    Everglades Airboat Fun

    It was both educational and enjoyable. The tour lasted 90 minutes. Captain Mike provided everything we needed, including bottled water and ear protectors. During the tour, he told us many interesting facts about the Everglades, its ecosystem, and alligators. We saw several alligators up close and even saw an alligator nest with baby alligators swimming around it. We also saw several different types of plant life and canals. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Amazing!!!

    We had the absolute BEST time with Mike from Rivers of Grass Everglades Tours! It was so obvious from the moment we started that Mike had grown up around the Everglades and knows the area, the wildlife and the gators incredibly well. His knowledge and passion made the experience so much more than just an airboat ride - we learned heaps and felt like we were getting a genuine local experience. We had an incredible 1.5 hours out on the water, seeing some seriously impressive gators, including babies, and getting up close to the incredible Everglades environment. Mike was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, funny and clearly passionate about what he does. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend Rivers of Grass and especially Mike. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!

    Excellent semi-private knowledgeable tour!

    Everglades River of glass Adventures was an excellent experience! We booked one month in advance on TripAdvisor it was a true 90-minute personalized customized experience. Robbie was our tour guide and was knowledgeable & personable. I was traveling with an elderly person and they were very kind to make sure that she was comfortable. We got to see lots of birds beautiful flowers tons of baby alligators and several large alligators and really learned about the environmental conditions. I highly recommend this tour. We were staying in South Beach and arranged for a Rideshare company to drop us off they were easy to find. Our particular tour had only four of us Plus the operator it was perfect! He even had earphones and ice cold water for us.

    Great Experience

    This was an absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and lots of fun. He made sure he answered all of our questions. We saw beautiful flowers, birds, and lots of alligators big and small. Follow the directions and look for the airboat. Your guide will be watching for you.

    90 Minute Miami Everglades Semi Private Airboat Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.

    How much does 90 Minute Miami Everglades Semi Private Airboat Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $107 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Miami usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 90 Minute Miami Everglades Semi Private Airboat Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Miami is not rushed.

    Is 90 Minute Miami Everglades Semi Private Airboat Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 44 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Miami, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 90 Minute Miami Everglades Semi Private Airboat Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 90 Minute Miami Everglades Semi Private Airboat Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 90 Minute Miami Everglades Semi Private Airboat Tour?

    +

    Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Miami can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Miami and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 90 Minute Miami Everglades Semi Private Airboat Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Miami within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Miami?

    +

    Miami splits between the water and the neighbourhoods. Biscayne Bay boat tours, Key Biscayne snorkelling and Everglades airboats cover the first, while Wynwood mural walks, Little Havana food crawls and South Beach deco tours cover the second. We rank Everglades operators carefully: many depart from Miami but the good ones run their own boats rather than reselling seats. On Outty we rank every Miami experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2-Hour Miami Private Boat Tour: Skyline & Star Island, The Official Art Deco Walking Tour by The Miami Design Preservation League, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Miami?

    +

    November to April, dry season, before hurricane and humidity months. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Miami?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 90 Minute Miami Everglades Semi Private Airboat Tour?

    +

    Included: Bottled Water; and Hearing Protection. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for 90 Minute Miami Everglades Semi Private Airboat Tour?

    +

    Arrive 10 Minutes EARLY! We're located at 2ND BOAT LAUNCH (East End) look for green sign RIVER OF GRASS AIRBOAT TOURS- t. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    +

    +
