I was amazed by the overall experience especially the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. We arrived an hour earlier and asked if we could get on the next airboat and he did it without hesitation. Then we had Captain Adam as our guide and he was knowledgeable and great at pointing out not just gators but the different birds we saw. It was a great experience and the price was very reasonable. We can't wait to come back. Thank you for starting our vacation out perfectly.

Visited with my parents and my little brother (he’s 8). Our guide, Tim, was super funny and kept us all entertained. We sped through the water and then drifted quietly to spot alligators (saw 4, one really close!). Learned a lot about the plants too. Bring a hat—it gets HOT. A couple of the other boats looked crowded but ours was fine. Great family outing.

Visited with my parents. The airboat ride was fun and we saw some gators. Facilities are basic, so don’t expect anything fancy. Bring snacks.

Fun tour, but the bus ride was longer than I’d hoped. The Everglades are worth it though. Take a jacket – it can get chilly on the water!

Did this solo and really enjoyed it. The guide explained a lot and I learned stuff I didn’t expect (like how the Everglades isn’t a swamp – who knew?). Bring sunglasses, the glare is INTENSE.

Tips for visiting the Everglades from Fort Lauderdale

Choose your departure point: Tours often start from Miami Beach or Downtown, or offer park-based meetups. Confirm your pickup spot when booking.
Plan for warm weather: Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and wear light clothing. It can get hot and humid fast.
Bug spray is a must: The Everglades are beautiful, but also buggy. A spritz before the tour can save your day.
Bring water and snacks: While there are cafes within some parks, your options will be limited. It’s best to carry snacks and water of your own too.
Double-check what's included: Not all tours include Everglades National Park entry. Verify if it’s covered in your ticket.

Most Everglades tours from Miami require little walking. You’ll mainly be on an airboat or tram, with only short, easy walks around exhibits or boardwalks.

Yes. Entry to Everglades National Park typically costs $35 per vehicle or $20 per person. Many tours include this fee, but check in advance.
