Ride through Everglades National Park on an authentic airboat, and see Florida’s most famous creature – the alligator. Your speedy 30-minute ride will whizz you across the marshlands to all the best animal-sighting spots where you might get to see crocodiles, alligators, exotic snakes, birds, and more.
After your whistle-stop speedboat tour you'll get to explore the Sawgrass Recreation Park where there are loads of resident native creatures including shy turtles, iguanas, baby alligators and a 1000 lb resident alligator named Cannibal. You'll also have access to the Glades Exhibit where you can learn all about the history of the Everglades and meet some farmyard animals too. Sawgrass is home to Peking ducks, pot-bellied pigs, bunnies, chickens, peacocks, and more.
