Miami Everglades Tour Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the airboat portion of the Miami Everglades tour?
The airboat tour is a 45 minute ride through the Everglades.

Is this experience appropriate for guests of all ages?
Yes, however, I don’t recommend infants under 1-2 years old. The airboat is very loud and babies don’t like to keep the ear protection on.

Do you have any recommendations for guests who reserve a day with you?
Yes. Bring plenty of sunscreen and don’t forget your camera. Also, prepare for a long day as it takes 3 hours to reach the Miami Everglades.

Is the airboat tour open to handicap patrons?
As long as the guest can get out of the wheelchair and step into the boat. Drivers and guides cannot assist anyone who cannot get out of the chair. It’s a small step from the boat dock into the airboat.

What are guests NOT allowed to bring aboard the boat?
No food or drinks are allowed on the airboat.

How long is the Star Island cruise portion of the tour?
The boat tour operates for 1 ½ hours. It takes you through the harbor and past the homes of the rich and famous including Star Island, Al Capone Island, and Fisher Island.

How long does the entire one day tour last, approximately?
The last pick up is at 7:15am. They depart Miami at 6:45pm which will put them back into Orlando approx 10:30pm. So I would say the total day last approx 14-15 hrs.
