Just 50 kilometers from Miami, this UNESCO World Heritage site delivers an unforgettable airboat ride through its iconic wetlands. Earplugs in to drown out the propeller's roar, you'll glide over reeds and water lilies hunting for alligators. Secure your cap and sunglasses against the blazing sun and darting dragonflies, and let out a whoop as the first gator surfaces.
These impressive reptiles circle your boat gracefully, striking poses for photos without any menace. Timid baby alligators scramble under mangroves as you draw near. Our expert ranger from Gator Park explained that the Everglades is uniquely the only place worldwide where alligators and fiercer crocodiles coexist naturally. We were glad to skip the crocs on our excursion!
