18 Mar - Day Trips: Everglades

Miami Miami Local Guides

Not far from our Art Deco outpost within the urban sprawl of Miami Beach exists the expansive wetlands of the Everglades and the vast array of exotic animals that call it home. Gator Park and its passionate crew also call this giant marsh home, and lucky for us, they live for introducing their adventure-seeking patrons to the Everglades in the most adrenaline-pumping way imaginable:

Airboat Tours

This wild ride brings you face-to-face (literally) with Florida’s well-known American alligators before zipping you across the wetlands of the Everglades. Keep your eyes peeled and cameras ready!

There’s a lot to see in the Everglades, but there’s also a lot to hear. Gator Park’s quirky, knowledgeable crew have a lot of interesting facts to share about this unique place and its inhabitants.

Wildlife Shows

Two words: alligator wrestling. Along with front row seats to a real alligator wrestling match (featuring one very well-behaved American gator), prepare to get up close and personal with a number of other exotic animals during Gator Park’s Wildlife Show.

So who’s in? Day trips to the Everglades are $45 (which includes roundtrip transportation) and take place every Thursday from approximately 1-5:30pm. Be sure to reserve your spot at the front desk!
