Coopertown Air Boat Tour - Everglades

Had to check this one off our list. No trip to Miami would be complete without an air boat ride in the Everglades. Thankfully, I had earplugs cause it was really noisy. A few alligator sightings but no other wildlife, save the ones the ones they had in their “zoo” for lack of a better word. Got to hear and see one of the resident alligators doing his mating call. And at the tours end, got to hold a small alligator named Toby, which made the trip totally worthwhile for me. There are beautiful walks and even a tram ride that are highly recommended, but with the heat we decided to save that for next time.

Everglades National Park is a 1.5-million-acre wetlands preserve on the southern tip of the U.S. state of Florida. Often compared to a grassy, slow-moving river, the Everglades is made up of coastal mangroves, sawgrass marshes and pine flatwoods that are home to hundreds of animal species. Among the Everglades' abundant wildlife are the endangered leatherback turtle, Florida panther and West Indian manatee.Okumaya devam et
