The great thing about going on an airboat ride is getting the chance to see a wide variety of wildlife that live in and around the swamp. Bring a pair of binoculars and your camera to see different types of birds like bald eagles, ospreys, and roseate spoonbills. Of course, a trip to the swamp would not be complete without seeing alligators swimming close to your airboat and spotting deer. Wear comfortable clothing like a long-sleeved shirt and pants to avoid falling prey to insect bites.ride-the-wind airboat

If you decide to wear shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, make sure that you bring bug repellant and put on an adequate amount of sunblock. You should also bring a hat and sunglasses for warm days, or a light jacket if you’re planning on taking the trip during the cooler months. Going on airboat tours is a great opportunity to get away from the city and experience what Florida’s nature has to offer, whether you’re a tourist or a Florida native. Riding an airboat is a fun way to get close to wildlife while adding an element of excitement thanks to the powerful boats. By keeping these tips in mind, you’ll surely enjoy your trip to the Everglades.
