Airboat tour, boat tour, show
Explore the Everglades with a combo of guided rides and on-site attractions. Start with a 30-minute airboat tour across 259 acres of private grasslands, then join a Ten Thousand Islands boat tour in Everglades National Park.
A National Park Entrance Pass is required and must be purchased at check-in if you don’t already have one (examples: $35 vehicle, $20 individual). Wildlife may appear but isn’t guaranteed.
Cancel or change up to 24 hours before start for a refund; after that, you owe full price. Full refund if the operator cancels.
Yes. You need a 7-day Everglades National Park entrance pass for this combo. If you don’t already have one, you must buy it when you check in (examples: $35 vehicle pass or $20 individual pass).
No. Do not arrive by Uber or Lyft—rideshare services do not pick up in Everglades City, so you may not have a way to get back after your tour.
No pets or service dogs are allowed in the Animal Sanctuary, near the boat launch, on airboats, or on swamp buggies. Service dogs are allowed only in the gift shop, restrooms, and picnic areas.

Wooten's delivers a genuinely memorable Everglades experience for most visitors, with standout guides like Captain Brian and Captain Craig earning real praise for their knowledge and ability to keep guests engaged on the water. The airboat ride itself is the main draw, and when conditions cooperate, seeing alligators in their natural habitat makes for an unforgettable outing. The alligator show and animal sanctuary add extra variety, and holding a baby gator is a crowd-pleaser. That said, a few patterns are worth knowing before you go. Wildlife sightings depend heavily on seasonal conditions, particularly water salinity during drier months, and management hasn't always been upfront about this at the time of booking. Waiting times between tour departures can stretch longer than expected, so building some buffer into your day is a smart move. The experience is at its best when you arrive prepared and go in with realistic expectations about what nature may or may not put on display that day.
Really good airboat tour! We got to see some alligators on the boat tour. Tour guide was great and made trip fun!
