Hotel Pickup in Miami Beach.Private Everglades Airboat.
Leave the car at the hotel. We pick you up in South Beach, drive you west to the Everglades, and put your group on a private airboat with its own captain. Then we bring you back.
How Hotel Pickup Works
Most Miami Beach visitors don’t have a car, and the Everglades aren’t on any bus line. So we come to you.
Pick your tour
Choose a 1.5 hour, 2 hour or sunset private airboat tour. Book online or call, and we confirm your pickup time and address.
We pick you up
A private ride from your hotel, rental or home, anywhere from South Beach down to Kendall. About 45 minutes west, longer at rush hour. No parking, no directions.
Ride, then ride back
Your group gets its own airboat and captain, plus an ice-filled cooler and water. When the tour ends, we drive you back to where we found you.

This Is Not the Five-Minute Tourist Loop
An hour from the Art Deco strip, the city stops. Your captain opens it up across the sawgrass, then kills the engine wherever the wildlife is. The wild side of Miami that most beach visitors never see.
Alligators up close
Gators, turtles and wading birds, often just inches from the side of the boat.
Real, open Everglades
Miles of sawgrass and open water. No fenced ponds, no staged shows.
Captains who know the water
Guides who answer every question and stop whenever there is something worth watching.
The Everglades in Vice Colors
Pink sky, violet water, the sawgrass going gold. Spend the morning on the beach and the evening on the Everglades.
