“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!"

Tampa, Florida must do

Alligator Cove's airboat tour was lots of fun. The scenery is beautiful, the wildlife plentiful, and we saw several gators. Come on down and have some fun! It's an enjoyable ride.

Our family that lives in Florida recommended to us that we should go to Alligator Cove to ride the Airboat tour... What they didn't tell us was that it wasn't any normal airboat tour... Captain Darald took us on an adventure over land and sea to see the best sights, biggest alligators, and rarest finds. He even gave me a souvenir, a giant snail shell. This is definitely one adventure I'm willing to repeat... multiple times.

The real deal. We all had a great time. The airboat ride was a blast. We saw plenty of gators and some new wildlife we had never seen. Well worth it.

The people at Alligator Cove were kind, fun, and they truly know their stuff. Our hour long airboat ride we saw and learned many things: Plenty of gators for one; rare and almost extinct bird; and we heard great stories of how this region of Florida was the home to the first cows in America. Darald, our tour guide was full of knowledge about the area and its inhabitants (A.K.A. Gators). He was nice and engaging. This tour easily earns 5 stars.

We headed out on time exactly 4:30, the last ride of the day. Captain Darald had us excited and ready for a good time immediately. The ride itself was full of beautiful trees and exotic birds. We saw eight alligators! As we came back we got great sites of the sunset on the swampy water. I'd recommend this for anyone willing for a good time and great views.

Captain Darald was a wonderful captain. My husband and I took off on a drive on Dec. 28th, 2016 and just happened upon the Alligator Cove Airboat Nature Tours we decided to try a tour and had a great time. Beautiful scenery, wildlife and a fun ride. We are hoping to come back on our next vacation and bring our grown children. Thanks for a great time!!

WE’LL TAKE YOU ON A THRILLING RIDE DOWN THE WITHLACOOCHEE RIVER AND  THROUGH THE SWAMPS LOOKING FOR THE FLORIDA ALLIGATOR!

The 9 best everglades airboat and swamp tours.

See much more than alligators during one of these exciting trips.

The Top Everglades Airboat & Swamp Tours

Getty Images

If you're planning a trip to Miami or Fort Lauderdale, Florida , visiting Everglades National Park should be on your to-do list. The South Florida national park is known for its expansive beauty, as well as its varied population of wildlife that includes everything from bobcats to alligators.

To see all the Everglades has to offer, sign up for a guided tour. U.S. News consulted both traveler sentiment and expert opinion to identify the top Everglades tours. Before you go, make sure you read through the National Park Service's Wildlife Viewing Ethics to keep both yourself and the animals safe during your time in the park. When choosing the best Everglades tours, we avoided recommending operators that promote wildlife shows or encourage feeding or holding the animals for photo-ops.

Visitors should plan to pay a fee to enter the park, as it may not be included in the price of the tour ticket. You should also keep in mind that many of these tour operators are located at least 30 miles west of Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Tours that run on airboats – open-air vessels with huge fans at the back that propel the boat – can be very loud. Companies will generally offer ear protection, but if you or your companions are sensitive to loud noises, contact the tour provider to discuss options before you book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Like any other form of transportation, riding an airboat may come with some risks. To stay safe on your Everglades airboat tour, be sure to choose a company run by experienced, professional boaters (most of which undergo special training and are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard) and adhere to all rules set forth by your guide. Parents should keep a close eye on children and be sure they are properly fitted for their life jackets, and all passengers should protect against the heat by wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated. Commercial airboats typically do not exceed speeds of 30 to 40 mph to ensure a safe, smooth ride, and most operators will reschedule your tour in the event of lightning or other inclement weather. Tour companies will also generally provide riders with proper ear protection, as the boats are quite loud.

Typically, passengers will feel the most comfortable in lightweight, sleeveless clothing and shorts while on an Everglades airboat tour. If you are taking a wintertime tour, keep an eye on the weather – pants and long sleeves may be a better option, but you likely won't need a heavy jacket. Be sure to bring sunglasses, sunscreen and water to protect yourself from the effects of the sun; you may also want a hat to provide further shade and keep hair in place. Passengers with long hair are advised to wear it in a ponytail or bun to keep it from becoming knotted in the wind. Tourgoers may also wish to apply some bug spray prior to embarking on their adventure.

Airboat tours last about an hour, though duration will depend on the tour company.

An airboat's top speed is about 30 mph.

Not normally, but you run a small risk of getting misted with water. If you take a tour when it is raining, expect to get wet.

In winter, you'll want to time your visit for midday, when it warms up. In summer, you'll want to visit in the morning or later afternoon when it's coolest. Visiting at these times can increase your chances of seeing wildlife, but you'll likely see all kinds of critters no matter when you visit year-round.
