The Florida Everglades Adventure Package is an attraction based at Sawgrass Recreation Park, located off U.S. 27 near Fort Lauderdale, giving visitors access to one of North America's most significant wetland ecosystems. The Everglades stretch across roughly 1.5 million acres of South Florida, and Sawgrass Recreation Park sits at the northern edge of this protected landscape, making it one of the more accessible entry points from Miami attractions and the broader South Florida area. The package is available in standard and Deluxe tiers, each built around a 40-minute airboat ride through the glades.

The airboat ride covers open water and sawgrass prairie, with guides pointing out native wildlife including wading birds, turtles, and Florida alligators in their natural habitat. Back on land, the exhibit areas feature rescued reptiles and a live alligator encounter, including the opportunity to handle a baby alligator. The Gator Grill on site serves tacos, burgers, and snacks. Entry covers park admission, the airboat ride, ear protection, a bottle of water, and a photo souvenir keychain. The Deluxe package adds a 15-dollar Gator Grill credit, a bag of uncut gems redeemable at the Sawgrass Mining Co. exhibit, and a gator tooth souvenir. Wheelchair access is not available, and the experience does not offer free cancellation.

Good to know

Know before you go: Arrival and timing
Arrive a little ahead of your booked time to check in, collect any included items, and get your bearings before the airboat ride departs. The park is located on U.S. 27, so allow enough time for the drive, particularly if you are travelling from central Miami or Fort Lauderdale.
Getting around the venue
Sawgrass Recreation Park combines an airboat boarding area with open-air exhibit zones where rescued reptiles are on display. Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes suitable for outdoor walkways, and dress for warm, humid conditions. Ear protection is provided for the airboat ride. Cameras and phones are welcome throughout the park, so bring yours for the baby alligator encounter. If you have the Deluxe package, the Sawgrass Mining Co. gem activity is located within the Glades Exhibit area.
