Big Bus Miami with Everglades Experience

 

Discover the beauty of Florida's Everglades National Park with Big Bus Tours. Our Everglades Experience Tour takes you out to Sawgrass Recreation Park, and includes a ride through the famous Everglades 'River of Grass' on an iconic Florida airboat.

The Everglades Experience tour departs at 8.30am, 9.00am & 2:00pm from Stop #2 Miami Beach (Soundscape Park, 1680 Washington Ave), or at 9.05am, 9.35am & 2:35pm from Stop #1 Downtown Miami (Bayside Marketplace, 401 Biscayne Blvd). Please arrive 20 minutes in advance of your chosen departure time.

The journey to the Everglades Sawgrass Recreation Park takes between 45-60 minutes. Total tour duration is approximately 4 hours.

The Everglades is a unique wetland ecosystem in southern Florida, with 5,000 square miles of slow-flowing water supporting grasslands, thick forests and diverse groups of animal life. Often referred to as the 'River of Grass', the swampy Everglades create endless prairies of sawgrass that rise 3 to 10 feet above the surface of the water. The sawgrass is often so dense that travel is possible only through shallow natural water passages, hence the use of those famous flat-bottomed Florida airboats. The Everglades are known for birds like the roseate spoonbill, great blue heron and a variety of egrets. Marine life includes alligators, American crocodiles, soft-shell turtles and fish such as red teriera, largemouth bass, redfish, and catfish.
