Everglades Airboat Tours & Swamp Adventures by Wooten's in Ochopee

Wooten's Everglades Airboat Tour offers an immersive way to engage with Florida’s vast and unique wetland ecosystem right from Ochopee, a gateway community located deep in the Everglades. This section of the Everglades National Park protects one of the largest subtropical wildernesses in the United States, featuring endless marshes, sawgrass prairies, and dense mangrove-lined waterways. The area is globally recognized for its critical role in preserving distinct flora and fauna such as the elusive Florida panther, American alligator, and numerous bird species.

The company’s standout offerings include their Original Combo tours, designed for larger groups and intimate private airboat rides that navigate through the Everglades grasslands in ways that ground vehicles cannot match. These high-speed boats skim across the waters allowing a firsthand look at the wetland’s unique ecology, from the reed-lined edges to the open 'river of grass' that stretches toward the horizon. The Everglades Grassland Airboat and Swamp Buggy tours deliver different perspectives on this environment — the airboat focusing on swift waterways and birdlife observation, and the swamp buggy offering a rugged, ground-level view of the marsh terrain.

Wooten's Stay & Play Adventure packages add a layered experience for visitors who want to spend more time in this wild area, combining guided tours with camping or lodging nearby. Extended Combos bring in extra exploration hours, perfect for adventure seekers chasing that promise of wildlife encounters or the glowing sunset against the wetlands.

Operating out of Ochopee, known as the smallest post office in the United States, Wooten's provides not only exhilarating rides but also a vivid connection to an ecosystem that sustains endangered species and supports ongoing conservation work. Every trip is an invitation to witness the complexity of the Everglades’ waterways, prairies, and wildlife — a must for anyone serious about understanding Florida’s outdoor heritage.
