Private Everglades Airboat Tour Cost Miami: 2026 Price Guide
Planning guide by Airboat Adventures Everglades.
A private daytime Everglades airboat tour with Airboat Adventures Everglades starts at $200 for the first two guests for one hour. Each additional guest is $60, and children 5 and under ride free on listed airboat tours. Longer trips, sunrise and sunset departures, and night outings have different published prices. This guide explains the price basis so you can compare the whole outing, rather than a starting number without its details.
The business operates its primary website at FloridaTourCompany.com. Airboat departures meet at 5334 FL-90, Miami, FL 33185. A reservation request is followed by confirmation from the team; submitting a preferred time does not by itself guarantee that departure.

Children 5 and under ride free on these listed airboat tours. Tell the operator about every person joining, including children who qualify for the offer. A free child still needs to be included when the team plans the group’s boat and safety arrangements. For groups larger than six, call 305-766-1929 to discuss the booking.
These are prices for the stated private outing, starting with two guests. They are not individual seat prices. A solo traveler should ask the team to confirm the total for the requested private departure rather than dividing the two-guest price and assuming a single ticket is available. Our boat is reserved for your group, with a captain.
Work out your group’s base price
For the listed daytime options, begin with the price for your chosen duration. Add $60 for each additional paying guest beyond the first two. Apply the published free-child offer to children 5 and under, and confirm any optional services separately. The team should confirm the final total and payment terms before you commit.
For example, four guests older than five taking the one-hour private daytime ride have a base tour total of $320: $200 for the first two and $120 for the other two. The same four guests on the two-hour daytime option have a base total of $495. Neither example includes optional transportation or a separate wildlife experience.
A family with two adults and one child aged five falls within the published $200 one-hour starting price, subject to the confirmed reservation details. If that child is six, the published additional-guest charge applies instead. Share the ages when you inquire, especially if several families are booking together and one person is collecting payment from everyone else.
What does a longer tour change?
The duration is the most straightforward difference: you are choosing more time on the water. A one-hour outing can fit a shorter day, while a longer reservation leaves more time to experience the wetlands and ask questions. Do not treat a longer ride as a promise of a particular animal, fixed route or number of stops.
Wildlife is free to move, and the captain works with the conditions on the day. If you are deciding between durations, describe what matters to you: scenery, time outdoors, photography or an introduction for your family. Ask how the available options fit those interests. A longer reservation should suit your group’s comfort as well as your budget.
Sunrise, sunset and night prices
Sunrise and sunset tours are published at $275 for one hour, $375 for 1.5 hours and $475 for two hours. Night tours are published at $375 for 1.5 hours and $475 for two hours. These prices cover the first two guests, with additional guests at $60 each and the listed airboat free-child policy applying.
See the sunrise, sunset and night tour page before choosing. A sunset booking is organized around changing light, so confirm the departure time for your actual date. A night outing is an after-dark experience, rather than a daytime trip with an identical view. Pick the atmosphere you want, then compare the applicable duration and total.
What is included, and what is separate?
Cold water, life jackets and hearing protection are provided on airboat tours. Your group has its own boat and captain. Review the trip details and ask about any special preparation needs before arriving. Bring every traveler’s age and any boarding requirements into the booking conversation, rather than waiting until the boat is ready to depart.
Optional private transportation is listed at $400 for up to 14 guests, with a minimum of four people and an airboat outing of at least 1.5 hours. It is charged separately from the tour. Confirm your exact pickup address, return arrangements and combined price. The one-hour daytime option should not be assumed to qualify for this pickup arrangement.
A private wildlife encounter is also a separate booking: two hours starting at $550 for four guests, plus $60 per additional guest, at another location. Do not combine the airboat child policy with wildlife pricing unless the operator explicitly confirms it. Fishing, buggy tours and guided hunts likewise have their own prices, requirements and meeting instructions.
Compare private and shared prices fairly
Start with the entire group’s cost and the actual time on the boat. Shared operators may advertise individual tickets, while our listed private starting price includes the first two guests. Compare inclusions, duration, child policies and transport separately. A price alone cannot tell you how many people will share your departure or how much time is spent riding.
Our private-versus-shared guide explains the booking differences without inventing competitors’ rates. Private is not automatically cheaper for every traveler. It offers a boat reserved for your group, which may matter more to your plans than the lowest individual ticket price.
