Overview

Forget tourist traps! This Everglades adventure is nothing like the crowded parks or massive boats most agencies use. Travel in comfort with small-group transport in a Mercedes Sprinter or SUV, both licensed and insured.
Inside the Indian reservation, board a small open-air airboat with elevated seats—far more personal than the 50+ passenger boats. with our group(max 14 pax) enjoying a private one-hour ride not shared with other passengers. Gliding across pristine wetlands, from sawgrass prairies to cypress swamps, and stop at two private islands now home to rescued alligators and turtles cared for by the Miccosukee community.The second one is where the family lived until 1962.You have a chance to walk a short boardwalk.
Learn about the Miccosukee traditions during the ride and a short driving tour. Free time is included at the Indian handicraft store (closed Mon–Tue; alternate stop those days). Note the airboat may operate in a different park if water levels fluctuate.

Everglades

Upon arrival inside the Indian reservation, you’ll be welcomed to a Miccosukee family–run airboat base, far from the crowded tourist parks. Here begins the highlight of your adventure: in most cases, your group will enjoy a private one-hour airboat ride. You’ll board a small, open-air airboat with elevated seats designed for panoramic views. Guided by your captain, you’ll glide across miles of pristine wetlands, passing sawgrass prairies, cypress forests, and mangrove corridors. Along the way, keep an eye out for alligators, turtles, and colorful birdlife. The experience also includes stops at two private islands (hammocks). The first is home to rescued alligators and turtles cared for by the community. The second is especially meaningful: once the village where the Miccosukee family lived until 1962, it now serves as an educational site. Here you may spot the legendary “Papa Alligator” or “Mama Alligator,” and you’ll have a chance to walk along a short boardwalk.

Cool Everglades wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Everglades over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
