What Will You See On A Fort Lauderdale Airboat Rides Everglades Tour?

Journey Through The Everglades With A Fort Lauderdale Eco-Tour

Everglades National Park is located in the southern part of Florida and is 1.5-million-acres of greatly diverse plant and animal life. The reserve is the third largest National Park in the United States. It is also the most extensive subtropical wilderness in the nation.

Known as the River of Grass (popularized by author Marjory Stoneman Douglas in 1947), these vast wetlands are critical to the ecological diversity of the state, the country, and even the world. In addition to being established as a National Park in 1934, the Everglades has been designated as a World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Reserve, and a Wetland of International Importance by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Wildlife and animals

The Everglades is a place where you will discover an impressive range of plants and animals. It is one of the largest wetlands in the world, bigger than a lot of people seem to think. You will be exposed to a potential of 350 thriving species of birds and most importantly, you will have a chance to witness the American alligator and the American crocodile. That is not all though, as are also bobcats such as the Florida Panther which can be seen living on the land. Some animals are rarer than others, so seeing a specific creature is never guaranteed. However, airboat captains will always do their best to bring you to the best spots where you can potentially witness such amazing creatures.

It is important to know that all animals are completely wild. You will therefore have to stay within the airboat at all times for your own safety.  We know where to find those creatures, and we also know how to keep you safe from them. Out of respect to the Everglades’ ecosystem, we always avoid intruding on the wildlife. We do this to give the animals space and peace they deserve, and it helps to keep you safe too!
