The Field Trip They'll Remember

Turn a Summer Day Into a Real Everglades Lesson

A movie day or another indoor activity is forgotten by the weekend. A ride across the wild River of Grass is not. Our summer camp airboat tours take campers, students and youth groups into the real Everglades for a hands-on wildlife adventure — real alligators, wading birds and turtles, all explained by a native captain who turns the whole ride into a living science lesson the kids actually enjoy.

We host groups of every size. Keep a small cabin together on one 8-passenger boat, split a bigger camp across our fleet, or load a whole group onto the 15-passenger airboat. Because we launch from three South Florida pickup points right off the Sawgrass Expressway, the Everglades is a short bus ride from most of Broward and Palm Beach — no all-day travel eating the schedule. It pairs perfectly with a gentle daytime tour for younger campers.

  • Summer camps — the outdoor highlight that makes the whole session memorable.
  • Schools & field trips — a live Everglades ecology lesson kids never forget.
  • Church & youth groups — a safe, wholesome adventure for the whole group.

Learning That Doesn't Feel Like School

The Everglades is a living classroom, and our captains are the perfect guides. Kids see the food chain in action, watch how an airboat glides over inches of water and grass, and get real answers to every gator question they can think of. It is the kind of learning that sticks precisely because it does not feel like a lesson — it feels like the best day of camp all summer.

Because our captains grew up on these waters, safety comes first the whole way through — hearing protection, stable boats and a pace matched to your group's ages. Meet the native captains who lead every trip, or explore all our Everglades airboat tours to find the right fit. When you are ready, tell us your group size and the campers' ages and we will build the perfect outing around your dates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you host summer camps and school groups?

Yes — camps, schools, church groups and youth groups are some of our favorite trips. Our 15-passenger group boat and seven-boat fleet let us coordinate groups of nearly any size, and our native captains keep it safe, educational and fun. Call 561-660-2419 to plan your group.

Is a group airboat tour educational?

Very. Our captains turn the ride into a live Everglades lesson — real alligators, wading birds, turtles and how the whole ecosystem works, plus the science of how an airboat glides over inches of water. Kids learn a ton without it ever feeling like school.

Is it safe for kids and youth groups?

Yes. Every ride runs on stable, well-maintained boats with hearing protection provided, and our native captains set a gentle, age-appropriate pace the whole time. Tell us the campers' ages when you book and we will match the right boats and captains.

How large a group can you handle?

From a single cabin to a whole camp. Our 15-passenger group boat keeps a big group together, and with seven boats in the fleet we can run larger groups in waves. Share your headcount when you book and we will coordinate the boats to fit everyone.

Where do group tours depart from?

From any of our three South Florida pickup points: Stub Canal in Tamarac, the Sawgrass Expressway at Atlantic Blvd, or The Landing at 15490 Loxahatchee Rd in Parkland — all a short bus ride from most of Broward and Palm Beach. Pick the closest when you book.
