Experience the Great Outdoors

The Florida Everglades is a true wonder of nature. The wide diversity of wildlife and the indigenous history of the region are just some of the reasons why a part of the Florida wetlands, known as the Everglades National Park, has been declared as a world heritage site by UNESCO.

A Miami Everglades tour offers not only an alligator tour of the swamp but also a variety of other safaris such as camping in the wilderness, hiking, kayaking, and so forth. However, the highlight of an Everglades tour Miami is an airboat tour across the wondrous creation of nature.

Tourists can use the services of an Everglades shuttle to come to the Everglades National Park. From here on you can enjoy all the excursions, including the amazing ride on a fan boat.

The Spectacular Airboat Tours

There are several tour companies located within the boundaries of the Everglades National Park, which provide Everglades airboat tours. Tourists may choose one that best serves their interests. It may also be noted that smaller airboats are capable of reaching the more remote areas of the Everglades, which are mostly inaccessible by larger airboats. Small airboats are generally used for private tours. Hence, families will also have the added advantage of a private tour of the Everglades. Additionally, private tours come with pickup and drop facilities. The staff at the tour companies will plan the tour as per the needs of the customer. The only downside of a private airboat tour is that they are costlier than group tours.

The fun starts as soon as the passengers have boarded the airboat. It swiftly makes its way through the meandering waterways till it reaches the more isolated areas of the Everglades. This is where the wildlife is abundant and thriving. You will come across a variety of animals such as alligators, raccoons, bob cats, snakes, and so on (no, these animals should not be fed by you out of your own hand). The rich diversity of plant life will also astound the tourists. The friendly and knowledgeable guides on board the airboats share information about these different plant species and their various uses by the locals. They will also talk about the history of the region, the problems, and the various conservation efforts.


Take the Perfect Shot

Tourists will get to check out the animals from up close or from a safe distance, so as not to disturb them. Do not forget to take your cameras. The unique ecosystem with its breathtaking views and diverse wildlife offers a unique opportunity to take some amazing photos. A few guides also seem to have a certain knack of interacting with the wildlife. They can call out to the birds, such as purple gallinules; and to your surprise, you may find an entire family of gallinules on your boat!

No Pain

The fun does not end just yet. After the airboat tour, tourists will be enthralled at a wildlife show where you can get your picture taken with baby alligators. You can cap off the trip with a delicious meal at some of the local restaurants, and try out unique meats like alligator tail, frog legs, and so on. Do not worry; these animals were not killed in a terrible manner.

Educational and Thrilling

Miami is one of the main cities in the United States, if not the world. It was famous far before Will Smith hyped it up. It is also home to the Florida Everglades, the last piece of wetland in North America. Tourists must ensure that they visit this wonder of nature during their vacation in the city.

This is not a Petting Zoo

A Miami Everglades tour is not only exciting but also very educational. Tourists can enjoy a variety of excursions such as hiking, camping, canoeing, airboat tours, etc. at the Everglades National Park. At the same time, you will come to know about the history of the region, the different species of plant and animal life, and so forth. Thus, an alligator tour of the Florida Everglades is fantastic for families with kids. This is not the time to be that curious though.

The Florida Everglades is situated on the outskirts of Miami. Tourists can use the services of an Everglades shuttle to travel from Miami to Everglades. Tourists may directly opt for an Everglades airboat ride across the Florida wetlands, or can check out the various activities at the Everglades National Park and then cap off the enjoyable trip with a fan boat tour.


The Everglades National Park: A World Heritage Site

Adventure seekers who visit the Everglades National Park as part of their Everglades tours Miami are in for the time of their lives. The adventure may begin with a visit to the Ernest Coe visitors center. This is the place where you will get to know everything that is to know about the park and the different activities. You can also check out the orientation programs and videos, get maps of the area, and check out the schedules and timings of the different excursions. The junior ranger program has been designed for kids and a definite must do.


The Thrilling Ride Across the River of Grass

A zippy fan boat ride through the shallow waters of the Everglades is indeed an experience of a lifetime. This is more so with individuals who have never been on an airboat tour. The powerful machines will navigate through the narrow waterways with speed and agility. A few of these airboats come equipped with dual steering. Travelers are allowed to take control of the second wheel and guide the boats through the waters. Children will love the experience of being the captain of these boats!

The boats will slow down and stop after reaching the more remote sections of the Everglades. Here you will get to see a wide range of animals such as alligators, snakes, turtles, etc. The colorful and lush surroundings will also take your breath away. Usually, the boats are stationed at a safe distance from the wild beasts. However, if customers want to have closer interaction with the local wildlife, then the drivers will accommodate the request. This is when you can capture your award winning photos. But if it endangers the animal, the boat, or other customers, they will respectfully deny your request.

Too Much to See at Once

The expert guides are friendly and humorous (as long as you do not litter and disrespect Mother Nature). They will share information about the different animals and plant species, and also point out other details about the ecosystem which may have been missed by travelers who choose not to have a guide. It is spectacular fun!
