Airboat Tours and the Everglades are usually used in the same sentence in Southwest Florida. When people think of the Everglades they imagine zooming through the sawgrass seeing alligators and different types of birds on an airboat. Everglades City and the surrounding areas have some of the best airboat captains in the world . A lot of these captains have lived in the Everglades their whole life, so if you are looking for history on the Everglades, Calusa Indians, or have questions about the resident American alligator these people are the ones to ask. If you are looking for an adrenaline rush and want to see the beauty of the Everglades this is something you should try. Most of the airboat trips go for 45 minutes to an hour. There are plenty of restaurants in Everglades City and Chokoloskee Island to choose from and after you are done, come join us for a kayak trip. We have a 2 hour express kayak trip perfect for those who want to go on an adrenaline filled airboat ride and then enjoy the serenity of a kayak trip. If you would like to see two different ecosystems and aspects of the Everglades in one day trip then this is for you. We have many people that ride the airboats and go kayaking in the same day and they are always left with a smile on their faces.
There are many different operators in the area, some take you to Totch Brown’s Island, others do mangrove tunnels and sawgrass prairies. Check out the videos below or give us a call and we would be happy to help. Everglades City is close to Marco Island (35 min), Naples (35 min), Fort Myers (90 min), Miami (90 min).
