What a Sunset Airboat Tour from Miami Is Really Like
About an hour before the sun goes down, the Everglades changes. The heat eases off, the light turns gold across the sawgrass, and the water goes still. That’s when our Sunset Airboat Tour heads out.
What the evening ride is like
It’s private: just your group and your captain. The ride out is the same rush across open water you’d get any time of day, but the stops feel different. Birds settle in for the evening, the sky starts to color, and when the engine cuts off it’s very quiet out there.
Times and prices
Sunset tours start from 4:30 pm and are priced for two guests:
- 1 hour: $275
- 1.5 hours: $375
- 2 hours: $475
We run Monday to Saturday and are closed Sundays. Evening slots are limited, so book early, especially for birthdays, anniversaries and proposals.
Sunset or morning?
Mornings are cooler and great for wildlife photos; evenings are about the light and the mood. If you’re weighing the two, this guide to sunset airboating lays out the differences.
What to bring
- A light layer for after the sun goes down
