Every Adventurer’s Delight

Most of the Indiana Joneses of the world travel to remote areas of the planet to experience the best of nature's offerings. The Florida Everglades is one such wonder of nature! Adventure seekers can come to the glamorous city of Miami and enjoy not only the manmade sights, but also indulge in a fantastic escapade to the famed wetlands.

Looking is Fine, Touching is Dangerous

Tourists will be surrounded by subtropical jungles and will have the opportunity to see alligators and other local wildlife. Do not feed the gators!

Adventurists can avail of the Everglades shuttle services to travel from Miami to Everglades. You may either go to the Everglades National Park or to other places from where the airboat is launched. Visitors to the park can also engage in a wide range of excursions like boating, camping in the wilderness, etc, in addition to a fascinating ride aboard an Everglades airboat. It may also be noted that Miami Everglades tours are available as private and group tours. You may opt for either, as both are equally fun. Group Everglades tours Miami are a little less costly. Also, you may meet like-minded adventure seekers during a group tour of the Everglades.

Tourists who have never been aboard a fan boat will be thrilled by the ride. The airboats can be big or small depending on the kind of tour that you have opted for. Tourists can also opt for lavish air-conditioned airboats. These airboats are apt for those who are willing to shell out that little bit extra for a comfortable adventure through the Everglades. However, as compared to smaller airboats, big airboats cannot access the more remote areas of the swamp.


Items to Improve the Quality of Life

The adventure begins as soon as the engines of the airboats are fired up. You will glide through the shallow waters of the wetlands at good speeds. The feel of the sunshine beating down on your body and the wet breeze caressing your face is simply awesome. Open airboats are great for those who want to experience all the offerings of the Everglades, including the mosquitoes (not as many in the winter). Adventurer seekers can however take the necessary precautions to avoid the unwanted side effects of the adventure. Insect repellants, sun screens, hats, and so on will be of great help and will allow you to enjoy this tour even more.

Paint Your Own Picture

After the airboat has travelled to the isolated sections of the marshes, the captain of the boat will slow down and make stops at several locations. Most tours of the Everglades are touted as alligator tours. But the fact is that tourists will encounter a wide variety of flora and fauna during the trip. You will come across such exotic animals like the Florida panther, the West Indian manatee, and so on. The guides on the boat will also point out the different plant species unique to the wetlands, and the role that they play in the sustenance of this fragile ecosystem.

A tour of the Florida Everglades should be on the to-do list of every adventurer!
