Overview
You will be greeted by an amazing, passionate guide ready and willing to show you the subject of that passion - that is the beginning of this experience! One reason for this is the fact that this is a smaller and more personalized tour, allowing you to take the scenic path through the wildlife of Everglades National Park as your guide narrates. Learning about the beauty as well as the ecological importance of this unique ecosystem is part of the experience so you leave informed as well as mesmerized.
Once you arrive at the start of the real adventure, your guide will lead you on a nature walk through Everglades National Park. Here you will be immersed into three different ecosystems within this stunning tropical wetlands. Your guide will point out different examples of how nature works here. You'll see the tropical hardwood hammock of mature trees and plants and have the opportunity to see alligators, birds and other wildlife up close.
It is now time begin the exhilarating airboat adventure. This is not the commercial airboat adventure that everyone else does, but a 1-hour airboat ride in the heart of the REAL Everglades.
