Skipping over floating brush and water, the iconic image of the airboat with its enormous fan is quintessentially American Southern. If you visit the Everglades or any of Florida’s many subtropical waterways, you’ll quickly realize that the airboat is the preferred method of transportation for a reason. It’s simple, it’s efficient, and just plain fun.
From flying (well, boating really) across the vast water plains to the Kennedy Space Center to swimming with the manatees or dolphins or just simply taking in all that the wilderness has to offer, you’ll be sure to get your fair share of exposure to what the wilderness keeps in store for you.
And as your chosen airboat propels you forward at speeds of up to 45mph (72 k/h), you’ll see why Florida is known for its complex ecosystems. Pine forests abut winding creeks, which then flow into watersheds that eddy out into the floating brush and swampland that is the Everglades. All this leads to a fantastic diversity of wildlife, and an airboat is a fun and exciting way to see sea manatees, alligators, Egrets, Cranes, Nutria and many more critters that call this area home.

Nous avons passé une excellente journée. Notre guide Madaline était très sympa et drôle. Nous avons eu la chance de trouver très rapidement des lamantins qui sont tout de suite venus nous voir: c'était super.
Le tour en airboat (wild bill) était tout simplement génial. L'endroit où nous avons navigué était sauvage et vraiment magnifique.
Le petit déj chez Sizzler était bien et le panier repas très complet (sandwich, chips, eau, jus de fruit, salade de fruits, cookies).
Seul bémol: les combis pour nager avec les lamantins doivent être réglées à l'avance (10$) et donc pas possible de se desister: mon fils de 4 ans a eu peur des lamantins et n'est pas allé nager avec eux mais nous avons payé pour lui.
We only swam with the manatees and did not do the airboat adventure. Loved the manatee swim!! It was so much fun to touch them and be with them. Very cool experience!! The Three Sisters Spring was breathtaking. The water was crystal clear.
My only disappointment was that there were not a lot of manatees with which to swim. We went the first week in May, and since the weather was warmer, most of the manatees had left the Crystal River. There were not any in the Spring. If I were to go again, I would do it in the winter months when the manatees would be in abundance.
This is definitely a worthwhile experience. I am so glad that we did it!!
