Packages and Prices

Airboat Tours

Adults $20.00 / Kids $10.00 (This rate includes park admission, airboat ride and 
wildlife show)

Narrated tours with professional guides let you experience the unique natural beauty of the Everglades. See alligator nests, an Indian fish camp and observe wildlife in their natural habitat. Tour Information in English, Espanol, Nederlands, Francais, Deutsch and Italiano. Free Gator gift with tour and children under 6 are free.

The Gator Park Airboat Tour begins slowly down  the canal with plenty of opportunity to observe  wildlife in its natural habitat. Our experienced and professional guides will help you spot alligators,  both large adult and small immature alligators,  soft-shelled turtles and numerous birds (be sure  to keep your camera ready). One of the first  alligators you are likely to spot is Jumbo. An  impressive 6 feet in length, Jumbo likes to play  host and greet Gator Park’s guests. 

We’ll also pass a replica of a common fishing  camp used by Indians, a structure made of palm  and cypress wood, called a chickee.  Then, we’ll pick up speed and head for the river of grass. We’ll take you where the saw grass  grows tall, giving the appearance of an open  prairie stretching for miles on end. Out here  there is no dry land, except for the tree covered  islands called hammocks. On these hammocks  you can find mammals such as raccoons,  whitetail deer and wild boar.

The Everglades was coined "The River of Grass"  by Marjory Stoneman Douglas in 1969 because  the water is not stagnant like that in swamps,  but instead travels very slowly from north to  south. The Everglades is one of the world's  largest and slowest flowing rivers.

The water isn’t too deep, averaging only eight  to twelve inches, depending on the rainfall. It  is also as warm as bath water, about 85-90 degrees at high noon during the summer.  Because the water pertains to a wetland  system, you’ll notice that is also clean  and odorless. 

Gator Park's airboats, all sporting Cadillac  engines and high performance airplane propellers. Tours depart from our docks every 20-30 minutes throughout the day!
