Private Family Airboat Tours Near Miami

A private family airboat tour in Miami means your own boat and a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain, with no strangers aboard. Kids 5 and under ride free. Tours leave from 5334 FL-90, just west of Miami, and run 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 hours.

Why a private boat is better with kids

Your captain sets the pace for your family, stops whenever the kids spot a gator or a bird, and can head back early if little ones get tired. There's nobody else on board to wait for.

Family airboat tour prices

Prices for two guests: 1 hour $200, 1.5 hours $275, 2 hours $375, 3 hours $575. Each additional paying guest is $60. Kids 5 and under ride free, but every child takes a seat, and most boats seat seven people.

• 2 adults + 2 kids over 5, 1 hour: $200 + (2 × $60) = $320

Best tour length by age

For young kids, a 1-hour tour is usually just right. Families with older kids often enjoy 1.5 or 2 hours to see more wildlife.

Safety on board

There's no minimum age, and babies are welcome. Every guest gets a life jacket and ear protection, because airboats are loud. All of our captains hold U.S. Coast Guard licenses and help everyone board safely. Keep hats, sunglasses and small items secured, and follow your captain's instructions at all times.

Getting here with kids

Please arrive 20–30 minutes before your tour. Private round-trip transportation is $400 per van for up to 13 people, with a 4-guest minimum and a 1.5-hour tour minimum. We don't provide child seats, so please bring any your children need and mention them when you book. See hotel transportation and directions.

Payment and cancellation

Full payment is required to book. Cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled tour for a full refund.
