Our excursions are great for kids and people of all ages. On your tour, our expert captains will guide you, while using entertaining naraative to teach you all about the plants and animals that live in this amazing wetland environment.
All of our airboats are custom-built here at the park in our mechanic shop and have twin automobile engines that produce enough gator-power to get you zipping across the River of Grass! Most have covered roofs which will protect you from the sun and rains that we get down here in South Florida. The covered tops also act as a sound barrier that shield your ears from the roar of the engines by about 65%.
All of our captains are expert Gladesmen and women! This means they are extremely knowledgeable about the history and delicate ecosystem. They will guide you on your fully narrated tour while teaching you all about the Everglades, its lush sub-tropical vegetation and the wildlife that inhabit the Glades.

The national park is so large, that you end up doing a lot of driving to get from one station to the next. You also end up fighting a lot of crows. That is why we are so excited to offer an Everglades airboat experience right near Ft. Lauderdale,
Everglades National Park wasn’t established until 1947, and by then, the damage to the Everglades was already noticeable.
Do you know the Florida Everglades? You might be surprised to learn that America’s wetland is actually a river. Here are 5 surprising facts about the Everglades.
Our in-demand alligator show courtesy of the Gator Boys Alligator Rescue lasts anywhere between 15-25 minutes. You’ll experience tricks, demonstrations, stunts, and more—plus, you’ll learn a ton of interesting facts about wild alligators.
We’ll do you one better than that—you can actually hold a baby alligator (and get a picture as proof!) Once the alligator presentation is over, you and your party can pose for a picture with a baby alligator and take home the photo as a keepsake. Of course, this process is totally safe (the alligator’s mouth will be taped shut for protection)—but that doesn’t mean you won’t feel the power and strength of the alligator in your hands.
Airboat rides are a perfectly safe and fun way to tour the Everglades—especially because at the park, we pride ourselves on safety as our top priority. That, and creating a family-fun day of excitement for people of all ages. We proudly employ experienced boat captains who are the most highly skilled navigators who are licensed by the Coast Guard—and in fact, have been exploring the Everglades for a huge portion of their lives. We have the most impressive fleet in the Everglades, each one more equipped and state-of-the-art than the last.
Actually, it’s pretty much the opposite. Our alligators are rescued and cared for by The Gator Boys Alligator Rescue team—which means they feed them, care for them, and create a beautiful, natural environment to live in. Every one of our gator shows is animal friendly and truly, many of them are total hams for the audience—something tells us they just really like the spotlight.
Please do! It's fun for the whole family. We always encourage parents to bring their little ones aboard the boats to experience the park and enjoy the wildlife. The best part? Children under 3 years old are always free. As an added bonus, your baby will be safe from the sun’s rays—our custom airboats are covered to protect from the hot South Florida sun. If your baby is sensitive to louder sounds, no problem, we sell earplugs in the General Store, which will protect them from the noise of the airboat engines.
Strap in for high speeds, fresh air, and endless excitement, as our tours keep the whole family buzzing with some of the best sightseeing in Florida. These adrenaline-pumping rides offer rapid-paced fun – the kind that keeps everyone on the edge of their seats! Keep your eyes wide open, so you don’t miss a second of the fantastic wildlife, including Florida’s own living fossil, the American alligator. But of course, you’ll get to see live alligators along your ride as well. So, whether this is a bucket list item, or maybe you’re just wanting to enjoy the great views, you can’t go wrong choosing this as one of your activities during your vacation.
With thrilling speeds, our park takes precautions to make safety a priority. You’ll get the chance to marvel at the marsh’s most amazing creatures, all from the comfort of our amazing watercraft.

We are a fantastic choice for parents seeking out-of-the-box fun activities for kids or companies looking for a unique team-building experience.
As you skim across the “River of Grass”, you’ll be surrounded by wild animals in their natural habitat. Our passionate and knowledgeable guides will share fun facts about alligators, fascinating things you may not know, insights about the ecosystem’s flora and fauna, and share stories about the indigenous Everglades tribes, enriching your experience and deepening your appreciation for this incredible landscape.
Our airboats were designed from local roots, and take into account the hot Florida sun. They are fitted with a covered seating area that provides protection from the elements while still allowing for an immersive, up-close encounter with animals. So, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned explorer, our airboat tours promise a thrilling, educational, and unforgettable adventure for everyone.
It should be noted, though, that this is not a swamp tour. Generally, people tend to think of New Orleans or the Louisiana Swamps, which tend to be quite a bit different! We are a clean aquifer; it is not muddy or brackish. It’s so much fun! Plus, the clear waters allow you to see even the smallest baby alligator, as well as wading birds, frogs, and more!
Because of this, we don’t have a swamp buggy tour, instead, we use a custom design that are shaded from the sun for a comfortable ride. Want something more unique? Try our Private Tour for small groups.
