Airboat tours are truly a thrilling experience that all the family will get a kick out off.
And best of all, although finding a company in the Florida Keys itself is a little bit scarce, you are literally a stone’s throw from the greatest exponents of strapping a huge fan to the back of a boat and zipping across the top of the water that you'll ever find.
Yes, the world famous everglades are very close indeed, and within their confines there are quite a few companies offering eco tours, wildlife displays or simply the thrill of going extremely fast across the surface.
All of them will have a huge amount of experience in spotting, the local wildlife such as alligators, crocodiles, eagles, manatees, and even huge burmese pythons!
So look closely at the airboat tours listed below as we will name then either FLA KEYS or MAINLAND to give you a clearer indication of where they are based, Florida Keys or Florida mainland.
But the majority will be the mainland most definitely.
Ok, then let’s go and find you the most fun airboat tours we can, and don’t forget to check out our other pages on eco tours either.
Everglades Safari Park
If you have an image of a day sitting in a boat as the wind whistles through you hair, and the giant fan at the back of the boat creates the sound of a jumbo jet, then you will be disappointed.
Not that you wont get that for 30 t0 40 minutes, but at the Everglades Safari Park, you also get a chance to wander the trails, see the alligator show, and other great everglade wildlife attractions.
The safari park have been in operation for 40 years, and deliver what their customers want big time...a great day out.
