How much does an Everglades airboat tour cost?
Short answer: Everglades airboat tours start around $26–$36 for a ride and wildlife show at the parks. A combo from Miami with hotel pickup runs about $52. Private and sunset airboat charters cost more. Most tickets include the airboat ride and a gator or wildlife show; transport is the main thing that pushes the price up.

| Combo from Miami (hotel pickup) | ~$52 | Airboat, wildlife show, round-trip bus |

How to keep the cost down
If you have a car, drive to one of the airboat parks on the Tamiami Trail and buy a basic ride — that’s the cheapest way to do it. The hotel-pickup combos cost more because you’re paying for the transport, but they are the easy choice with no car. Booking a few days ahead usually beats walk-up prices and often allows free cancellation.
Is the wildlife show included?
Most airboat tickets include an alligator or wildlife show at the park as well as the ride. Always check the inclusions on the booking page so you know whether transport and the show are part of the price.
