Glide across the legendary River of Grass at sunrise on a private airboat, spotting American alligators, roseate spoonbills, and ancient cypress hammocks. This is raw Florida wilderness at its most bucket-list spectacular.
What to expect
Board a powerful flat-bottomed airboat and skim across vast sawgrass prairies as the Florida sun rises. Your naturalist pilot cuts the engine at prime wildlife spots, letting alligators drift within arm's reach. A live gator demonstration at the on-site wildlife sanctuary rounds out the experience. The whole journey feels prehistoric and completely unlike anything else in South Florida.
Good to know
About 45 minutes by car from Port Everglades/PortMiami. Book the private charter well in advance for guaranteed early access. Allow 3–4 hours total. All-aboard times are typically 5–6 pm, leaving comfortable buffer.
