Glide through the Everglades


Experiencing wildlife will definitely make one closer to nature. And if you are one of the many who wishes to explore all the wonders of Mother Earth, the Everglades should undeniably be part of your list. With all the marshes and prairies found in this subtropical wilderness (which is said to be largest in the United States), you will have the opportunity to witness several species of plants and animals you don’t often see. The Everglades National Park is an amazing structure, once made to protect an ecosystem. Expect the place to have numerous people but do not let this stop you from exploring the wonders of this place.


One of the most popular ways of touring the park is through airboat in Everglades Tours. Airboat rides can either be public (or join-in) or private and you can choose whichever fits your (or your group’s) preference. A regular tour lasts for around thirty minutes but if you paid for the private tour, you can extend your time. A ticket is usually inclusive of tours around the swamp yard and the exhibit area where you can see the animals that harmoniously lived within the ecosystem. Also, you get to hear very interesting stories about the Everglades through the local tour guides.


One of the goals of airboat in Everglades is to watch the wild animals in their natural habitat. Nowadays, an up-close sight of large swamp animals like alligators can be easily and safely done because you will be securely (and comfortably) sitting on boats with high performance and quality features. The guides will also give you a profile of the area and will help you spot creatures like turtles and birds. You get to see not only reptiles and fowls in Everglades; you can also see some mammals wandering around. The Everglades is mostly water but you do not have to worry about drowning because the water is only about a foot deep (average).


Aside from the marshes, you can also experience touring the “river of grass” and the hammocks. The name “river of grass” is almost accurate because what you will see is a bunch of tall saw grasses, extending throughout the area, making it look as if you are on land. The hammocks is a piece of land where several trees grow; this is where land animals frequent so when you reach this point of the park, expect to see some wild boar, raccoons, deer and other wildlife. Another area that would amaze you is the array of mangroves, also known as Winding Mangroves.


Riding an airboat in Everglades Miami tours is an interesting way to explore and to experience wildlife. A ticket for the airboat ride will cost about less than $20 for adults and about $10 for kids. A private airboat tour may cost from $170 up to $726, depending on how many you are in a group and how long you wish to conduct the tour. For special tours such as night tours, you might want to call the tour services for reservation. The tickets may seem a little over your budget but because the experience should be enjoyed by anyone, you can easily find tickets half the price. You only need to look for the right packages.
