Planning an Everglades Day Trip from Miami

aerial view of the river of grass during a day trip to the everglades from Miami

Embarking on a day trip to the Everglades from Miami is an adventure that requires a bit of planning to make the most of your experience. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or a first-time visitor, these tips will ensure your journey is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Best Time of Year to Visit

The Everglades offers distinct experiences throughout the year, making it a year-round destination. However, the best time to visit largely depends on what you want to see and do.

The Dry Season (November to March): This period is the ideal time to make a Miami Everglades day trip. With cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and minimal rainfall, the dry season provides comfortable conditions for outdoor activities. It’s the best time for wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around water holes and are more easily spotted.

The Wet Season (April to October): If you don’t mind warmer temperatures and occasional rain, the wet season offers its own unique charm during a day trip to the Everglades. The landscape is lush and vibrant, and the fewer visitors during this time mean a more solitary experience with nature.

Essential Items to Bring

A day trip to the Everglades requires some essential items to enhance your experience and ensure your safety :

  • Comfortable Clothing and Footwear: Wear light, breathable clothing and sturdy, closed-toe shoes for walking.
  • Sun Protection: Bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the Florida sun.
  • Insect Repellent: The Everglades are known for mosquitoes, especially during the wet season.
  • Water and Snacks: Stay hydrated and energized throughout your trip.
  • Camera and Binoculars: Capture the stunning landscapes and get a closer look at the wildlife.
  • A Map or Guidebook: Navigate the park and learn about its diverse ecosystems.

Respect Wildlife: Always keep a safe distance from all wildlife. Remember, this is their home. Feeding or trying to touch animals can be dangerous and is strictly prohibited.

Stay on Marked Paths: For your safety and the protection of the ecosystem, stick to designated trails and boardwalks. Venturing off-path can lead to getting lost and damaging sensitive habitats.

Be Weather Aware: The Everglades can experience sudden weather changes. Bring waterproof clothing, sunscreen, and plenty of water. Check weather forecasts and be prepared for the subtropical climate.

Have a Plan: Cell service can be spotty, especially in remote areas. Inform someone about your plans and expected return time. Always have a map and a basic first aid kit.

Practices for Environmentally Friendly Tourism

Leave No Trace: Carry out everything you bring in. Littering disrupts the ecosystem and can harm wildlife.

Use Eco-friendly Products: When packing for your trip, opt for biodegradable and eco-friendly products, especially sunscreen and insect repellent, to minimize chemical impact on the environment.

Support Responsible Tours: Choose an airboat tour operator who demonstrates environmentally responsible practices, such as Everglades Holiday Park, and respects the ecosystem.

Importance of Preserving the Everglades’ Natural Beauty

The Everglades is not just a stunning natural area; it’s a crucial habitat for a vast array of wildlife and a vital natural resource. Its wetlands play a significant role in water purification, flood control, and carbon storage. Preserving its beauty and ecological health is essential for maintaining biodiversity and the overall health of our planet.

Educate Yourself and Others: Learn about the challenges facing the Everglades, including invasive species, pollution, and climate change. Share your knowledge with others to spread awareness.

Support Conservation Efforts: Consider contributing to organizations dedicated to preserving the Everglades. Even small actions can make a big difference.

WHY VISIT THE EVERGLADES?

The Florida Everglades is a region of subtropical wetlands in South Florida. Its unique ecosystem is unlike one you will find anywhere else in the U.S.

Visit the Everglades

What makes the Everglades such a special destination? Unlike a visit to a zoo to see exotic wildlife, a Miami Everglades tour lets you get close to so many beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.

In this wilderness, you'll spot American alligators, White-tailed deer, turtles, lots of other reptiles, and exotic birds.

Most of the tour companies that visit the Everglades are located along HWY 41 just outside of Miami, but some of them are also found along HWY 27. (See driving directions from Miami to the Everglades here ).

Everglades from Miami

There are some Everglades tours from Miami that include transportation, so you don't have to think about getting out there on your own.

Some tours specialize in taking you close to alligators in the wild, while others focus more on the natural beauty of the environment.

No matter what you want to see, any tour of the Everglades is an experience of a lifetime!

PUBLIC AIRBOAT TOURS

The following section will cover several great Everglades airboat tours, including information about pricing, the tour length, and all included activities.

Gator Park Airboat Tours

This is an example of an airboat tour that offers more than just a ride on an airboat.

Each ticket pays for admission, an airboat tour of the Everglades, and an alligator wrestling show.

This option is one of the best Everglades airboat tours for families, as it allows children to participate in a variety of activities.

They offer online booking and are located just off HWY 41.

  • $32.99 Adults | $24.99/Children
  • Children age 5 and under are free.
  • Duration: 60 minutes
  • Availability: Daily from 9 am - 5 pm
  • Purchase tickets or learn more .

TIP: Admission to Gator Park is included with the Go City Miami Pass .

Gator Park has an overall rating of 4 ½ out of 5 stars ( read reviews here ).

Most customers report that they offer a fun experience at a great price.

NOTE: Miami Double Decker offers a combo package that includes transportation to and from Gator Park for only $29.99.

If you don’t want to worry about how to get there, this is an excellent option. Read more below .

Sawgrass Recreation Park Airboat Tours

Much like its competitors, this company also offers at least one additional activity – the opportunity to hold a baby gator!

They also offer an animal exhibit with several snakes, lizards, tortoises and other native species to see.

However, this airboat tour isn’t quite as long as some of the other options in the Everglades.

At only 30 minutes long, you won’t have as much time to explore the area and take photographs.

That said, if you’re looking for a shorter excursion, this is an excellent option.

Sawgrass Recreation Park tours can be booked and purchased ahead of time online. You’ll find the park off HWY 27.

  • $26.95/Adults | $16.95/Children
  • Children under 4 get in for free.
  • Duration: 30 minutes
  • Availability: Daily from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm

NOTE: This airboat tour is included with the Go City Miami Card , a great way to save 50% or more on popular activities and attractions in the area.

Sawgrass Recreation Park has also received an overall score of 4 ½ out of 5 stars ( read reviews here ).

Few reviewers had any issues with the length of the tour, and most guests described their trip as a fun experience.

Everglades Holiday Park

This is another popular location that offers Everglades airboat tours, but they actually provide more activities than their competitors.

Rather than choosing between the opportunity to hold a baby alligator and seeing an animal show/exhibit, you can actually do both!

In addition to an alligator presentation and the chance to hold a baby alligator, you’ll also get one free professional-grade Kodak photo.

As if that weren’t good enough, this airboat tour is also 60 minutes in length, making it one of the longer options in the area.

You can book and purchase tours from Everglades Holiday Park airboat tours and rides online. The park is located right off Highway 27.

  • $38.51/Adults | $25.67/Children
  • Children under 3 get in for free

NOTE: If you're in need of transportation to and from Miami, you can get tickets that include this service for just $44/Adults and $40/Children. Purchase tickets or learn more .

TIP: This airboat tour is included with the Miami Sightseeing Pass , a service you can use to save 50% or more on popular activities.

Everglades Holiday Park currently enjoys a 4 ½ out of 5-stars rating. 

Guests describe this activity as a great way to see the Everglades in just a few hours.

Many customers feel their staff is amazing and the airboat ride is excellent.

Big Bus Tours

In addition to their hop-on hop-off Miami bus tours, this company also offers a service that will take you to the Everglades Holiday Park where you'll enjoy an airboat ride and a wildlife show.

Although the price for this activity is a bit more expensive than just a ticket to Everglades Holiday Park, this service includes transportation to and from the attraction.

This is essentially the same airboat tour as above, but it includes the price of a coach to and from the Everglades.

  • $55/Adults | $50/Children
  • Includes transportation to Everglades Holiday Park.

NOTE: This service is included for free with the Go City Miami Pass .

Since this is included with at least one Miami tourist pass, it might make sense to take advantage of this activity if you're already planning to use one of these concession services.

Big Bus currently enjoys an overall rating of 3 ½ stars out of 5 in Miami ( read reviews here ). While this might not seem great, keep in mind that the only service they're really offering here is transportation.

The airboat tour itself is still offered by Everglades Holiday Park, and they still have an overall rating of 4 ½ out of 5-stars .

Coopertown Airboats  

Coopertown Airboats claims to be the ‘original airboats since 1945’. It sure seems to be the case given the expertise of their guides and animal handlers who get rave reviews. They are 4 out of 5 stars on TripAdvisor !

They offer a 45-minute tour that doesn't require reservations, though booking in advance ensures you will get a spot on the airboat.

Your ticket includes an animal show where you can see a number of animals, most notably Big Man, their 14-foot alligator.

At the end of your experience, a group photo is taken and available for purchase. 

Unlike other tour options, there is an on-site, small-town restaurant where you can try Everglades-style frog legs, ‘gator tail, and catfish.

  • $29.95/Adults | $18.95/Children (6-11)
  • Children 5 and younger are free.
  • Duration: 45 minutes 
  • Availability: Daily from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (tours depart every 20-30 minutes)

Buffalo Tiger Airboat Tours   

This tour company is owned and operated by a native-American Miccosukee family and is able to offer a unique experience combining wildlife viewing with a culturally immersive experience.

After the airboat tour, you’ll visit a Miccosukee camp on Tear Island and take a short nature walk. 

These tours are excellent for families with children since interacting with a Native American tribe doesn't happen every day.

With 5 out of 5 stars on TripAdvisor , Buffalo Tiger Tours is impressive!

  • 45-Minute Standard Airboat Tour
  • $45/Adults | $27.50 Children (age 3- 12)\ 
  • Ages 2 and younger are free. 
  • Tours are offered daily at multiple times between 9 am and 4 pm
  • Purchase tickets or learn more.

Alternatively, you can also enjoy a combo tour which includes the kayak trip, a boat tour and a walking tour in the area.

Tour the Glades Kayak Tours

While airboat tours take a quick look around the Everglades, this kayak tour prides itself on providing a slower glide through the mangroves.

EVERGLADES SWAMP WALKS

In this section, we will provide information about some of the more interesting swamp walks you can take through the Everglades.

Everglades Nature Tours

If you want to get really close to the natural beauty of the area, this kind of tour may even take you into the water.

Of course, if you plan to do what they call a “wet walk” you’ll want to bring a change of clothes for the ride home.

These hikes are highly rated and last between 1 ½ - 2 hours.

You can schedule a private walking tour or take advantage of their cheaper semi-private walking tours instead.

  • $339 per person
  • Availability: Daily at 7:30 am

Everglades Nature Tours has a full 5 out of 5-stars rating with the major review sites ( read reviews here ).

When it comes to their nature walks, some reviewers report having a lot of fun wading (sometimes thigh-deep) in the waters of the Everglades.

Others report that during the dry season, there isn’t much walking in the water, so your experience could vary in this area.

Clyde Butcher’s Eco-Swamp Walk

If you really want to experience the Everglades up close, this tour is for you.

During a 2-hour excursion, a knowledgeable tour guide will take you through the natural beauty of the Big Cypress National Preserve.

Clyde is known for his fantastic photography, and he even offers workshops every now and then.

He is quite familiar with the Everglades and has even developed several PBS specials on the environment of Florida.

Private Guided Swamp Walk Eco Tour

  • $125 each with a minimum of 2 people
  • Duration: 1 ½ hours
  • Availability: Fri/Sat/Sun
  • Hours: 8:30 am, 11:30 am, 2:30 pm

This tour is located much further out from Miami than others, as it is pretty much smack dab in the middle of the Big Cypress National Preserve.

It might take a bit longer to get there, but reviewers have given the experience a full 5 out of 5-star rating ( read reviews here ).

There are no negative reviews of Clyde Butcher’s, so as long as you’re willing to make the trip out to see him, this tour is probably well worth the time and money invested.

Given that his company was featured in the New York Times , it’s a pretty good bet that you’re going to have a great time.

Self-Guided Everglades Swamp Walk

If you feel comfortable with going out on your own excursion on one of the many public hiking/walking/biking trails in the area, that option could be more affordable.

A self-guided experience will be only as expensive as the cost of transportation out to the area.

In addition to being less costly, some reviewers of the tours listed above have reported seeing more animal life on their own self-guided tours throughout the park than they saw at some of the above tourist locations.

Whatever choice you make, it’s important to dress appropriately and prepare for the environment you are going to enter; be safe while you’re having fun out in the Everglades!

EVERGLADES TRAM TOURS

This section will provide details about tram tours you can take in the Everglades.

Shark Valley Tram Tours

  • $48.15/Adults | $26.75/Children
  • Availability: Wed & Sat at 8:30 pm

This Everglades night tour has a rating of about 4 ½ out of 5 stars ( read reviews here ).

Customers report that they saw a lot of alligators on this tour, but that shouldn’t be too surprising because gators are actually nocturnal.

EVERGLADES TOURS FROM MIAMI

Each of these services offers transportation to and from a wildlife park that offers airboat tours, alligator shows, animal sanctuaries and other fun things to see and experience.

Xcursions USA Everglades Park: 3.5-Hour Adventure Tour

Like the Miami Double Decker tour above, your ticket includes transportation to and from your hotel to the Everglades Park, an airboat ride, and a wildlife show.

But unlike Miami Double Decker's tour, this tour is 4.5 hours long, so you do not get extra time to explore the park.

While this tour costs the same as Miami Double Decker's longer tour above, it may be worth taking this tour instead as you can count on Xcursions USA's consistently excellent reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year to visit the everglades.

The best time to visit the Everglades is from early December to April, which is the dry season. Temperatures are comfortable, there are fewer mosquitoes, and the chances of spotting wildlife are greater. On the downside, the dry season can be very busy.

When can you see alligators in the Everglades?

Alligators can be seen year-round in the Everglades, but they are more active in the rainy season as they love hotter, wetter weather. 

tour everglades from miami

How much time should you spend in the Everglades?

Unless you are coming to Miami for an extended nature trip, then you can spend a day in the Everglades and have a satisfying experience. 

In theory, you could spend just a half-day if you plan to drive out to the park, take a short airboat tour then leave, but rushing isn’t doing the Everglades justice.

Do you need reservations to take an Everglades Tour from Miami?

Not all companies require reservations for Everglades tours. But in the busy season, it is wise to reserve ahead so you don't miss out on an amazing experience.

Which Everglades tour is best: Airboat, Swamp Walk, Kayak or Tram?

Airboats have a few advantages for the casual visitor to the Everglades. They can navigate through the shallow waters so you can get up close safely to animals.

You can see more than on a kayak tour or a swamp walk. Plus, an air boat ride is exciting! fun to ride!

Swamp walks are ideal for those who want to have a highly educational experience as they will learn more details about the animals, flora, and fauna of the Everglades. Swamp walks are also eco-friendly.

tour everglades from miami

Kayaking is also eco-friendly but you will cover more than a swamp walk. Unlike airboats, kayaks are silent so are allowed to go deep into the Everglades. People who are very active and like a good workout will love a kayak tour.

A tram tour is a great option for those who want to see animals, but don’t want to get into the water. Trams are open-air so you can get up close to nature, but not too close!

Also, tram tours offer longer tours for less money than other types of tours.

The Top Everglades Airboat Swamp Tours

If you're planning a trip to Miami or Fort Lauderdale, Florida , visiting Everglades National Park should be on your to-do list. The South Florida national park is known for its expansive beauty, as well as its varied population of wildlife that includes everything from bobcats to alligators.

To see all the Everglades has to offer, sign up for a guided tour. U.S. News consulted both traveler sentiment and expert opinion to identify the top Everglades tours. Before you go, make sure you read through the National Park Service's Wildlife Viewing Ethics to keep both yourself and the animals safe during your time in the park. When choosing the best Everglades tours, we avoided recommending operators that promote wildlife shows or encourage feeding or holding the animals for photo-ops.

Visitors should plan to pay a fee to enter the park, as it may not be included in the price of the tour ticket. You should also keep in mind that many of these tour operators are located at least 30 miles west of Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Tours that run on airboats – open-air vessels with huge fans at the back that propel the boat – can be very loud. Companies will generally offer ear protection, but if you or your companions are sensitive to loud noises, contact the tour provider to discuss options before you book.

Located in Kissimmee on Lake Tohopekaliga, Marsh Landing Adventures promises travelers an in-depth look at the headwaters of the Everglades and the plants and animals that inhabit its waters. What's more, the company says it can reach areas of the Everglades that are inaccessible to larger boats because of its small crafts. Travelers give kudos to the boat captain for their educational and entertaining delivery. Many call the experience the highlight of their Florida vacation.

Tours are offered Monday through Saturday at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Reservations are required, and there is a 1% fuel surcharge added to each ticket. Marsh Landing Adventures also offers hourlong, two-hour and four-hour airboat rides.

Everglades City Airboat Tours

Price: Adults from $47; kids from $31 Duration: 1 hour

Everglades City Airboat Tours sets itself apart from other companies by offering participants two-way headsets, which allow passengers and guides to better engage with one another throughout the hourlong ride. As you navigate through narrow creeks and shallow bays, you may spot alligators, manatees and birds. Tourists enjoy the ride and appreciate the headsets. Reviewers are also complimentary of the boat captains, who they describe as entertaining and knowledgeable.

Tours depart multiple times Monday through Saturday, although timing may be modified based on the season. It's a good idea to reserve your tour in advance. Everglades City Airboat Tours is located approximately 85 miles west of Miami and 35 miles southeast of Naples, Florida.

Buffalo Tiger Airboat Tours – 45-Minute Standard Airboat Tour

Price: Adults from $45; kids from $27.50 Duration: 45 minutes

For an excursion that combines cultural immersion and wildlife viewing, consider this outing from Buffalo Tiger Airboat Tours. The Miccosukee family-owned company's standard tour focuses on introducing visitors to the homelands of the Miccosukee people: an American Indian tribe that migrated to Florida before it became a state. During the tour, you'll not only see local wildlife, but also will get to see a Miccosukee Indian camp and take a nature walk. Visitors recommend the tour, describing it as an amazing experience thanks to the small, intimate group size.

Tours run daily at multiple times between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The company also offers private outings.

Everglades River of Grass Adventures – Semi-Private River of Grass Airboat Tours Everglades

Price: Adults from $85; kids from $45 Duration: 1.5 hours

One perk of this tour is that it is capped at six to eight travelers per boat. During the excursion, you'll get the chance to see the famous flora and fauna of the Everglades, including herons and alligators. Visitors say this is a family-friendly tour and call the trip "memorable" and "amazing."

These tours run seven days a week; since they're semiprivate, you must call or email to find out the best times to depart. River of Grass Adventures also offers sunset tours of the Everglades.

Shurr Adventures Everglades – Three Hour Mangrove Tunnel Kayak Tour Small Group Adventure

Price: Adults from $109; kids from $99 Duration: 3 to 4 hours

Enjoy an up-close view of animals and nature, and get some exercise in too, on this kayak tour of the Everglades' mangroves. As you paddle your way through the mangrove tunnels, you may spot orchids, birds and, of course, alligators. Kayakers say this tour is excellent and appreciate the patient, experienced guides who share a wealth of information about the plants and animals that reside in this unique ecosystem. What's more, reviewers appreciate that the tours are limited to just eight participants.

Tours are available Monday through Saturday from August to April; times vary by season. Children must be at least 7 years old to participate. Tourgoers will enjoy three to 3.5 hours out on the water but should plan to spend a total of four hours on-site from start to finish. Shurr Adventures Everglades also offers a full-day tour of the mangrove tunnels, as well as a motorboat tour in the Ten Thousand Islands region of Everglades National Park, among other options.

Shark Valley Tram Tours

Price: Adults from $31; kids from $16 Duration: 2 hours

These naturalist-led excursions not only include a tour around Everglades National Park in an open-air tram, they also give tourgoers the chance to explore on foot. Halfway through the tour, participants can climb a 45-foot-tall observation deck to see sweeping views of the surrounding vegetation. During the two-hour tour, travelers also have the opportunity to observe a variety of wildlife. Tourgoers enjoy learning about the Everglades from the expert guides and say riding the tram is part of the fun. Many also recommended taking a morning tour to avoid the midday heat.

From mid-December through late April, tours depart on the hour daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. From May through mid-December, tours depart at 9:30 and 11 a.m. and 2 and 4 p.m. Shark Valley Tram Tours also offers self-guided bike tours. (Note that you'll have to pay a separate fee to enter Everglades National Park for any tour.)

Everglades Florida Adventures – Ten Thousand Islands Tour

Price: Adults from $59; kids from $29 Duration: 3 hours

If you're hoping to see the Everglades by boat, but want something a little quieter than an airboat ride, consider this cruise. Departing from Port of the Islands Marina in Naples, this 45-foot passenger catamaran glides across the Faka Union Canal while guides share information about the history and ecology of the area. Tourgoers report spotting lots of birds, turtles, dolphins and manatees. They also call out the insightful crew and clean, comfortable boat as highlights.

Cruises are offered Monday to Friday at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Everglades Florida Adventures also offers kayak and canoe rentals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Like any other form of transportation, riding an airboat may come with some risks. To stay safe on your Everglades airboat tour, be sure to choose a company run by experienced, professional boaters (most of which undergo special training and are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard) and adhere to all rules set forth by your guide. Parents should keep a close eye on children and be sure they are properly fitted for their life jackets, and all passengers should protect against the heat by wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated. Commercial airboats typically do not exceed speeds of 30 to 40 mph to ensure a safe, smooth ride, and most operators will reschedule your tour in the event of lightning or other inclement weather. Tour companies will also generally provide riders with proper ear protection, as the boats are quite loud.

Typically, passengers will feel the most comfortable in lightweight, sleeveless clothing and shorts while on an Everglades airboat tour. If you are taking a wintertime tour, keep an eye on the weather – pants and long sleeves may be a better option, but you likely won't need a heavy jacket. Be sure to bring sunglasses, sunscreen and water to protect yourself from the effects of the sun; you may also want a hat to provide further shade and keep hair in place. Passengers with long hair are advised to wear it in a ponytail or bun to keep it from becoming knotted in the wind. Tourgoers may also wish to apply some bug spray prior to embarking on their adventure.

Airboat tours last about an hour, though duration will depend on the tour company.

An airboat's top speed is about 30 mph.

Not normally, but you run a small risk of getting misted with water. If you take a tour when it is raining, expect to get wet.

In winter, you'll want to time your visit for midday, when it warms up. In summer, you'll want to visit in the morning or later afternoon when it's coolest. Visiting at these times can increase your chances of seeing wildlife, but you'll likely see all kinds of critters no matter when you visit year-round.
