Getting Ready for Your Miami Airboat Tour
Exploring the Everglades by airboat is one of the most unforgettable things to do in South Florida. Whether you choose our 60-minute airboat tour ($39.99 per person) or our private airboat experience ($449 for up to 4 guests, plus $50 for each additional), a little preparation goes a long way. You don’t need special gear or clothing—just a few smart essentials to stay comfortable and ready for adventure in the Florida Everglades.
What to Wear for Your Everglades Adventure
Dress for comfort and the warm, tropical Miami climate. Light layers and breathable fabrics are ideal, and casual is always best.
- Summer: A soft T-shirt, shorts, and shoes you don’t mind getting a little wet—sneakers, sandals, or flip-flops all work well.
- Winter: Lightweight jeans or pants, a long-sleeve shirt, and sneakers. Bring a light jacket for early mornings or cooler breezes on the water.
- Rain: A poncho or compact raincoat will keep you dry during brief tropical showers common in South Florida.
Staying Comfortable in the Miami Sunshine
- Sunglasses: Polarized lenses help reduce glare and make it easier to see wildlife through the reflection on the water.
- Sunscreen: Apply before your tour and bring extra if you’re spending more time outdoors afterward. Miami sunshine can be intense even on cloudy days.
- Bug Repellent: Mosquitoes and other insects are part of the Everglades ecosystem. A quick spray before boarding makes your ride more pleasant.
Helpful Items to Bring Along
- Water: Hydration is key in the Florida heat. Our airboats carry coolers with bottled water, but you can also bring your own beverage.
- Snacks: Light snacks are fine to pack, but please do not feed wildlife under any circumstances.
- Camera or Phone: You’ll want to capture close-up views of alligators, colorful birds, and the endless Everglades landscape.
- Binoculars: Optional, but a great tool for spotting animals from a distance across the marsh.
