About this experience

Fish the Florida Everglades and witness nature’s wonders all around you while fishing. The river of grass will amaze you as we drive our bass boats to the fishing destination. It’s not only a thrill, but a very educational too. Stay confident this is not just another airboat tour, it’s an experience that you get to explore the Florida Everglades and catch bass all in one!

Our local experts have years of experience fishing these long stretches of wild canals and can get you on more Florida largemouth bass than you can handle. This trip is perfect for the family and you will get the chance to experience all that Florida has to offer!

So grab your hat, sunglasses and cell phone to take pictures. All you have to do is step on board, cast a pole and wait for the tug on the other end.

Our travelers also enjoyed a day on the Intracoastal Waterway, Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park!
