My husband and I wanted to do an Everglades tour but was unfamiliar with Miami and didn't plan before we were actually in the city. We found Coopertown in a coupon book, along with others. We chose this place because it says it is the "ORIGINAL" airboat tour. When we got there it was raining, but they were more than... more

Their website refers to their place as a "friendly little town" as well as "experience the diversity of wildlife that inhabit this delicate eco-system." When I got there, one of the workers kept scowling at me; not sure why. When I asked a question, the airboat driver seemed annoyed at my questions and kept shaking his head. There were only... more

I was a bit disappointed in this airboat ride. Because of the low water level in the Everglades, we didn't get to do any riding on the "river of grass", which is what I pictured an airboat ride being like (you know, like in CSI Miami)! All the boat did was go out one way in a canal, turn around... more

Disneyworld this place is not. Much more down and basic and all the better for that. As someone has pointed out, this is the first airboat attraction you come to traveling out of Miami. I don't know if the Everglades become more 'dense' the further in you go but don't expect to see large congregations of alligators in the wild... more

Was in Miami end of Nov 08 - of course had to try the airboat tours. Coopertown is the closest to Miami. Got there about late morning. Join other visitors in an airboat (seats about 20 people). The guide gave us some background about the everglades. Noisy ride - I am surprising that any 'sensible' wildlife would come near us... more

The tour was nice, the guide seemed pretty well informed about the Everglades and its unique flora and fauna. They even cared about only using cottonballs for earplugs (the boats are loud) since they were biodegradable, which I appreciated. It was a nice balance of going fast and furious on the boat and slowly drifting through and really taking in... more

Fun experience for the whole family. This particular place has fewer people than the one down the road called "Gator Park" which attracts more tourists and raises up their prices. We checked out both places and went with Coopertown Airboats. On our boat tour, we saw two crocodiles in their natural habitat and got a load of interesting info and... more

We just came back from our first trip to the keys and we took a side trip to Coopertown to take an airboat ride. Even though it was quite a bit out west it was totally worth it! We can't wait to do it again! I was amazed at how busy they were even though they were in the middle... more

My wife and I visited Coopertown during our honeymoon in 5/07. We heard so many great things from others, that we drove 90 miles out of our way to take a ride with them. We got there first thing in the morning, and got to experience all the Everglades has to offer. We saw all kinds of creatures, flora and... more
