Everglades - Upon reaching the Miccosukee Indian Reservation, you’ll be greeted at a family-operated airboat base, away from the bustling tourist areas. Here, the highlight of your adventure begins: typically, your group will enjoy a semi-private airboat ride lasting about 1 to 1 hour 20 minutes, exclusively reserved for our guests.
Board a small open-air airboat with elevated seating and glide through untouched wetlands, sawgrass prairies, cypress forests, and mangrove corridors. Keep an eye out for alligators, turtles, and vibrant native birds along the way.
The experience includes visits to two private tree islands (hammocks). The first island is home to rescued alligators and turtles cared for by the community. The second, once a Miccosukee family village, now serves as a cultural and educational site. Here, you might encounter the renowned “Papa Alligator” or “Mama Alligator” and enjoy a brief walk along a wooden boardwalk. - Miccosukee Indian Village - Before heading back to Miami, we’ll stop at the modern Miccosukee Service Plaza, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore local souvenirs, purchase snacks and drinks, or use the restrooms. The experience concludes with a short scenic drive through the Miccosukee Indian Reservation, offering a glimpse into the community and its unique Everglades environment.
- Miami - After the tour, enjoy a convenient drop-off at your hotel or any preferred location in Downtown Miami or Miami Beach.
