Gators Up Close: The Most Exciting Everglades Tour Miami Has To Offer

Imagine locking eyes with a ten-foot Florida gator- the sunshine state's very own ancestral dinosaur. Or how about taking in a live show as Animal Planet's renowned "Gator Boys" show you firsthand what it's like to wrestle an alligator with no fear.

Here's a peek at what you can expect to experience during the most exciting Everglades tour Miami has to offer.

South Florida's Dinosaur

Believe it or not, alligators and dinosaurs may have evolved from a common ancestor. Despite being classified as reptiles, the modern day alligator is closely related to birds, whose direct ancestors are dinosaurs. Florida alligators have been known to reach up to 1000 pounds and some span 10 feet or more. There's nothing quite like seeing these amazing animals up close- clearly an experience you're not likely to forget. South Florida's ancestral dinosaur is just one of many thrills you'll experience when you take an Everglades airboat tour.

Glide Across a River of Grass

Where do alligators live? In the Everglades of course, and airboat tours are the perfect way to see them and a wide range of other incredible animals in their natural habitat- the Everglades ecosystem. With covered airboat tours, you can relax while a knowledgeable tour guide narrates the sights and sounds of this amazing adventure.  It's non-stop fun, but with so much to see and learn, an airboat tour is educational as well- and that's always a plus. For thrill seekers, folks looking for an adventure and anyone simply wanting to have a blast in the fresh air and sunshine, gliding across a river of grass in a covered airboat is just about one of the coolest things to do in South Florida.

Experience a Live Gator Show

These guys aren't fooling around, and that's exactly why so many people look forward to the live shows. It's heart stopping to be mere feet away from one of the most intimidating animals known to man- but incredible to watch these guys handle them with such grace and expertise. Taking in a live gator show with the family is absolutely one experience you can put on the bucket list more than once.
