Sightseeing  :  United States  :  Florida  :  Miami Beach  :  Eco Tours

This tour goes deeper into the Everglades to Big Cypress National Preserve with the most wildlife and forest.  An airboat will take you out to a Miccosukee tree island. This tour mixes Native American history/archaeology, abundant wildlife in Big Cypress, and a backwards and forwards look at the Everglades park's complex history on this 4.5-hour guided tour. Some highlights include an airboat ride to a Miccosukee tree island, a stop at Clyde Butcher Photo Gallery in the heart of Big Cypress, the Oasis Ranger Station and 20-mile backroad trail through Big Cypress and Miccosukee ReservationTo see the best part of the Everglades, at minimum, you must go to Big Cypress National Preserve, where the forest begins and wildlife is abundant. This tour is different from others because it goes the extra 10 minutes to the Miccosukee Reserve for an airboat ride where the pilot goes on the north side of Tamiami Trail, where the water flows more naturally. The boat takes you to a tree island where the Miccosukee lived for generations, before casinos. Most importantly, the pilot takes his time. This is a tour where the guide goes to Big Cypress, where the forest begins and wildlife increases dramatically.
