Add to My List Check Off

Airboating has become a popular ecotourism attraction in the Florida Everglades in the USA. You'll catch a glimpse of endangered wildlife as you skim across the glassy water. The Everglades National Park is known for its vast wildlife. There are hundreds of bird species, many of which are on the endangered or threatened list. You'll see lots of large wading birds, such as the roseate spoonbill, great blue heron, white ibis and a variety of egrets, as well as the osprey. The Everglades' marine life includes more than 200,000 alligators as well as American crocodiles. Tour operators have fleet of airboats of all sizes, capable of accommodating singles, couples, families, and large groups. There is no better way to experience the Everglades. Most of the nearly 2400 square miles of Everglades National Park is managed as a wilderness area and Airboats are prohibited in these parts of the park. There is a section in the northern area of the park that was added as park land in 1989 and private airboat operators currently offer tours in this area. These operators are located off of U S 41/Tamiami Trail between Naples and Miami. There are several airboat operations that offer tours in non-park lands, also along U S 41/Tamiami Trail.
