Overview
When it comes to airboat eco tours, there is simply no comparison to Wild Florida. Travel deep into the protected swamps, marshes and rivers that make up the Central Florida Everglades. Get an in-depth look at the gators, birds, eagles, trees and plants that can be found in the beautiful Florida wetlands. This is natural and authentic Florida at its best! We guarantee you won’t see any development, homes, or signs of human life. Come see for yourself how good it feels to be in the middle of nowhere.
After the airboat ride, explore the amazing wildlife park full of zebras, watusi, deer, water buffalo, emu, wild boar, zebu, and monster alligators. Visit the tropical bird aviary, hands-on alligator demonstrations, and 500 ft. sightseeing dock. Discover the Hawk Swamp boardwalk through a pristine Florida cypress swamp ecosystem. Don’t forget to pause for some pictures, as your family will get to take home a 6x8 to remember the day.
Exploring is sure to work up an appetite so swing by the Chomphouse Grill for your BBQ Basket. There are many choices to choose from and you can even try some Gator bites! The basket includes a choice of entrée, side, and drink.
To wrap up this wild ride, you will board the Gray Line vehicle for a journey through the Drive Thru Safari Park. This allows you to see more than 100 exotic animals and native Florida wildlife like white-tailed deer, bison, cracker cows, zebras, watusi, and oryx, to name a few. Check out a massive pond inside the park dedicated exclusively as a home for all “nuisance” alligators, trapped by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) SNAP program. Stop and head up to the Giraffe viewing area for an up-close view at these magnificent creatures.
Wild Florida is properly insured with a fleet of US Coast Guard approved boats and captains.
This half hour airboat adventure takes you to the # 1 airboat park in Central Florida. You should not visit Florida without experiencing an airboat ride - it truly is a unique experience!
