Wooten's Everglades Airboat Tour and Swamp Buggy
Wooten's Everglades Airboat Tour and Swamp Buggy
Airboat Tour
Our Everglades airboat tour lasts 30-35 minutes and all ages are welcome. Our airboat dock is handicap accessible, but wheelchairs can’t be loaded onto the airboat. If anyone in your party is using a wheelchair, please be sure they can move from the wheelchair onto the airboat.
Feel the expansive beauty of the unique Everglades grasslands as you glide along the water in a Wooten’s airboat! Our Everglades airboat tour gives you the best experience:
- Ride in safety with experienced captains who know how to show you a good time
- Escape into 259 acres of private grasslands, away from the traffic of other airboats
- Learn about animals, plants, and area history from our knowledgeable captains
- Stay together in the same airboat even if you have more than 6 in your party
- See wild alligators, birds, and other animals–if Mother Nature is willing!
Swamp Buggy
A swamp buggy has powerful tractor tires and an open, elevated platform with seating for up to 20 people. It travels over dry land and muddy marshes, giving you a great vantage point to see plants and animals an airboat can’t reach. Wooten’s Swamp Buggy Tour is perfect for:
- Slowing down and taking in the beautiful scenery of a lush cypress forest
- Spotting wild alligators, birds, deer, or bears–if Mother Nature is willing!
- Seeing a Native American campsite and burial ground
- Learning about the Everglades from your experienced tour guide
- Catching a glimpse of nesting bald eagles–if you’re lucky!
- Finding wild manatees in Manatee Pond (more likely in November-April)
When you come all the way to the Everglades, you want to see alligators and other animals, right? Of course!
There’s a good chance you’ll see alligators and other wild animals on our airboat and swamp buggy tours, but Mother Nature makes no guarantees. That’s where our Animal Sanctuary & Alligator Park comes in! It’s home to animals like:
- Two tigers
- Two lions
- Otters
- Turtles
- Crocodiles
- Over 100 alligators, from babies to giants
Alligators. They’re exciting! They’re mysterious! They’re dangerous! They’re an Everglades must-see!
There’s no better way to get up-close and personal with alligators than to watch one of our professional alligator handlers put on a live alligator show right in front of you. Our handlers will:
- Show you the power and beauty of these magnificent creatures
- Share their expert knowledge of alligators with you
- Entertain you with their years of skill
- Let you hold and hug your own alligator!
Cost includes transportation, excursion fees, and tips. It does not include any food or drink.
