Everglades: Sawgrass Park Day Time Airboat Tour & Exhibits
🏎 Why We Picked This
gygBest on Friday morning before Practice 1 (depart by 10:00 to be back by 12:30) or Sunday morning before the Race (plenty of buffer before 16:00). The ~40-minute tour plus ~45 minutes each way drive is tight but doable. No other race on the calendar puts you this close to airboats and alligators — it's a quintessentially Miami experience that amplifies the exotic setting of the Miami GP.

Good to know
Your reservation is for a window of arrival and not a boat departure time. Upon arrival, check in with any of our clerks and you will be assigned to the next boat boarding. We have limited accessibility for guests who are handicapped. The boats are not wheelchair accessible but our exhibits are. If you are able to comfortably take a step down into our boats or have a family member help you into and out of the boat, you will be able to enjoy the boat ride. Upon check-in, please let our clerks know that you will need additional time to board the boat and we will be sure to let the captain know so you will be escorted to the front of the line and given time to get comfortable. If you are apprehensive about having to get into the boat comfortably, you can still enjoy our animal exhibits! The exhibit area is a gravel walkway. We have a wheelchair we can lend you at no cost for the exhibit area.
Getting there
Your reservation is for your check-in time and not the boat departure time. It is not necessary to check in early.

A 4pm time slot will allow you time to see the Alligator & Reptile Exhibit and you will board the last boat departing at 5pm.
