2.Everglades National Park Biologist Led Adventure: Cruise, Hike + Airboat

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 685 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes to 10 hours (approx.) · from $295Top rated

Spend 9.5 to 10 hours exploring the Everglades with a small group and a master naturalist. Ride an airboat into the River of Grass, walk in Big Cypress, cruise the Ten Thousand Islands, visit a Miccosukee tree island village, and enjoy local lunch. Guides such as Ryan, Addie, Lindsay, and Stacey are known for sharp wildlife spotting and clear explanations.

“The experience took place in January. Unfortunately the water levels were low preventing the boating portions of the outing to go to a number of areas in the ten thousand island area and also we couldn’t go into the sawgrass on an airboat. This was completely out of the control of the operators but was personally disappointing because I really wanted to ride through the sawgrass. Nevertheless, the experience was very enjoyable overall despite frigid weather conditions (yes, mid-30’s in the Everglades). The tour guide, Ryan, was very knowledgeable, had interesting facts to share and had a good pace to the outing.”
