Enjoy a Thrilling Shared Airboat Ride, and Explore the Exhibits of live Everglades Animals!
Overview of your Miami tour
Your private tour begins with a brief history of how the Everglades has been under threat by farming, cattle, water management systems, and housing developers, so today, there is less than 20% remaining wildlife habitat. Over 28 years, I have seen a lot of promises made, and broken, by various government and private organizations! Your airboat ride includes a professional captain, and also shared with other passengers. Your ride will be about 30-45 minutes long. The airboat captain will search for alligators, turtles, and many species of wild birds. During your visit you will see various exhibits and displays, depending on the airboat park selected. You have great opportunities to safely take close-up photos of alligators, turtles, snakes, iguanas, and many other species. You also learn about a plan to restore the wetlands' habitat and clean the water, as well as find out if there is enough time to save our environment and which species are already in peril.
