Went with my boyfriend and honestly, it was a BLAST! The airboat moved suuuper fast at times (hold onto those hats—mine almost flew off lol). Our guide, Rick, was hilarious and actually knew a ton about alligators. Saw 6 gators, a snake, and a bunch of weird birds I can’t name. It was muddy but I wore old sneakers so no biggie. Bring sunscreen, no shade anywhere. Would totally do it again, even if it was a bit crowded at check-in. Worth it for the thrill!
Everglades Airboat tour
The tour begins at Coopertown The Original Airboat Tour of Everglades National Park with an exhilarating ride. As you glide over the wetlands, the boat heads into the Hardwood Hammock, a small island of solid ground, and continues deeper into Everglades National Park. Along the way, you'll encounter alligator holes and a variety of wildlife, including the vibrant Purple Gallinule, the endangered Everglade Snail Kite, herons, grackles, turtles, and raccoons. Get an up-close and informative look at the unique ecosystem of the Everglades with your knowledgeable guide.
