What you’ll experience

• Driving Tour Highlights: Cruise past 12 iconic Miami landmarks before arriving at the Everglades National Park entrance.
• The Airboat Ride: This isn’t your average boat trip. You’ll glide over shallow waters at surprising speeds, wind in your hair, spotting gators sunbathing along the banks. The boats are surprisingly smooth, and yes, kids absolutely love it. 🎉
• Wildlife Encounters: Keep your camera ready—alligators, crocodiles, turtles, snakes, and exotic birds all call the Everglades home.

Fun facts & travel tips

• Want to know how to tell the difference between an alligator and crocodile? Alligators have a U-shaped snout, while crocodiles sport a sharper V-shape. A little trick: “A” for alligator = a rounder snout.
• Florida is the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles live side by side in the wild.
• The Everglades is nicknamed the “River of Grass” because the water flows so slowly through endless sawgrass marshes—it’s basically a lazy river for wildlife.
• Weird but true: Burmese pythons here can grow longer than a tour van. The record is 17 feet and 350 pounds! 🐍
