Miami: Everglades Airboat, Wildlife Exhibit & Roundtrip Bus

Leave the city behind and step into the wild heart of Florida with this unforgettable Everglades adventure at Sawgrass Recreation Park. With convenient and comfortable Big Bus transportation from Miami, your journey is smooth, stress-free, and packed with value from start to finish.

Your adventure begins as you board a powerful airboat and glide across miles of open river at thrilling speeds of up to 40 mph. Feel the wind rush past as you skim over shimmering water and endless sawgrass prairies. Along the way, your experienced captain shares stories about the Everglades — Florida's most remarkable natural treasure — bringing this unique ecosystem to life. Watch carefully for native wildlife in their natural habitat, from sunbathing alligators to wading birds and turtles slipping beneath the surface.

After your airboat ride, continue the excitement at the park's reptile sanctuary. Home to over 50 adopted and rescued reptiles, the exhibit features tortoises, iguanas, monitors, and a variety of exotic snakes. Step closer to history as you meet the original “dinosaur,” the Florida alligator. Learn about Cannibal, the park's impressive 1,000-pound alligator, and discover how these fascinating creatures survive in the wild.

Don't miss the interactive “Meet a Baby Alligator” experience — a perfect photo opportunity and a highlight for visitors of all ages. Engaging presentations are included throughout the exhibit areas, making this tour both educational and entertaining.
