Everglades
Upon arrival inside the Miccosukee Indian Reservation, you'll be welcomed at a family-run airboat base, far from the crowded tourist parks. Here begins the highlight of your adventure: in most cases, your group will enjoy a semi-private airboat ride lasting approximately 1 to 1 hour 20 minutes, reserved exclusively for our guests.
Board a small open-air airboat with elevated seating and glide through pristine wetlands, sawgrass prairies, cypress forests, and mangrove corridors. Watch for alligators, turtles, and colorful native birds along the way.
The experience includes stops at two private tree islands (hammocks). The first 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 may spot the famous "Papa Alligator" or "Mama Alligator" and enjoy a short walk along a wooden boardwalk.
