Airboat Ride with 360° Spins
From Miami
Since 1992
There’s no better way to experience the Everglades than from the seat of an airboat. Glide across the waters, feel the power of the engine, and immerse yourself in the unique ecosystem that makes South Florida unlike anywhere else.
At Everglades Alligator Farm, the oldest alligator farm in South Florida, every ride comes with a little extra adventure, including our signature 360° airboat spins that you won’t find anywhere else in the area.
Whether you join our Airboat + General Admission experience or book a private adventure, you’ll discover the excitement, beauty, and wild spirit of the Everglades.
Airboats depart once every hour at 20 minutes past the hour, from 9:20 AM through 5:20 PM. No reservation is needed for the standard ride. Just check in at the front desk, and we'll put you on the next available airboat.
Online tickets are not reservations for a specific departure time. To enjoy the airboat ride, both shows, and the farm, please arrive before 3:00 PM.
Both rides include the signature 360° spins, live alligator shows, and access to the farm. The difference is the boat and who’s on it.
Our signature combo: a shared airboat ride through the wetlands plus all day access to the park, the shows, and every exhibit. Hop on the next departure when you arrive.
Your own boat, your own captain, and a longer ride at your group’s pace. Perfect for families, celebrations, photographers, and anyone who wants the wetlands to themselves.
Want the whole farm to yourself? The VIP Experience pairs a private airboat ride with private animal encounters and your own guide.
Airboats are loud. Complimentary ear protection is provided for every guest when boarding.
There are no dry seats on the boat. Secure your valuables and dress comfortably for a splash.
Guests of all ages are welcome. Children 5 and under are required to wear a life vest, that we will provide at the boat dock.
Sightings are never guaranteed, but guests often spot alligators, fish, turtles, birds, and other native wildlife along the way.
About 20 minutes, including a slow ride portion and a high speed portion with 360 degree spins for excitement.
Absolutely! There are no dry seats on the boat, and splashes are part of the adventure.
No reservation is needed for the standard airboat ride. Just arrive and we’ll schedule you for the next available departure. An online ticket or voucher is not a reservation for a specific time. Reservations are recommended for private airboat tours and the VIP Experience.
We welcome all ages, but please note that the boats are loud, and some small children may be sensitive to the noise. Life vests are provided for children 5 and under.
Comfortable clothes that can get wet. Sunglasses and hats are optional, and sunscreen is highly recommended. Food and drinks are not allowed on the boat.
Airboat rides are subject to weather conditions. For lightning or unsafe conditions, rides may be delayed, rescheduled, or partially refunded. Our team monitors the weather closely to keep every guest safe.
