“There is something about flying down narrow alleys of mangrove trees that is just a rush. I could never get tired of it. The guides always give more than just a ride. You learn so much about the Everglades and the total ecosystem that it is. We most certainly will be back!

—C. from Florida

“The mangrove tour was so much fun! We saw a family of dolphins swimming along the boat, several alligators, and a few fish jumping out of the water. Riding through the mangroves was beautiful and a fun way to see the Everglades. I would recommend to anyone.”

—J. from Massachusetts

“We really enjoyed seeing the alligators. The captain of the airboat gave a lot of information about the Everglades and habitat. The addition of the two-way headsets let us all communicate during the tour. This was really a highlight of having friends down visiting us new Florida residents. Plan to bring other guests."

—K. from Florida

“We did the combo package and it was amazing! Great way to experience all 3 ways to 'see' the Everglades! Would highly recommend. All the captains for each segment were fantastic! Had a great time!"

Miami Swampland Airboat Tours

Near homestead, florida take a ride to the everglades.

Take an airboat ride in the Florida Everglades swampland, an ecosystem unlike any other in the world. Similar ecosystems, such as the Amazon, Nile Basin, and the Mississippi River Delta all differ from one another in many ways. One unifying factor, however, is the presence of significant freshwater rainfall near an ocean or other saltwater body. This flow of fresh water from rivers into salt water creates a mixture called brackish water. Brackish water plays host to a wide variety of flora and fauna found in the Florida Everglades and creates the environment which visitors to the Miami Airboat Tours will find so fascinating.

Miamia Airboat Rides

• October Activities in the Everglades

As a private Everglades airboat company, we know a lot about the Everglades and we love to hear about all the fun activities people do within this beautiful ecosystem (besides jump on an airboat ride, that is!) For this article, we wanted to share with you some fun activities for you to do in the Everglades on a trip during October.

• Be A Park Employee for a Day Through Geocaching

Want to be an Everglades National Park Employee for a day? You can! You can try out managing the Park through the “Park Employee for a Day Geocache Trail.” This trail is comprised of 5 caches from the Main Park Road to Flamingo. The caches each have their own real-world case study for you to figure out how you would deal with a certain issue. Then, you log what you find and your thoughts. This is an ideal chance for you to share your thoughts on the Park.

What is geocaching? It’s a real-world outdoor treasure hunt.  Geocaching is a game where players must locate hidden containers (called geocaches) using a GPS-enabled device while sharing their experience online. For the park ranger geocaching trails, your treasures are the case studies.

• Native and Invasive Species in the Everglades

The Everglades is packed with animal species, good and “bad.” Unfortunately, there are a lot of invasive species roaming the Everglades who are harming the native species and disrupting that natural order of things.

There are seemingly endless species of birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and mammals in the Everglades with so much information to share on them. But for this article, we wanted to share just a few basic facts about the native and invasive species in the Park.

• Explore by Foot on the Everglades’ Trails

The Everglades is vast! So, where do you begin? Although zipping through the wetland on an airboat tour is an amazing way to explore the area, there are several hiking and biking trails in the Everglades National Park that are worth the walk!

When exploring the Everglades by foot, the Park asks visitors to pay attention to the weather, wear proper attire, bring water, and leave pets at home.

We wanted to share with you a few trails that allow you to explore the flora and fauna of the Park.

• Learn About Science and Research in the Everglades

Typical cypress forest in Everglades National Park, Florida

The Everglades is a scientist’s dream. There is so much to explore, research, track, and investigate in the River of Grass. Research is occurring in the Everglades year-round. From climate change to animals, researchers are learning more about this special Park.

What type of research is occurring in the Park? The South Florida Natural Resources Center (SFNRC) conducts science, which informs the management of the south Florida national park units. Such programs include: wildlife, hydrology, water quality, restoration, invasive plants, and animals. This organization gives out research permits to those who are interested in conducting research from universities, and non-governmental organizations and agencies. The Park gives out permits to support and encourage natural and social science studies with the hope that these studies will help with our understanding of the park’s resources, and how its usage affects/impacts the ecosystem.
