They had launched from Tamiami Airport earlier that day but at around 10:50 a.m they were heading back to the airport when their engine failed forcing them to land.
The pilot was able to land the plane near Shark Valley Road in the Everglades, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The three people who were on board the plane are all licensed pilots.
Miami-Dade County Police, U.S. National Park Service and Miccosukee Police are investigating the incident.
