Convenient, Affordable and Unforgettable: Consider a South Florida Everglades Tour

Looking for something completely unique and memorable to do with the kids this summer? If you're tired of pricey museums, hotel swimming pools and crowded amusement parks, why not give family time a face-lift with a South Florida Everglades tour? If you're not sure what that means, buckle up, because this is one adventure that's not only convenient and affordable, but truly unforgettable. Here's a look at some of the highlights and the incredible adventure that is a South Florida Everglades tour.

Glide at Lightning Speed Across a River of Grass

Climb aboard a state-of-the-art covered airboat for a once in a lifetime opportunity to journey deep into Florida's most exciting natural attraction - the Everglades. With high performance and cutting-edge excitement, the airboats glide across the Sawgrass River at top speeds of 55 miles per hour, whizzing in and out of cattails, marshes and tropical fauna. With a covered passenger compartment, experiencing the Everglades in style is better than ever. It's optimal comfort and there's never threat of sunburn or rain to ruin your fun. An Everglades tour is exciting, but at lightning speeds, it's truly electrifying.

Dazzle Them with a Live Gator Show

Need a break after an exhilarating airboat ride? Not a chance, because your Everglades tour continues with an action-packed live gator show. Watch Animal Planet's Gator Boys round out your adventure with extraordinary and dangerous trickery involving Florida's ancestral dinosaur - the American alligator. Don't try this at home, because these guys have trained for decades to bring you heart-pumping and death-defying stunts, tricks and incredible demonstrations. With more than 3,000 pounds of jaw-crunching ferocity, Florida's alligators are a sight to behold and just another example of the sheer thrill of an Everglades tour.

Experience The Wonders of an International Treasure

Thousands of years in the making, the Florida Everglades isn't just a local treasure. This finely tuned ecosystem is recognized as a "wetland of international importance," as it provides habitat for a variety of rare and endangered species. The manatee, mysterious panther, and of course, the American alligator all call the Everglades home. Sawgrass marshes are filled with creatures to delight visitors of all ages. From exotic birds and tropical fish to ravenous alligators and slithery snakes, the magic of the Everglades is awe-inspiring. And up close and personal, this is one adventure they're not likely to forget.
