Family Fun On Airboat Rides Miami

By Cheri Knowles


Airboat rides Miami are a favorite among tourists to this region. The Everglades are a beautiful part of the state of Florida. Visitors there are lucky enough to view, in their wild habitat, many rare species of birds and snakes. Those who are particularly fortunate might even get a glimpse of an endangered Florida panther.

Do not ever hang your arms or legs outside the vehicle. Not only are there many species of snakes in this area which are poisonous, but yet another danger lurks the depths below. The millions of alligators and American crocodiles are waiting for a snack.

This zone is also home to a vast array of saltwater marsh plants including pampas grass and cypress trees. One will also find the white water lily makes its home there. There are hardwood tree zones where orchids and wild ferns grow. The mangrove forests and sawgrass marshes really hold the whole ecosystem together.

The boat engineering itself is pure genius. A traditional boat cannot traverse marshy regions due to the submerged propeller. The vehicle your family will be riding on is a flat-bottomed boat with a giant propeller engine located in the back, actually in the boat. This boat is designed to glide over water and marshy land without damaging the flora.

The design of the propeller is pure genius. It pushes air behind the vehicle, moving the craft forward at a great rate of speed. This propeller lives in a giant cage which keeps it safe from branches or body parts from going through and getting caught. The seats in the craft sit much higher than regular boats, allowing for a better view.

When you bring your family to Florida for airboat rides Miami, do not forget the bug spray and sunblock. Avoid wearing fragrances that are likely to attract the river flies to you. Both the sun and the bugs can be merciless to people visiting the area, so a little prevention goes a long way.
