FAQs
Airboats have 6 or 10 seats. Board the first available boat for the shortest wait; your group may be split across multiple airboats, and other passengers may ride with you. Toddlers need their own assigned seat, even when sitting on your lap.
Bring close-toed shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, insect repellent, and your National Park Entrance Pass if you already have one.
Visit the Everglades City Boardwalk before it closes at 4 p.m. The last alligator show is also at 4 p.m.
