2Everglades
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.
