Miami: Everglades Airboat Eco Tour w/ Luxury Transportation – Shark Valley, Florida
Discover the diverse local ecosystem on a scenic Everglades airboat trip. Enjoy a transfer from your Miami hotel to visit the Everglades and the Indian reservation.
EXPERIENCE:
Forget about tourist traps! You found one of the best and most affordable Everglades Eco tour.
Through this shared tour we will take you to the real Everglades , and offering a rare opportunity to explore one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, not to a overcrowded tourist trap park used by most of the tour agencies, never mentioned clearly. You will have the real Airboat experience by getting onboard an “open air” airboat usually with a small group of passengers and not on an overcrowded airboat ( 60% of times just as a private airboat ride at the price of a shared tour). A visit to an old indian village is usually included during the ride. Moreover the airboat covers more than 8 miles of this unique environment made of natural marshes ( not just circling over a short distance as it happens in the more commercial parks).
The Everglades, the largest subtropical wilderness in the U.S., often called the ” River of Grass” is a unique and diverse ecosystem made up of sawgrass marshes, mangrove forests, cypress swamps, and a network of slow-moving rivers.
You will explore the real wilderness and admiring the abundant wildlife like alligators, turtles, and many different species of birds and wading birds.
You will travel in the comfort of a Premium Suv Suburban and that is another perk of our tour. Your certified driver/guide will provide with a live narrative on board in the language of your choice, while the pilot onboard will always speak in English.
We will also drive inside the Indian reservation, a unique opportunity to learn about the history, culture and traditions of the Seminoles and Miccosukee Tribe. No animal show with this tour as because we do not support animal abuse which often happens through the so called ” Alligator shows”.
So, with this tour you would have the opportunity to :
1) Visiting the Everglades and taking a 40 minutes shared Airboat Ride tour onboard a real open-air airboat(not a roofed 50+ seat touristic airboat) with elevated seats for a better view, gliding over natural marshes ( not man-made canals).
3) Free time to visit the Miccosukee Indian reservation handicraft store ( except on monday and tuesday).
4) Top notch service – small groups – travelling in the comfort, safety and class of a 2023 Chevrolet Suburban with free Wi-FI always available.
