  • Our Story

    HOW THE PARK BEGAN

    Our park, like most things, had humble beginnings, but from the moment that George left his tobacco farm behind in 1982, something exciting was in the making. With a background in construction, George took his knowledge and built his first airboat in his backyard. This feat didn’t come without sacrifice, of course—he mortgaged his home to make it happen. Gamble or not, he was determined—and before long, he realized he was onto something extraordinary.

    A few decades later and with a few more airboats at the park, what we have today took shape! We’re proud to welcome you to a park that began with one simple airboat and a big dream. Now, we’re the gateway to the state’s most exciting, unique natural attraction of all—The Everglades.

  • Airboat Tours,

    LIVE GATOR SHOWS, & ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS

    We are all about excitement, adventure, education, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences—that’s why we offer the best Everglades airboat tours, LIVE gator shows, and up close and personal Animal Encounters with some of the most interesting creatures! We’re proud to serve families, individuals, groups, educators, corporations, and anyone else who is looking to uncover the thrilling magic of South Florida’s most unique habitat, the Everglades!
