An Everglades tour Miami offers a fun-filled airboat tour across the Florida wetlands. It may be noted that the Everglades is the last remaining wetland in North America, and home to a number of rare and endangered species of animals. After the fan boat tour, teachers, and students can go camping in the wilderness of the Everglades National Park, which is a protected section of the swamp and recognized as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
A tour of the sawgrass marshes is mostly promoted as an alligator tour, but students will get to see other rare animals like the West Indian manatee, the mysterious Florida panther, varied snakes, crocodiles, turtles, and other God's creatures as well. Students will also be given information about the varied plant life and the breathtaking wonders of nature that make up this fragile ecosystem.
All set to go!
Tourists can avail the services of an Everglades shuttle to travel from Miami to Everglades. Since, the class trip also involves a camping excursion, it is best to take a shuttle to the Everglades National Park. From here, you can avail of an airboat ride through the river of grass, as well as other excursions such as hiking, bike tours, and of course camping.
The ride on an Everglades airboat is quite unique and amazing. The boats will glide through the shallow waters of the sawgrass wetlands as if they were skating on ice. The drivers will eventually slow down the boats so that students as well teachers can check out the fascinating flora and fauna. The knowledgeable and friendly guides who accompany you on the class trip will pass on every piece of information about the habitat and its wild inhabitants. Students will also be able to get down on tiny tree covered islands within the Everglades. These islands are known as hammocks and unique to this swamp. They are home to diverse plant, bird, and animal life. A walk through these islands is very refreshing and mesmerizing.
The class may then return the Everglades National Park. If there is time, students may enjoy other activities such as a wildlife show, walks through the beautiful trails in the park, etc. Then you may proceed to the other part of the schedule, i.e. camping.
Experience the wilderness from close quarters!
There are many front and backcountry camping sites located in the Everglades National Park. Camping in the backcountry requires permits which can be obtained at the visitors centers in the park. The front country sites also offer electric hookup facilities at an additional charge. All these camping locations near the beaches, ground sites, or elevated platforms can be reached via kayaks, boats, or even a hike. The real fun begins after the sun sets and the music starts playing around a campfire. Enjoy!
