With your expert naturalist guide, head out on an amazing 90-minute nature walk in Everglades National Park, the only Unesco World Heritage Site in Florida. This is your chance to view a wide variety of wildlife, including birds, large alligators, baby alligators, turtles, and more, up close! And where it should be experienced, in the wild! Discover the biodiversity of this one-of-a-kind wetland wilderness.

For 20-30 minutes, explore Everglades National Park on your own and stop in at the national park visitor center. Collect stamps, pins, or other souveneirs of your choice from ENP. Also, go on a scenic narrated drive led by your naturalist through the Everglades.

Take an exhilarating 60-70 minute air boat ride way far from land way out in the true "River of Grass." This non-touristy trip is your opportunity to see all kinds of wildlife and a vast array of bird species. Learn about the Native American culture, and to experience the remote beauty of their unique way of life.

We took this tour on 8th December 2025. Lindsay, our guide, was exceptional. We were the first pick up at 7:00am, she was bang on time. We did have major traffic issues on route to collect other guests, Lindsay was keeping the other guests, and her office, updated with projected arrival times, so considerate. On the tour she was brilliant, so knowledgeable, explaining all details of all the animals. On the walking tour we saw turtles, amazing birds, and a female alligator with perhaps half a dozen babies, we were within 8 feet from her, really quite a moving experience. The Airboat was awesome. On one of the islands we saw, on land and up close, an enormous male alligator, and many others, incredible. I must say this trip was worth every penny. (Lindsay, if you read this, Michael and Marion did go to Georgios Bakery, had dinner overlooking the river in a thunderstorm, EPIC!!!! Thanks for the recommendation)
Our unbelievable trip..

I spent a lot of time researching these activities and reading the reviews of other trips. This trip came out as the most expensive, however most of the reviews on other trips fell short of expectations. My advice to anybody is, this trip was absolutely worth every penny!! Our guide, Lindsay was so personable and knowledgeable. She was the perfect guide.

Had a wonderful experience with our friends. We saw lots of gators in their natural environment, on the walking tour, and also on the boat ride. We saw a crane catch a snake. Very informative and fun time.
Superb tour guide

Our tour Linsey is expertise in spotting animals with knowledgable introduction of animal/history/ecosystem and so on. The pick up service is very friendly for visitors without transportation. Recommend for people who appreciate and respect the "real" wildlife living in their natural habitat. Not for those who want to touch captive animals and watch animal shows. November is a good season for seeing baby gators! Get your binoculars and telephoto camera ready!
This is the tour to pick for exploring Everglades National Park by airboat

Great tour! Convenient pick-up and drop-off from our hotel. Knowledgeable and personable guide. She knew exactly where to take us to spot several alligators (adult and babies) during walking tour. Had a lot of information regarding flora and fauna we encountered and the Native Americans history of the area. Manageable sized group. Airboat ride was amazing! So much fun! They had water and snacks at several opportunities during the half-day. They were prepared for bad weather with very nice ponchos. Drive was about 90 minutes each way for us, but van is spacious and comfortable and guide asked multiple times to ensure no one needed a restroom stop. We definitely recommend.
A great Everglades experience. The park walking tour & air boat ride was great, the guide was informative and friendly.
