What the day feels like
What the combined airboat-and-boat outing feels like
The program moves from the kinetic thrust of an airboat across private sawgrass into calmer coastal waterways in Everglades National Park: knowledgeable captains deliver natural and cultural interpretation on both legs, and the itinerary pairs high-energy wetland travel with slower marine wildlife watching and on-foot stops such as a boardwalk and an alligator demonstration.
