About this activity

You'll be picked up from select Orlando locations before departing on a 1-hour bus ride to the Headwaters of the Florida Everglades. Once you arrive at the 13-acre (5-hectare) park, board the airboat for an airboat eco-tour, during which you'll travel deep into the 4,200 acres (1,699 hectares) of protected swamps, marshes and rivers that make up the Central Florida Everglades.
Get an in-depth look at the gators, birds, eagles, trees and plants that make up these beautiful wetlands from your certified US Coast Guard-approved captain. Explore a quiet, unspoiled part of Florida, where you won’t see any urban development.
After your exciting airboat ride, watch a live alligator demonstration! During this 20-minute experience, learn all about the American alligator, including its habits as well as the types of dangers associated with gators.
Then, take some time to explore the amazing wildlife park on your own and visit the wildlife exhibits. Spot a zebra, a white-tailed deer, Watusi cattle, gators, tortoises and more before visiting the tropical bird aviary. Discover the Hawk Swamp boardwalk, which takes you through a pristine Florida cypress swamp ecosystem, and make sure to take a stroll along the 500-foot (124-meter) sightseeing dock for amazing views of the park.
This is a great tour -- day or night -- for groups of all sizes. If you are looking for a VIP experience, upgrade to the 1-hour airboat tour for a more personalized experience with your group of up to four people!

The air boat was awesome! - it only takes half a day and the captain took us to view the alligator nesting spots and other wildlife - great for anyone who doesn't have much time.

This was a great tour. Billy our driver was very informative and helpful about this tour and restaurants to go to. We were upgraded to the hour tour and was very happy as the half hour tour would not have been long enough. We saw huge alligator sunning himself and an area where there were new baby alligators of this year and of 2017 and 2016. Amazing to see such a difference in their size in three years. Definitely worth the money and travel time.

Fabulous day , make sure you have warm clothing with you as it was freezing on the airboat. Saw quite a few alligators out on th Everglades and the guy manning the boat ensured you got yout moneys worth. Book the hour trip as 30 minutes not enough time. Driver Billy professional and friendly .

It was an excellent tour. Airboat ride was fun. The Alligator encounter was an experience on it own. I would suggest to go for it.
