for a few hours, you’ll leave with incredible photos that look like you spent days in the wilderness.

A quick dive into the real Florida

If you want to understand the real Florida, this is where you start. Drive right through endless sawgrass prairies, along winding waterways, and ancient cypress groves. You'll see gators, wading birds, and maybe even a manatee, all thriving in their natural habitat.

Best things to do in the Everglades

1/5

Hop on an airboat ride

Speed across the marsh as your guide points out gators, birds, and snakes. It’s Florida’s version of a rollercoaster, except your track is a river of grass.

Catch a live gator show

Watch trained experts handle alligators with awe-inspiring confidence. These shows are fun, educational, and safe (for the humans).

Go wildlife spotting

Bring your zoom lens, you’ll want it. Birds, turtles, gators, and maybe even river otters make their home here.

Paddle through mangroves

Some tours offer kayaking or canoeing, perfect for a quiet, up-close experience in shaded mangrove tunnels.

Walk the Anhinga Trail

Located inside Everglades National Park, this easy boardwalk trail is a top spot for gator sightings. You might see more wildlife here than on a safari.

Tips for visiting the Everglades from Fort Lauderdale

Choose your pickup option: Some tours offer hotel pickup. You can choose from tours that depart from a central location in Fort Lauderdale or ones that require you to drive yourself to the Everglades.
Dress for the outdoors: Expect sun, wind, and occasional splashes from the airboat ride. Wear light, breathable clothing, bring sunscreen and sunglasses, and don’t forget the bug spray.
Tours run rain or shine. Florida weather can change in minutes, so a light poncho or rain jacket is a smart addition to your daypack, even if the sky looks clear in the morning.
Arrive early for your pickup or check-in: Whether meeting your group at the park or getting picked up in the city, be at the gathering spot at least 15–20 min early.
Pack snacks and water: While some parks have snack bars, options can be limited. Bring a water bottle and a light snack to stay comfortable between activities.
